Abstract
An acoustic resonator assembly includes a layer of high-acoustic-impedance material and a layer of low-acoustic-impedance material made of a low-electrical-permittivity material. This assembly may support the resonator over an interconnect layer or act as a decoupling assembly between two active elements of the resonator. The assembly may alternatively include three low-acoustic impedance layers. Alternatively, the assembly may include three acoustic impedance layers wherein two of the layers are low acoustic impedance layers and the third layer has a higher acoustic impedance than the first two or alternatively is a high-acoustic impedance layer.

- 1. Technical Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to the field of integrated circuits, and more particularly to integrated circuits comprising one or more acoustic or piezoelectric resonators. Such circuits can be used in signal processing applications, for example, for performing a filtering function.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Acoustic resonators are integral with the integrated circuit, while having to be acoustically or mechanically isolated therefrom. For this purpose, a support capable of producing such isolation may be provided. The support may comprise an alternation of a layer having a high acoustic impedance and a layer having a low acoustic impedance (see, U.S. Pat. No. 6,081,171, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference).
- The term “acoustic impedance” is understood to mean the quantity Z given by the density ρ of the material multiplied by the acoustic velocity v, i.e., Z=ρν. The acoustic velocity ν may be taken as being defined by:
ν=(ρC33) 12
where C33 is one of the coefficients of the elastic compliance matrix. - For high acoustic isolation performance, it is desirable for the difference in acoustic impedance between the materials to be as high as possible.
- A need exists in the art to meet this requirement.
- The invention proposes a support/decoupling structure for an acoustic resonator, providing a high level of acoustic isolation.

- In one embodiment, the layer of high-acoustic-impedance material is an upper electrode of said another resonator.
- Advantageously, the relative electrical permittivity of the low-acoustic-impedance material is less than 4, preferably less than 3 and better still less than 2.5.
- Advantageously, the layer of low-acoustic-impedance material is produced from one of the materials used for fabricating the rest of the circuit of which it forms a part, for example, for fabricating the interconnect levels.

Copper has an acoustic impedance lower than that of tungsten, but is beneficial as it is often used in the interconnects of the circuit. A copper layer on the support may thus be produced during a common step for fabricating interconnects.
- In one embodiment of the invention, the layer of low-acoustic-impedance material has a thickness of between 0.3 and 0.7 μm.
- The invention also proposes an acoustic resonator comprising at least two active elements and a decoupling assembly. The decoupling assembly comprises at least a layer of low-acoustic-impedance material made of a low-electrical-permittivity material placed between the active elements.
- In one embodiment of the invention, an active element comprises at least one piezoelectric layer placed between two electrodes. A lower electrode of an upper active element may rest on the decoupling assembly. The decoupling assembly may rest on an upper electrode of a lower active element. The piezoelectric layer may be made of crystalline aluminum nitride. The decoupling assembly acts as interface between two active elements.
- Advantageously, the decoupling assembly comprises no more than one layer of low-acoustic-impedance material.
- Advantageously, the decoupling assembly comprises two layers of low-acoustic-impedance material.
- Advantageously, the decoupling assembly comprises three layers of low-acoustic-impedance material.

The support of the acoustic resonator may include at least one bilayer assembly comprising a layer of high-acoustic-impedance material and a layer of low-acoustic-impedance material made of a low-electrical-permittivity material.
- In one embodiment of the invention, the acoustic resonator is placed on the set of interconnects, for example being supported by an upper dielectric layer of the set of interconnects.
- In another embodiment of the invention, the acoustic resonator is placed near the set of interconnects, the upper electrode of the upper active element of the acoustic resonator possibly being flush with the upper surface of the set of interconnects.
- Advantageously, at least one material is common between the support and the substrate or the set of interconnects. Copper may serve both as the layer of high-acoustic-impedance material of the support and for the metallization lines of the set of interconnects. Preferably, a common fabrication step will be provided both for the said layer of high-acoustic-impedance material of the support and the metallization levels of the set of interconnects.
