Description

本発明は、電子部品およびこの電子部品を用いた電子機器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an electronic component and an electronic apparatus using the electronic component.

以下、従来の電子部品について説明する。   Hereinafter, conventional electronic components will be described.

本従来の技術では、電子部品の一例として弾性表面波デバイス(以下、「SAWデバイス」と記す。)を例にとり説明する。   In the conventional technique, a surface acoustic wave device (hereinafter referred to as “SAW device”) will be described as an example of an electronic component.

近年、小型軽量なSAWデバイスは、各種移動体通信端末機器等の電子機器に多く使用されている。特に、800MHz〜2GHz帯における携帯電話システムの無線回路部には、タンタル酸リチウム(以下、「LT」と記す。)基板を用いて作製したSAWフィルタが広く用いられてきた。しかし、LT基板は弾性表面波の伝播方向の基板の熱膨張係数が大きく、また弾性定数そのものも温度により変化するため、フィルタの周波数特性も温度の変化に対して大きくシフトしてしまうという、温度特性に課題を有していた。これに対しては、圧電基板と、圧電基板上に形成されており、少なくとも1つのIDTを構成している電極膜と、前記電極膜を覆うように圧電基板上にスパッタリングにより形成されており、かつ上面に凹凸を有する絶縁膜とを備え、前記電極膜の膜厚が、励振される表面波の波長の1〜3%の範囲とすることで良好な電気特性を得ることができ、さらに温度特性が良好なSAWデバイスを得る方法が特許文献1に示されている。
特開2004−254291号公報
In recent years, small and light SAW devices are often used in electronic devices such as various mobile communication terminal devices. In particular, a SAW filter manufactured using a lithium tantalate (hereinafter referred to as “LT”) substrate has been widely used in a wireless circuit portion of a cellular phone system in the 800 MHz to 2 GHz band. However, since the LT substrate has a large coefficient of thermal expansion of the substrate in the propagation direction of the surface acoustic wave, and the elastic constant itself also changes with temperature, the frequency characteristic of the filter is greatly shifted with respect to the temperature change. Had problems with properties. For this, the piezoelectric substrate is formed on the piezoelectric substrate, and is formed by sputtering on the piezoelectric substrate so as to cover at least one IDT constituting the IDT, and the electrode film, And having an insulating film with irregularities on the upper surface, the thickness of the electrode film can be in the range of 1 to 3% of the wavelength of the excited surface wave, and good electrical characteristics can be obtained. Patent Document 1 discloses a method for obtaining a SAW device having good characteristics.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-254291

しかしながら、特許文献1では電極膜の膜厚が、励振される表面波の波長の1〜3%の範囲としているため、電極膜の導体損失が小さいとは言い難く、電気特性が劣化してしまう。また、電極膜の膜厚が4%以上になると電極膜上に形成された絶縁膜の凹凸形状が大きくなり、挿入損失が劣化してしまう。ただし、これらの具体的な実施例としては基板に36°YLT基板を用いており、基板にニオブ酸リチウム基板(以下、「LN」と記す。)を用いたときの挿入損失に関する具体的な実施例は示されていない。そこで、発明者らは基板にLN基板を用いて、電極膜の膜厚に関する実験を詳細に行った。その中で特許文献1には記載されていない、新たな課題を見出した。それは、電極膜の膜厚が4%以下では良好な特性を実現できるが、4.5%以上になると、共振子の周波数特性において、共振周波数よりも低い側にスプリアスが発生してしまい、良好な特性が実現できないということである。   However, in Patent Document 1, since the thickness of the electrode film is in the range of 1 to 3% of the wavelength of the excited surface wave, it is difficult to say that the conductor loss of the electrode film is small, and the electrical characteristics deteriorate. . Further, when the thickness of the electrode film is 4% or more, the uneven shape of the insulating film formed on the electrode film becomes large, and the insertion loss is deteriorated. However, in these specific examples, a 36 ° YLT substrate is used as the substrate, and specific implementation regarding insertion loss when a lithium niobate substrate (hereinafter referred to as “LN”) is used as the substrate. An example is not shown. Therefore, the inventors conducted an experiment on the thickness of the electrode film in detail using an LN substrate as the substrate. Among them, a new problem not found in Patent Document 1 was found. It is possible to realize good characteristics when the film thickness of the electrode film is 4% or less. However, when the film thickness is 4.5% or more, spurious is generated on the side lower than the resonance frequency in the frequency characteristics of the resonator. It is that the special characteristic cannot be realized.

