Definitions
- the present invention relates to a piezoelectric device using a thin film of a piezoelectric single crystal material and a method for manufacturing the piezoelectric device.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the manufacturing process of the piezoelectric device of Patent Document 1.
- hydrogen ions are implanted from the surface 7 side of the piezoelectric substrate 5 to form an ion implantation layer 6 at a predetermined depth d of the piezoelectric substrate 5.
- a binder 8 is deposited on the surface 7 of the piezoelectric substrate 5 by sputtering.
- FIG. 1C the piezoelectric substrate 5 and the support substrate 9 are bonded.
- the bonded body of the piezoelectric substrate 5 and the support substrate 9 is subjected to heat treatment, and separation is performed using the ion implantation layer 6 as a separation surface. As a result, a piezoelectric thin film 5 ′ as shown in FIG. 1 (D) is formed on the support substrate 9.
- the piezoelectric substrate 5 has the ion implantation layer 6 side of the piezoelectric substrate 5 convex as shown in FIG. 2 (A). Warping occurs. The reason for this warping is that the distance between crystal lattices of the piezoelectric material is expanded by the implanted ion element in the ion implanted portion of the piezoelectric substrate 5.
- the piezoelectric material on the surface 7 on the ion implantation layer 6 side has a crystal interstitial distance between crystals before ion implantation.
- the support substrate 9 is bonded in an extended state compared to the distance between the lattices. Therefore, when separated by the ion implantation layer after bonding to the support substrate 9, as shown in FIG. 2B, the compressive stress compressing the back surface 4 facing the surface on the piezoelectric thin film 5 'side of the support substrate 9 is piezoelectric.
- the support substrate 9 after being separated by the thin film 5 ' is warped with the piezoelectric thin film 5' side convex.
- the piezoelectric thin film device manufactured by the manufacturing method of Patent Document 1 has a problem in that the surface roughness of the piezoelectric thin film 5 ′ is deteriorated because the compressive stress is applied to the separation surface during the separation. Moreover, since the said compressive stress generate
- an object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric device that prevents deterioration of the surface roughness of the piezoelectric thin film and cracking of the support substrate caused by ion implantation, and a method for manufacturing the piezoelectric device.
- the piezoelectric device of the present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.
- the piezoelectric device of the present invention is separated from a support and a piezoelectric single crystal substrate into which an ionized element has been implanted, with the portion where the concentration of the implanted element reaches a peak as a separation surface.
- the stress layer contracts the surface of the support on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side. That is, in the support, the shrinkage stress due to the stress layer and the compressive stress due to the piezoelectric single crystal thin film are balanced.
- the piezoelectric single crystal thin film is obtained by separating the piezoelectric single crystal substrate into which the ionized element has been implanted, using the portion where the concentration of the injected element has a peak as a separation surface.
- the separation forming step formed on the support the following separation is performed. That is, the separation due to the compressive stress on the separation surface by the piezoelectric single crystal thin film is not performed, but the separation due to the gasification of the implanted ion element is performed. Therefore, deterioration of the surface roughness of the piezoelectric single crystal thin film can be prevented. Further, since the compressive stress due to the piezoelectric single crystal thin film is not locally generated on the separation surface, the support is not cracked after the separation.
- the piezoelectric device manufacturing method of this configuration it is possible to prevent the surface roughness of the piezoelectric single crystal thin film from being deteriorated and the support from being cracked.
- the stress layer is a compressive stress film which is formed on the back surface side facing the surface on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side of the support and compresses the surface on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side of the support.
- the compressive stress film compresses the surface of the support on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side. That is, in the support, the compressive stress by the compressive stress film and the compressive stress by the piezoelectric single crystal thin film are balanced.
- the material of the compressive stress film is silicon oxide, silicon nitride, zinc oxide, tantalum oxide, aluminum nitride or aluminum oxide.
- the stress layer is a tensile stress film that is formed between the piezoelectric single crystal thin film and the support and pulls the piezoelectric single crystal thin film.
- the tensile stress film pulls the piezoelectric single crystal thin film to compress the surface of the support on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side. That is, in the support, the tensile stress caused by the tensile stress film and the compressive stress caused by the piezoelectric single crystal thin film are balanced.
- the material of the tensile stress film is silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, or aluminum oxide.
- the support includes a support layer that supports the piezoelectric single crystal thin film, and a void layer formed between the piezoelectric single crystal thin film and the compressive stress film.
- the tensile stress film compresses the surface of the support on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side. That is, in the support, the tensile stress caused by the tensile stress film and the compressive stress caused by the piezoelectric single crystal thin film are balanced.
- the electrode film is an IDT electrode.
- the method for manufacturing a piezoelectric device of the present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a piezoelectric device including a support and a piezoelectric single crystal thin film bonded to the support.
- This method for manufacturing a piezoelectric device has at least an ion implantation step, a stress layer formation step, a support formation step, and a separation formation step.
- a stress layer formation step an ionized element is implanted into the piezoelectric single crystal substrate, thereby forming a portion where the concentration of the element implanted into the piezoelectric single crystal substrate reaches a peak.
- the support formation step the support is formed on the ion implantation surface side of the piezoelectric single crystal substrate.
- the stress layer forming step a stress layer for contracting the surface of the support on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side is formed.
- the piezoelectric single crystal substrate is separated from the piezoelectric single crystal substrate using the portion where the concentration of the implanted element has a peak as the separation surface, and a piezoelectric single crystal thin film is formed on the support.