- A layer of low-acoustic-impedance material may be placed at the same level as an interconnect layer.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view of an acoustic resonator according to one aspect of the invention; and -
FIG. 6 is a schematic view of an acoustic resonator according to one aspect of the invention. - As may be seen in
FIG. 1 , anintegrated circuit 1 comprises asubstrate 2, in which active zones (not shown) are generally formed, and a set ofinterconnects 3 placed above thesubstrate 2 and in contact with its upper surface, provided with at least one metallization level allowing interconnects to be made between the elements of the substrate. - The
integrated circuit 1 is completed by a mechanicalacoustic resonator 4 placed above the set ofinterconnects 3 in contact with itsupper surface 3 a. The mechanicalacoustic resonator 4 supported by the set ofinterconnects 3 will also be provided with electrical connections (not shown). - In the embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 2 , theacoustic resonator 4 is placed within the set ofinterconnects 3 and is flush with itsupper surface 3 a. This construction makes theintegrated circuit 1 more compact. A lower portion of theacoustic resonator 4 may be embodied in the set ofinterconnects 3, while an upper portion will be left free so as to be able to vibrate, being separated from the rest of the set ofinterconnects 3 via agroove 5. Thegroove 5 ensures that the component is isolated in the lateral directions, that is to say it allows the layers to vibrate without direct interference with the substrate. The thickness of thegroove 5 may be small, for example less than 1 μm. - The structure of the
acoustic resonator 4 will be described in greater detail with reference toFIG. 3 . - The
acoustic resonator 4 comprises anactive element 6, asupport 7 that rests on theupper surface 3 a of the set ofinterconnects 3 and supports theactive elements 6, adecoupling layer 13 that rests on the upper surface of theactive element 6 and a supplementaryactive element 14 that rests on the upper surface of thedecoupling layer 13. - The
active element 6 comprises three main layers in the form of alower electrode 8, apiezoelectric layer 9 and anupper electrode 10. The supplementaryactive element 14 comprises three main layers in the form of alower electrode 15, apiezoelectric layer 16 and anupper electrode 17. Theelectrodes interconnects 3. Theelectrodes piezoelectric layers electrodes - The
piezoelectric layers electrodes piezoelectric layers - The
decoupling layer 13 consists of a single layer made of low-acoustic-impedance material. In one embodiment of the invention, the material of low-acoustic-impedance has a low electric impedance, for example a material containing SiOC. SiOC or porous SiOC may be used. - The
support 7 comprises a high-acoustic-impedance layer 11 resting on theupper surface 3 a of the set ofinterconnects 3 and a low-acoustic-impedance layer 12 that supports thelower electrode 8 of theactive element 6. - The high-acoustic-
impedance layer 11 may be made of a dense material, such as amorphous aluminum nitride, copper, nickel, tungsten, gold or molybdenum. Alloys or superpositions of sublayers of these species may be envisaged. Tungsten offers an extremely high acoustic impedance and may be obtained so as to avoid the residual fabrication constraints, especially in a xenon environment, for example, by a xenon plasma. Copper offers less favorable acoustic impedance characteristics than tungsten, but has the advantage of often being used in the sets of interconnects for forming the conducting lines. Its use in the high-acoustic-impedance layer 11 may allow the saidlayer 11 to be produced by the same fabrication step as that for the conducting line of the set of interconnects, which is particularly economic. - The low-acoustic-
impedance layer 12 is made of a material having a low electrical permittivity, because of the correspondence between low electrical permittivity and low acoustic impedance. The permittivity of the material of thelayer 12 is less than 4. However, it will be preferred to use a material having a permittivity of less than 3, for example, a dielectric having a permittivity of around 2.9, often used as dielectric layer in the active zones of the substrate or in the set ofinterconnects 3. Here again, the same fabrication step may be used to form thelayer 12 and a dielectric layer of the set ofinterconnects 3. For example, SiOC or SiOC-based material may be used. It is even more advantageous to make thelayer 2 from a material having an ultralow permittivity of less than 2.5, for example around 2.0. For this purpose, thelayer 12 may be made of porous SiOC or may be based on such a material. The pores of the porous SiOC may contain argon. - It will be understood that it is particularly advantageous from an economic standpoint to produce the
support 7 from chemical species used for the fabrication of the set of interconnects. It is then possible to profit from the fabrication steps for the said set of interconnects in order to produce thesupport 7. This therefore avoids additional steps and a longer fabrication process. - Since the low-acoustic-impedance material of the
layer 12 offers a very large acoustic impedance difference relative to that of thelayer 11, the acoustic and/or mechanical isolation provided by thelayer 7 between theactive element 6 and the rest of the integrated circuit is improved. As a result, it is possible to reduce the number of pairs oflayers layer 7 for the same isolation characteristics. Thus, an application conventionally requiring three or four pairs of layers may be produced with only one or two pairs oflayers FIG. 3 shows asupport 7 with one pair oflayers support 7 with two superposed pairs oflayers layers - It should be noted that a reflector may comprise an odd number of layers if a first layer of low acoustic impedance is placed under one or more bilayers.