本発明は、上記の課題を解決するものであり、基板にLN基板を用い、かつ電極膜の膜厚を4.5%以上とし、かつその電極上に保護膜を形成し、その保護膜の形状を任意の形状に整えることによって温度特性および電気的特性が優れた電子部品を得ることを目的とするものである。   The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, uses an LN substrate as a substrate, sets the film thickness of the electrode film to 4.5% or more, and forms a protective film on the electrode. The object is to obtain an electronic component having excellent temperature characteristics and electrical characteristics by adjusting the shape to an arbitrary shape.

L1≦p1かつL2≧p2
(ただし、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)であり、前記櫛型電極に前記アルミニウムよりも重い金属を用いた場合は、前記p1に対して前記L1を小さくした電子部品したことで、適切な反射特性が実現され、その結果、保護膜が電極を覆うように形成されかつその表面に凸凹状態が存在する場合においても、特性の良い電子部品を得ることができるという作用を有する。

図3は本発明の実施の形態1におけるSAWデバイスの製造方法を説明する図である。まず、図3(a)に示すように、LN基板31の上面にAlまたはAl合金を蒸着またはスパッタ等の方法により櫛型電極および反射器となる電極膜32を成膜する。   FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a method for manufacturing a SAW device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, an electrode film 32 to be a comb electrode and a reflector is formed on the upper surface of the LN substrate 31 by a method such as vapor deposition or sputtering of Al or an Al alloy.

次に、図3(b)に示すように、電極膜32の上面にレジスト膜33を形成する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, a resist film 33 is formed on the upper surface of the electrode film 32.

最後にダイシングにより個々に分割した後、セラミックパッケージにダイボンド等によりマウントし、ワイヤーボンディング後、蓋を溶接し気密封止を行った。   Finally, each was divided by dicing, and then mounted on a ceramic package by die bonding or the like. After wire bonding, the lid was welded and hermetically sealed.

本発明の実施の形態1においては、電極およびSiO2膜の形状は
L1≦p1かつL2≧p2
(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)の関係を満たすものである。
In Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the shape of the electrode and the SiO 2 film is as follows:
L1 ≦ p1 and L2 ≧ p2
(However, the relationship of L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, and L1 + L2 = L is satisfied).

この関係を満たす形状を得る方法として、製造方法を示した図3(e)のSiO2膜形成において基板側にバイアスを印加しながらスパッタリングで成膜を行う、いわゆるバイアススパッタリング法を用いた。その際、SiO2膜の形状をコントロールするには、基板に印加するバイアスとスパッタリング電力の比を変える事で行った。 As a method for obtaining a shape satisfying this relationship, a so-called bias sputtering method was used in which a film was formed by sputtering while applying a bias to the substrate side in forming the SiO 2 film of FIG. At that time, the shape of the SiO 2 film was controlled by changing the ratio of the bias applied to the substrate and the sputtering power.