- the piezoelectric thin film is formed on the support in a state where the stress layer is formed in the separation forming step.
- the stress layer contracts the surface of the support on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side. That is, in the support, the shrinkage stress due to the stress layer and the compressive stress due to the piezoelectric single crystal thin film are balanced. Therefore, in this manufacturing method, in the separation forming process, separation due to the compressive stress on the separation surface by the piezoelectric single crystal thin film is not performed, but separation due to gasification of the implanted ion element is performed. Therefore, deterioration of the surface roughness of the piezoelectric single crystal thin film can be prevented.
- the support is not cracked after the separation. Therefore, according to the manufacturing method of the piezoelectric device having this configuration, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the surface roughness of the piezoelectric single crystal thin film and the cracking of the support.
- a compressive stress film that compresses the surface of the support on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side is formed as a stress layer on the back side facing the surface of the support on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side.
- the piezoelectric thin film is formed on the support in a state where the compressive stress film is formed on the back surface facing the surface on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side of the support.
- the compressive stress film compresses the surface of the support on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side. That is, in the support, the compressive stress by the compressive stress film and the compressive stress by the piezoelectric single crystal thin film are balanced.
- an ion-implanted layer is formed as a stress layer on the back side facing the surface on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side of the support.
- the ion-implanted layer compresses the surface of the support on the piezoelectric single crystal thin film side. That is, in the support, the compressive stress due to the ion implantation layer and the compressive stress due to the piezoelectric thin film are balanced.

Abstract
Description
このイオン注入層を分離面として圧電基板から圧電薄膜を分離形成する方法を用いた圧電デバイスの製造方法について、図1を用いて以下説明する。
よって、この製造方法では、分離形成工程において、圧電単結晶薄膜による分離面への圧縮応力を起因とした分離が行われず、注入イオン元素のガス化を起因とした分離が行われる。そのため、圧電単結晶薄膜の表面粗さの劣化を防止できる。また、圧電単結晶薄膜による圧縮応力が分離面に局所的に発生することも無くなるため、分離後に支持体が割れることもない。
従って、この構成の圧電デバイスの製造方法によれば、圧電単結晶薄膜の表面粗さの劣化と支持体の割れを防ぐことができる。
上記応力層形成工程は、圧電単結晶薄膜を引っ張る引張応力膜を応力層として圧電単結晶基板のイオン注入面側に形成する。
なお、圧電単結晶基板1にタンタル酸リチウム基板以外の素材を用いた場合、それぞれの基板に応じた条件でイオン注入を行う。
なお、この接合には、直接接合と呼ばれる活性化接合や親水化接合や金属層を介した
相互拡散を利用した接合を用いることができる。また、本実施形態では、支持基板50を圧電単結晶基板1に接合しているが、実施の際は、支持基板50を、成膜等により圧電単結晶基板1上に形成しても構わない。
仮に、このように反った状態で圧電単結晶基板1と支持基板50とを接合した場合、イオン注入部分100側の面12の圧電材料は、結晶格子間距離がイオン注入前の結晶格子間距離に比べて伸びた状態で支持基板50と接合することになる。そのため、支持基板50と接合した後の分離形成工程で、イオン注入部分を分離面として分離した時、支持基板50の圧電薄膜10側の面14に対向する裏面15を圧縮する圧縮応力が圧電薄膜10にかかり、分離後の支持基板50は、図6(B)に示すように圧電薄膜10側を凸にして反ってしまう。
なお、支持基板50の面14が、本発明の「支持体の圧電単結晶薄膜側の面」に相当する。
S104の分離形成工程により、図5(C)に示すように、支持基板50の表面14に、単結晶の圧電薄膜10が形成される。
次に、図7(A)に示すように、圧電薄膜10の表面上に、Al(アルミニウム)等を用いて、所定膜厚の上部電極60A,60BとIDT(InterdigitalTransducer)電極60Cを形成する(図3:S106)。ここで、上部電極60A、60BとIDT電極60Cが、本発明の「電極膜」に相当する。
なお、電極60A~60Cには、Alのみでなく、デバイスの仕様に応じて、Al,W、Mo、Ta、Hf、Cu、Pt、Ti、Au等を単体もしくは複数積層して用いてもよい。
従って、この実施形態の圧電デバイスの製造方法によれば、第1の実施形態の圧電デバイスの製造方法と同様の効果を奏する。
そして、圧電単結晶基板1におけるイオン注入部分100側の面12に、所定膜厚の犠牲層30を形成する(図14:S302)。犠牲層30は、具体的には、Ni,Cu,Al等の金属や、SiO2、ZnO、PSG(リンケイ酸ガラス)等の絶縁膜や、有機膜等から、条件に応じて適宜設定する。犠牲層30は、蒸着、スパッタリング、CVD、スピン塗布等により、支持基板50の表面上における空隙層80となる空間(即ち、圧電薄膜10が圧電デバイスとして機能する振動領域および孔部81A、81Bの直下の空間)に、成膜される。なお、実施の際は、犠牲層30を引張応力膜となるよう形成しても構わない。
なお、支持層40は、圧電単結晶基板1や犠牲層30に対して、線膨張係数を加味した上で材質を決定するとよりよい。
従って、この実施形態の圧電デバイスの製造方法によれば、第1の実施形態の圧電デバイスの製造方法と同様の効果を奏する。
