2. Description of the Related Art Conventional methods for evaluating the surface acoustic wave velocity of a piezoelectric substrate are roughly classified into two types: destructive and nondestructive. In the former case, a comb-shaped electrode is provided on a piezoelectric substrate to be measured, a filter or a resonator is manufactured, and the sound speed is evaluated from the frequency characteristics of the device. The latter evaluates the speed of sound with a measuring jig in contact with or non-contact with a piezoelectric substrate to be measured, typically by ultrasonic microscopy. As one type of simple surface acoustic wave velocity evaluation method belonging to the latter, a plurality of comb-shaped electrodes are formed on a non-piezoelectric substrate, and the surface of the non-measured piezoelectric substrate is formed on a non-piezoelectric substrate with a comb-shaped electrode formed thereon. A filter or the like is composed of a piezoelectric substrate to be measured and a comb-shaped electrode on a non-piezoelectric substrate, which are in close contact with or close to the surface of the piezoelectric substrate. A method of detecting the electric signal output from the electrode and analyzing the detected electric signal to evaluate the surface acoustic wave velocity of the piezoelectric substrate to be measured has been proposed and used.

However, in such a measuring method, when the surface of the piezoelectric substrate to be measured is brought into close contact with the non-piezoelectric substrate, it is covered by the comb-shaped electrodes formed on the non-piezoelectric substrate. The surface of the measured piezoelectric substrate may be damaged, and in this way, even if the surface of the measured piezoelectric substrate and the comb-shaped electrode on the non-piezoelectric substrate are apparently in contact, Since the surface of the piezoelectric substrate to be measured and the comb-shaped electrode on the non-piezoelectric substrate are not always in uniform contact, there is a problem that a stable electric signal, that is, a smooth measurement result cannot be obtained from the output comb-shaped electrode. ing. Also, when the surface of the piezoelectric substrate to be measured is closely opposed to the non-piezoelectric substrate, that is, when an air gap is formed between the surface of the piezoelectric substrate to be measured and the comb-shaped electrode on the non-piezoelectric substrate, The presence of the air gap weakens the electric signal from the output comb-shaped electrode, and lowers the resolution of the measurement result. As a result, the accuracy of the evaluation of the speed of sound deteriorates. Furthermore, in order to control this air gap, it is necessary to equip the measuring device with precise sensors and complicated control systems. Also, when a plurality of comb-shaped electrodes are formed on a non-piezoelectric substrate and a filter is formed by these comb-shaped electrodes and the piezoelectric substrate to be measured, when measuring the characteristics of the filter, the electric power input to the input comb-shaped electrode is measured. If the frequency of the signal is high, electromagnetic coupling occurs between these comb-shaped electrodes, so that the pass characteristic of the filter is deteriorated and the accuracy of evaluation of the speed of sound is deteriorated.

[0007] In addition, one non-piezoelectric non-conductive substrate 1
The surface acoustic wave velocity of the piezoelectric substrate 2 to be measured can be evaluated by forming only the comb electrodes 3 and measuring the electric reflection characteristics of the comb electrodes 3 with the measuring device 5.
Generally, the electric reflection characteristic of only one comb-shaped electrode 3 is shown in FIG.
It is as shown in. The frequency f 0 at which the reflection coefficient becomes the minimum value shown in FIG. 2 is the peripheral wavelength λ of the comb-shaped electrode 3 and the surface acoustic wave velocity v of the piezoelectric substrate to be measured, approximately v = f 0
Has a relationship of λ. By utilizing this relationship, the sound velocity of the surface acoustic wave can be evaluated. When only one comb-shaped electrode 3 is formed on the non-piezoelectric non-conductive substrate 1 and the sound velocity is evaluated based on the electric reflection characteristics of the comb-shaped electrode 3, the non-piezoelectric non-conductive substrate 1 Compared to the case where a plurality of comb-shaped electrodes 3 are formed and the speed of sound is evaluated based on the characteristics of the filter constituted by the comb-shaped electrodes 3, there is no direct electromagnetic coupling problem between the comb-shaped electrodes 3, so that a cleaner measurement is possible. The result is obtained. Therefore, the evaluation method of the present invention in which only one comb-shaped electrode 3 is formed on the non-piezoelectric non-conductive substrate 1 and the sound velocity is evaluated based on the electric reflection characteristics of the comb-shaped electrode 3 is preferable.

Further, the structure of the comb-shaped electrode 3 formed on the non-piezoelectric non-conductive substrate 1 is a split electrode structure (also called a double electrode structure), that is, as shown in FIG. Signal electrode finger 3a and ground electrode finger 3b
Are alternately repeated two by two, and the width of the electrode finger and the interval between the electrodes are the same on the electrode structure of one electrode cycle length,
In addition, if both of them have a structure that is one eighth of the electrode period length, the acoustic reflections of the respective electrode fingers in the comb-shaped electrode 3 cancel each other out, and as a whole, the inside of the comb-shaped electrode 3 Therefore, the frequency f 0 at which the electrical reflection coefficient of the comb-shaped electrode 3 shown in FIG. 2 is theoretically the minimum value is the electrode period length λ and the surface acoustic wave velocity v Therefore, the sound velocity can be evaluated with higher accuracy because of the precise relation of v = f 0 · λ. Therefore, the evaluation method of the present invention in which only one comb electrode 3 is formed on the non-piezoelectric non-conductive substrate 1 and the structure of the comb electrode 3 is a split electrode structure (double electrode structure) is optimal.

The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to examples. 3A and 3B are schematic configuration diagrams of the surface acoustic wave acoustic velocity evaluation method of the present embodiment, in which FIG. 3A is a top view and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view of a comb-shaped electrode portion. In this embodiment, a 4-inch glass wafer 11 is used as a non-piezoelectric non-conductive substrate, and a Langasite 3-inch wafer 12 of (0 °, 140 °, 24 °) orientation is used as a non-piezoelectric non-conductive substrate. Ultrapure water 14 as liquid
It was used. The material of the comb electrode was Al. An electrode film was formed on a glass wafer by a sputtering method, and the film thickness was 2000 °. The structure of the comb-shaped electrode is a split electrode structure, that is, a double electrode 13, and was formed by a photolithography process. The cycle length of the electrode was 40 μm. The number of electrodes and the width of intersection were set to 50 pairs and 2 mm, respectively. A network analyzer 15 is used as a measuring device, and a prober 16 is used to connect the double electrode 13 and the network analyzer 15.
Was used as a micro prober of Cascade. FIG. 4 shows the result of the reflection coefficient of the split electrode measured by the network analyzer 15 with the above configuration. In order to confirm the effects of the present invention, in the present embodiment, as a comparative example, a similar measurement was performed by a conventional method in which the surface of a piezoelectric substrate to be measured was brought into close contact with an electrode on a non-piezoelectric non-conductive substrate. More specifically, the electric reflection characteristics of the split electrode are set in a state where the liquid is not put between the 4-inch glass wafer and the 3-inch langasite wafer and the surface of the langasite wafer is brought into close contact with the electrode on the glass wafer. Was measured. FIG. 5 shows the measurement results. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in contrast to the zigzag measurement result of the conventional method (comparative example), the measurement result of the evaluation method of the present invention is very smooth. After the measurement was completed, the surface state of the langasite wafer was examined using a microscope in both the evaluation method of the present invention and the conventional method (Comparative Example). As a result, in the case of the evaluation method of the present invention, no scar was observed on the surface of the langasite wafer, whereas in the case of the conventional method (comparative example), minute scratches were observed on the surface of the langasite wafer. Therefore, the evaluation method of the present invention is superior to the conventional method.