本実施の形態1においては、まずSiO2膜の形状をどのようにすることで、保護膜を形成した場合においても良い特性が得られるかを示すために、以下の4種類のSAWデバイス(実施例1および比較例1〜4)を作製した。比較例1は電極の規格化膜厚h/(2×p)が4%でSiO2膜を設けていない通常のSAWデバイス、比較例2は電極の規格化膜厚h/(2×p)が4.5%でSiO2膜を設けていない通常のSAWデバイス、比較例3は電極の規格化膜厚h/(2×p)が4%でSiO2膜の形状が「L1>p1かつL2<p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たすSAWデバイス、比較例4は電極の規格化膜厚h/(2×p)が4.5%でSiO2膜の形状が「L1>p1かつL2<p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たすSAWデバイス、実施例1は電極の規格化膜厚h/(2×p)が4.5%でSiO2膜の形状が「L1≦p1かつL2≧p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たすSAWデバイスである。ただし、本実施の形態1においては、全ての実施例および比較例におけるSiO2膜の規格化膜厚t/(2×p)は20%とした。図4は比較例3の断面形状、図5は比較例4の断面形状、図6は実施例1の断面形状、図7は各々の電気的特性を示す。この際、SAWデバイスの断面形状は、SAWデバイスの表面を金属及びカーボンでコーティングした上で、FIB(Focused Ion Beam)によりSAWの伝播方向に電極を切断し、電子顕微鏡で観察した結果からその形状を特定した。 In the first embodiment, in order to show how the shape of the SiO 2 film can be used to obtain good characteristics even when a protective film is formed, the following four types of SAW devices (implementation) Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4) were prepared. Comparative Example 1 is a normal SAW device in which the normalized film thickness h / (2 × p) of the electrode is 4% and no SiO 2 film is provided, and Comparative Example 2 is the normalized film thickness h / (2 × p) of the electrode. Is a normal SAW device having 4.5% and no SiO 2 film, Comparative Example 3 has a normalized film thickness h / (2 × p) of 4% and the shape of the SiO 2 film is “L1> p1 and LW <p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, L1 + L2 = L is satisfied) ”, and Comparative Example 4 has a normalized electrode thickness h / (2 × p) of 4. 5% the shape of the SiO 2 film "L1> p1 and L2 <p2 (However, L ≒ p, p1 + p2 = p, satisfies the relationship of L1 + L2 = L)" SAW device satisfies the relationship, the first embodiment of the electrode normalized film thickness h / (2 × p) the shape of the SiO 2 film is "L1 ≦ p1 and L2 ≧ p2 (was in 4.5% To satisfy the relationship of L ≒ p, p1 + p2 = p, L1 + L2 = L) "is a SAW device satisfies the relationship. However, in the first embodiment, the normalized film thickness t / (2 × p) of the SiO 2 film in all examples and comparative examples is set to 20%. 4 shows the sectional shape of Comparative Example 3, FIG. 5 shows the sectional shape of Comparative Example 4, FIG. 6 shows the sectional shape of Example 1, and FIG. 7 shows the electrical characteristics of each. At this time, the cross-sectional shape of the SAW device is obtained by coating the surface of the SAW device with metal and carbon, cutting the electrode in the SAW propagation direction by FIB (Focused Ion Beam), and observing it with an electron microscope. Identified.

図7からSiO2膜を設けていない比較例1及び2においてはレイリー波に起因するスプリアスの発生や反共振周波数割れを生じており、特性的にも非常に悪いことが分かる。比較例3及び4においては両方とも、SiO2膜の形状が「L1>p1かつL2<p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たしているが、比較例3においては共振周波数付近のスプリアスは見られないものの、比較例4においては共振周波数よりも低周波側にスプリアスが発生し、共振周波数における挿入損失が非常に悪くなっていることが分かる。また、SiO2膜の形状が「L1≦p1かつL2≧p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たす、実施例1については共振周波数付近のスプリアスは見られない。また、比較例3及び4の挿入損失を比較しても大幅に改善されていることが分かる。 As can be seen from FIG. 7, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in which no SiO 2 film is provided, spurious due to Rayleigh waves and anti-resonant frequency cracking occur, and the characteristics are very poor. In both Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the shape of the SiO 2 film satisfies the relationship of “L1> p1 and L2 <p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, L1 + L2 = L are satisfied)” However, although spurious near the resonance frequency is not seen in Comparative Example 3, spurious is generated on the lower frequency side than the resonance frequency in Comparative Example 4, and the insertion loss at the resonance frequency is very poor. I understand. Further, in the case of Example 1 in which the shape of the SiO 2 film satisfies the relationship “L1 ≦ p1 and L2 ≧ p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, L1 + L2 = L is satisfied)” Spurious is not seen. It can also be seen that the insertion loss of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 is greatly improved.