- The thickness of the low-acoustic-
impedance layer 12 depends on the resonant frequency of theactive element 6 and could advantageously be around one quarter of the wavelength. Thelayer 12 may have a thickness of the order of a few tenths of a micron, preferably less than 0.7 μm, for example from 0.2 μm to 0.7 μm. The thickness of the high-acoustic-impedance layer 11 may be the order of a few tenths of a micron, for example 0.3 μm to 3.2 μm. - The low-acoustic-impedance material of the
decoupling layer 13 offers a very large acoustic impedance difference relative to that of theelectrodes active elements - The invention therefore offers a support for an acoustic resonator having a very high acoustic impedance of between 30×10−6 and 130×10−6 kg/m2.s. It is thus possible to benefit from an acoustic resonator, and from an integrated circuit, that is more compact and more economic because of the reduction in the number of layers.
- In the embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 4 , thedecoupling layer 13 is replaced by adecoupling assembly 18 placed between theupper electrode 10 of the loweractive element 6 and thelower electrode 15 of the supplementaryactive element 14. Thedecoupling assembly 18 comprises twolayers layers impedance layers impedance layer 19 consists of porous SiOC comprising argon and the low-acoustic-impedance layer 20 comprises non-porous SiOC or a non-porous SiOC-based material having an acoustic impedance higher than the acoustic impedance of thelayer 19. Thedecoupling assembly 18 provides an improved acoustic decoupling between theactive element 6 and the supplementaryactive element 14. - In the embodiment of
FIG. 5 , thedecoupling assembly 18 comprises a supplementaryupper layer 21 placed between thelayer 20 and thelower electrode 15 of the supplementaryactive element 14. At least one of thelayers layers layers layer 20 has an acoustic impedance greater than the acoustic impedance of thelayers layer 20 comprises non-porous SiOC or non-porous SiOC-based material. - In another example, the
layer 20 is made of high acoustic impedance material, such as the material used for an electrode of an active element or the high-acoustic-impedance material of thelayer 11 of thesupport 7. Thelayers - The invention therefore offers a stack of resonators acoustically separated by decoupling layers or assemblies. Consequently, the acoustic resonators are particularly compact and economic.
- In the embodiment of
FIG. 6 , the acoustic resonator comprises threeactive elements support 7 and twodecoupling assemblies active element 6 rests on thesupport 7. Thedecoupling assembly 18 is placed between theactive elements decoupling assembly 21 is placed between theactive elements decoupling assembly 21 may be similar to thedecoupling assembly 18. Theactive element 22 may be similar to theactive elements - Although preferred embodiments of the method and apparatus of the present invention have been illustrated in the accompanying Drawings and described in the foregoing Detailed Description, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, but is capable of numerous rearrangements, modifications and substitutions without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth and defined by the following claims.