次に、電極の規格化膜厚h/(2×p)が3%〜9%でSiO2膜の形状が「L1>p1かつL2<p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たすもの(比較例5)と電極の規格化膜厚h/(2×p)が4.5%〜9%でSiO2膜の形状が「L1≦p1かつL2≧p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たす(実施例2)図1に示したSAWデバイスを直並列に接続したL型フィルタ(図8)を作製し、そのフィルタ特性における中心周波数で測定した温度特性を図9に示した。このとき、直列椀に配置されたSAWデバイスの共振周波数と並列椀に配置されたSAWデバイスの反共振周波数が一致するように図2に示した電極間ピッチpを調整している。 Next, the normalized film thickness h / (2 × p) of the electrode is 3% to 9%, and the shape of the SiO 2 film is “L1> p1 and L2 <p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, L1 + L2 = Satisfying the relationship of “L” (Comparative Example 5) and the normalized film thickness h / (2 × p) of the electrode is 4.5% to 9%, and the shape of the SiO 2 film is “L1 ≦ p1” And L2 ≧ p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, L1 + L2 = L is satisfied) (Embodiment 2) An L-type filter in which the SAW devices shown in FIG. FIG. 9 shows the temperature characteristics measured at the center frequency in the filter characteristics. At this time, the inter-electrode pitch p shown in FIG. 2 is adjusted so that the resonance frequency of the SAW devices arranged in series matches the anti-resonance frequency of the SAW devices arranged in parallel.

図9からSiO2膜の形状が「L1>p1かつL2<p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たすものについては、電極膜厚hが厚くなると温度特性が悪くなっていることが分かる。しかしながら、SiO2膜の形状が「L1≦p1かつL2≧p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」ものについては電極膜厚hが厚くなっても温度特性が良いままであることが分かる。特に電極膜厚が厚いほどその効果が大きいことが分かる。 From FIG. 9, when the shape of the SiO 2 film satisfies the relationship of “L1> p1 and L2 <p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, L1 + L2 = L)”, the electrode film thickness h is It can be seen that the temperature characteristics deteriorate as the thickness increases. However, when the shape of the SiO 2 film is “L1 ≦ p1 and L2 ≧ p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, L1 + L2 = L is satisfied)”, the temperature characteristics are increased even when the electrode film thickness h is increased. Can be seen to remain good. In particular, it can be seen that the greater the electrode film thickness, the greater the effect.

以上のように、電極規格化膜厚h/(2×p)≧4.5%であり、かつSiO2膜の形状を「L1≦p1かつL2≧p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たすようにして作製することによって保護膜を形成した場合において、温度特性が良好で且つ、良い特性が得られることを見出した。 As described above, the electrode normalized film thickness h / (2 × p) ≧ 4.5%, and the shape of the SiO 2 film is “L1 ≦ p1 and L2 ≧ p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p It was found that when the protective film was formed by satisfying the relationship of “L1 + L2 = L”, the temperature characteristics were good and good characteristics were obtained.

本実施の形態1では電極膜としてAlもしくはAl合金を用いたが、電極膜はこれらに限られるものではなく、Cu、W、Ag、AuなどAlよりも重い金属を用いた場合においても、SiO2膜の形状が「L1≦p1かつL2≧p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たし、更には電極が重い分、電極膜にAlを用いた時よりも電極上に存在するSiO2膜の量を少なくする、すなわち、電極にAlを用いたときよりもp1に対するL1の比を小さくすることによって同様の効果を得ることができる。 In the first embodiment, Al or an Al alloy is used as the electrode film, but the electrode film is not limited to these, and even when a metal heavier than Al, such as Cu, W, Ag, Au, is used, SiO 2 2 The shape of the film satisfies the relationship of “L1 ≦ p1 and L2 ≧ p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, L1 + L2 = L)”, and further, the electrode is heavy, so that the electrode film is made of Al. The same effect can be obtained by reducing the amount of SiO 2 film present on the electrode as compared with the case of using it, that is, by reducing the ratio of L1 to p1 as compared with the case of using Al for the electrode.

また、保護膜としてSiO2膜を用いたが、保護膜はこれに限られるものではなく、SiN、SiON、Ta25、TeO2など他の誘電体膜を用いた場合においてもその形状が上記条件を満たせば同様の効果を得ることができることは言うまでも無い。 In addition, although the SiO 2 film is used as the protective film, the protective film is not limited to this, and the shape of the dielectric film can also be used when other dielectric films such as SiN, SiON, Ta 2 O 5 , TeO 2 are used. It goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained if the above conditions are satisfied.

また、本実施の形態1では櫛型電極2にアポタイズによる重み付けを行っているが、この重み付け比(櫛型電極2における両端の交差幅の割合や櫛型電極2における中央部分の重み付けを行っていない領域)に関しては図1に限るものではない。また、櫛型電極2の対数および櫛型電極2の両脇に配置された反射器の本数についても図1に限るものではない。   In the first embodiment, the comb-shaped electrode 2 is weighted by apodization, but this weighting ratio (the ratio of the crossing widths at both ends of the comb-shaped electrode 2 and the weight of the central portion of the comb-shaped electrode 2 is performed. The (non-region) is not limited to FIG. Further, the number of comb electrodes 2 and the number of reflectors arranged on both sides of the comb electrodes 2 are not limited to those shown in FIG.

さらに、形状の形成方法として本実施の形態1ではバイアススパッタリングを用いたが、これもこの手法に限られるものでもない。   Further, although bias sputtering is used in the first embodiment as a shape forming method, this is not limited to this method.

(実施の形態2)
以下本発明の実施の形態2におけるSAWデバイスについて図面を参照しながら説明する。
(Embodiment 2)
Hereinafter, a SAW device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

本実施の形態2におけるSAWデバイスは実施の形態1で用いたSAWデバイスと同様のSAWデバイスを用い、図8に示すフィルタを作製した。したがってその構造および作成方法についてはそれぞれ図1、図2および図3に示したものと同様であり、その説明は省略する。   A SAW device similar to the SAW device used in Embodiment 1 was used as the SAW device in Embodiment 2, and the filter shown in FIG. 8 was produced. Therefore, the structure and the creation method are the same as those shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, and the description thereof is omitted.

本実施の形態2においては、SiO2膜厚と温度特性の関係を示す為に、SiO2膜厚tの異なる4種類のSAWデバイスを作製しSiO2膜厚に対する温度特性を図10に示した。ただし、本実施の形態2によるSAWデバイスは、「L1≦p1かつL2≧p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たし、また、電極の規格化膜厚h/(2×p)は4.5%とした。 In the second embodiment, in order to show the relationship between the SiO 2 film thickness and the temperature characteristics, four types of SAW devices having different SiO 2 film thickness t were prepared, and the temperature characteristics with respect to the SiO 2 film thickness are shown in FIG. . However, the SAW device according to the second embodiment satisfies the relationship of “L1 ≦ p1 and L2 ≧ p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, L1 + L2 = L)”, and the electrode standard The film thickness h / (2 × p) was 4.5%.

図10からSiO2の規格化膜厚が厚くなると温度特性は良くなることが分かる。また、SiO2の規格化膜厚が30%にもなるとほぼ零温度係数を実現できていることが分かる。従って、発明者らはSiO2膜厚をt/(2×p)≦30%の関係を満たすようにして作製することによって温度特性が良好でかつ良い特性が得られることを見出した。 FIG. 10 shows that the temperature characteristics improve as the normalized film thickness of SiO 2 increases. Further, it can be seen that when the normalized film thickness of SiO 2 reaches 30%, a nearly zero temperature coefficient can be realized. Therefore, the inventors have found that the temperature characteristics are good and good characteristics can be obtained by making the SiO 2 film thickness so as to satisfy the relationship of t / (2 × p) ≦ 30%.

(実施の形態3)
以下本発明の実施の形態3におけるSAWデバイスについて図面を参照しながら説明する。
(Embodiment 3)
Hereinafter, a SAW device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

本実施の形態3におけるSAWデバイスは実施の形態1で用いたSAWデバイスと同様のSAWデバイスを用いた。したがってその構造および作成方法についてはそれぞれ図1、図2および図3に示したものと同様であり、その説明は省略する。本実施の形態3によるSAWデバイスも、「L1≦p1かつL2≧p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たしている。ただし、本実施の形態3においては、全ての実施例および比較例における電極の規格化膜厚h/(2×p)は4.5%とした。   A SAW device similar to the SAW device used in the first embodiment is used as the SAW device in the third embodiment. Therefore, the structure and the creation method are the same as those shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, and the description thereof is omitted. The SAW device according to the third embodiment also satisfies the relationship “L1 ≦ p1 and L2 ≧ p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, and L1 + L2 = L are satisfied)”. However, in Embodiment 3, the normalized film thickness h / (2 × p) of the electrodes in all Examples and Comparative Examples was 4.5%.

本実施の形態3においては、基板1の切り出し角度D°と本実施の形態1で示した形状を有する保護膜が形成されたSAWデバイスの電気機械結合係数の関係を示す為に、切り出し角度の異なる計6種類の基板を用いてSAWデバイスを作製し、図11に切り出し角度と電気機械結合係数の関係を示す。実施例3はD°=5°、実施例4はD°=15°、比較例6はD°=41°、比較例7はD°=64°である。また、比較例8はSiO2膜を設けていないD°=64°のSAWデバイスである。図11より切り出し角度が41°の時の結合係数が約11%、切り出し角度が64°の時の結合係数が約5.5%であるのに対して、実施例3や実施例4では結合係数が非常に大きな電気機械結合係数を実現している。また、比較例8としてSiO2膜を設けていないD°=64°の電気機械結合係数を図中に示しているが、この値以上にするためには少なくともD≦25°であれば実現できる。従って、発明者らはニオブ酸リチウム基板の切り出し角度が、X軸周りにZ軸方向への回転角度をD°とした場合、0°≦D°≦25°の関係を満たすようにして作製することによって温度特性が良好でかつ大きな電気機械結合係数が得られることを見出した。 In the third embodiment, in order to show the relationship between the cut-out angle D ° of the substrate 1 and the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the SAW device on which the protective film having the shape shown in the first embodiment is formed, SAW devices are manufactured using six different types of substrates, and FIG. 11 shows the relationship between the cut-out angle and the electromechanical coupling coefficient. Example 3 has D ° = 5 °, Example 4 has D ° = 15 °, Comparative Example 6 has D ° = 41 °, and Comparative Example 7 has D ° = 64 °. Comparative Example 8 is a SAW device with D ° = 64 ° without an SiO 2 film. From FIG. 11, the coupling coefficient is about 11% when the cutting angle is 41 ° and the coupling coefficient is about 5.5% when the cutting angle is 64 °. An electromechanical coupling coefficient with a very large coefficient is realized. Further, as Comparative Example 8, an electromechanical coupling coefficient of D ° = 64 ° in which no SiO 2 film is provided is shown in the figure, but in order to make this value or more, it can be realized if at least D ≦ 25 °. . Accordingly, the inventors produce the lithium niobate substrate so that the cutting angle of the lithium niobate substrate satisfies the relationship of 0 ° ≦ D ° ≦ 25 ° when the rotation angle in the Z-axis direction around the X-axis is D °. As a result, it was found that the temperature characteristics are good and a large electromechanical coupling coefficient can be obtained.

(実施の形態4)
以下本発明の実施の形態4におけるSAWデバイスについて図面を参照しながら説明する。
(Embodiment 4)
Hereinafter, a SAW device according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

実施の形態1で用いたSAWデバイスの基板1は、X軸周りにZ軸方向へ数度回転させたY板から切り出したニオブ酸リチウムからなるもので、その回転の角度が5°である5°YLN基板であるが、本実施の形態4におけるSAWデバイスは基板1としてX軸周りにZ軸方向へ数度回転させたY板から切り出し、その回転の角度が5°である5°YLN基板とシリコン基板の接合基板を用いている。この基板1以外は同様のものを用いている。LN基板とシリコン基板の接合方法に関しては直接接合技術や接着剤を用いるなどによって可能である。   The substrate 1 of the SAW device used in the first embodiment is made of lithium niobate cut out from a Y plate rotated several degrees around the X axis in the Z axis direction, and the rotation angle is 5 °. The SAW device according to the fourth embodiment is a 5 ° YLN substrate that is cut out from the Y plate rotated several degrees around the X axis in the Z axis direction as the substrate 1, and the rotation angle is 5 °. And a silicon substrate are used. Other than this substrate 1, the same one is used. As for the method of joining the LN substrate and the silicon substrate, it is possible to use a direct joining technique or an adhesive.

本実施の形態4によるSAWデバイスも、「L1≦p1かつL2≧p2(ただし、L≒p、p1+p2=p、L1+L2=Lの関係を満たす)」の関係を満たしている。本実施の形態4においては、シリコン基板の張り合わせの有無による温度特性の関係を示す為に、2種類のSAWデバイスを作製し、図12および図13に−35℃、25℃、+85℃のそれぞれの温度で測定した電気特性を示す。図12には比較例9として基板1が5°YLN基板を用いた時の特性を示している。また、図13には実施例5として基板1が5°YLN基板とシリコン基板の接合基板を用いた時の特性を示している。図12および図13から、基板1に5°YLN基板を用いた時の温度に対する周波数変動に対して、基板1が5°YLN基板とシリコン基板の接合基板を用いた時の温度に対する周波数変動は小さいことが分かる。それぞれの特性における反共振周波数より算出した温度特性は基板1が5°YLN基板の場合は約−33ppm/Kであるのに対して、基板1が5°YLN基板とシリコン基板の接合基板の場合は−10ppm/Kと大幅に改善していることが分かる。従って、発明者らは基板にLN基板とシリコン基板の接合基板を用いることによって、良好な温度特性及び電気特性が得られることを見出した。   The SAW device according to the fourth embodiment also satisfies the relationship “L1 ≦ p1 and L2 ≧ p2 (where L≈p, p1 + p2 = p, and L1 + L2 = L are satisfied)”. In the fourth embodiment, two types of SAW devices are manufactured in order to show the relationship of temperature characteristics depending on the presence / absence of bonding of silicon substrates. FIGS. 12 and 13 show −35 ° C., 25 ° C., and + 85 ° C., respectively. The electrical characteristics measured at the temperature are shown. FIG. 12 shows characteristics when the substrate 1 uses a 5 ° YLN substrate as Comparative Example 9. Further, FIG. 13 shows characteristics when the substrate 1 is a bonded substrate of a 5 ° YLN substrate and a silicon substrate as Example 5. From FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the frequency variation with respect to the temperature when the substrate 1 uses the bonded substrate of the 5 ° YLN substrate and the silicon substrate is different from the frequency variation with respect to the temperature when the substrate is using the 5 ° YLN substrate. I understand that it is small. The temperature characteristic calculated from the antiresonance frequency in each characteristic is about −33 ppm / K when the substrate 1 is a 5 ° YLN substrate, whereas the substrate 1 is a bonded substrate of a 5 ° YLN substrate and a silicon substrate. It can be seen that there is a significant improvement of −10 ppm / K. Therefore, the inventors have found that good temperature characteristics and electrical characteristics can be obtained by using a bonded substrate of an LN substrate and a silicon substrate as the substrate.

なお、本実施の形態においてはLN基板の厚みについては触れていないが、LN基板を研磨して薄くして、シリコン基板と張り合わせることによって更なる温度特性改善の効果が可能であることは言うまでもない。   In this embodiment, the thickness of the LN substrate is not mentioned, but it goes without saying that the temperature characteristic can be further improved by polishing and thinning the LN substrate and bonding it to the silicon substrate. Yes.

(実施の形態5)
本実施の形態では、電子機器の一例として携帯電話を例に取り説明する。
(Embodiment 5)
In the present embodiment, a mobile phone will be described as an example of an electronic device.

図14は本発明の実施の形態5における携帯電話の概観図、図15は図14内部の要部の電気回路図である。図15に示すように本実施の形態5の携帯電話は、アンテナ151およびこのアンテナ151に接続されたアンテナ共用器152を有している。このアンテナ共用器152は、送信用SAWフィルタ153、受信用SAWフィルタ154、および移相回路155により構成する。   FIG. 14 is a schematic view of a mobile phone according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention, and FIG. 15 is an electric circuit diagram of a main part in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, the cellular phone of the fifth embodiment has an antenna 151 and an antenna duplexer 152 connected to the antenna 151. The antenna duplexer 152 includes a transmission SAW filter 153, a reception SAW filter 154, and a phase shift circuit 155.

本実施の形態5における送信用SAWフィルタ153および受信用SAWフィルタ154は、実施の形態1で説明したSAWデバイスを直並列に複数段接続することによって得た。図16に上記送信用SAWフィルタ153および受信用SAWフィルタ154を用いたWCDMA用アンテナ共用器の電気特性を示す。帯域内(送信側:1920MHz〜1980MHz及び、受信側:2110MHz〜2170MHz)において約−1.5dBと良好な挿入損失を実現しており、更には阻止域(送信側:2110MHz〜2170MHz、受信側:1920MHz〜1980MHz)でも約−60dBと良好な減衰量を実現していることが分かる。このように実施の形態1で説明したSAWデバイスを用いることによって、温度特性及び電気特性が優れたアンテナ共用器を容易に得ることが可能となる。   The SAW filter for transmission 153 and the SAW filter for reception 154 in the fifth embodiment are obtained by connecting the SAW devices described in the first embodiment in a plurality of stages in series and parallel. FIG. 16 shows electrical characteristics of a WCDMA antenna duplexer using the transmission SAW filter 153 and the reception SAW filter 154. In the band (transmission side: 1920 MHz to 1980 MHz and reception side: 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz), a good insertion loss of about −1.5 dB is realized, and further, a stop band (transmission side: 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz, reception side: 1920 MHz to 1980 MHz), it can be seen that a good attenuation of about −60 dB is realized. Thus, by using the SAW device described in the first embodiment, it is possible to easily obtain an antenna duplexer having excellent temperature characteristics and electrical characteristics.

以上の様に本発明によれば、基板上に形成された電極を覆うように保護膜を形成し、かつその保護膜の形状や厚さを特定の範囲に設定することによって温度特性および電気的特性が優れた電子部品を得ることができる。   As described above, according to the present invention, the protective film is formed so as to cover the electrode formed on the substrate, and the shape and thickness of the protective film are set within a specific range, whereby the temperature characteristics and electrical characteristics are set. An electronic component having excellent characteristics can be obtained.
