Description

薄膜体声波谐振器及其制造方法Thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator and manufacturing method thereof 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及半导体器件制造领域,尤其涉及一种薄膜体声波谐振器及其制造方法。The invention relates to the field of semiconductor device manufacturing, in particular to a thin-film bulk acoustic wave resonator and a manufacturing method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
自模拟射频通讯技术在上世纪90代初被开发以来,射频前端模块已经逐渐成为通讯设备的核心组件。在所有射频前端模块中,滤波器已成为增长势头最猛、发展前景最大的部件。随着无线通讯技术的高速发展,5G通讯协议日渐成熟,市场对射频滤波器的各方面性能也提出了更为严格的标准。滤波器的性能由组成滤波器的谐振器单元决定。在现有的滤波器中,薄膜体声波谐振器(FBAR)因其体积小、插入损耗低、带外抑制大、品质因数高、工作频率高、功率容量大以及抗静电冲击能力良好等特点,成为最适合5G应用的滤波器之一。Since the analog radio frequency communication technology was developed in the early 1990s, radio frequency front-end modules have gradually become the core components of communication equipment. Among all RF front-end modules, the filter has become the component with the strongest growth momentum and the greatest development prospects. With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, 5G communication protocols have become more mature, and the market has also put forward more stringent standards for various aspects of the performance of radio frequency filters. The performance of the filter is determined by the resonator unit that composes the filter. Among the existing filters, the film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) has the characteristics of small size, low insertion loss, large out-of-band suppression, high quality factor, high operating frequency, large power capacity, and good resistance to electrostatic shock. Become one of the most suitable filters for 5G applications.
通常,薄膜体声波谐振器包括两个薄膜电极,并且两个薄膜电极之间设有压电薄膜层,其工作原理为利用压电薄膜层在交变电场下产生振动,该振动激励出沿压电薄膜层厚度方向传播的体声波,此声波传至上下电极与空气交界面被反射回来,进而在薄膜内部来回反射,形成震荡。当声波在压电薄膜层中传播正好是半波长的奇数倍时,形成驻波震荡。Generally, the film bulk acoustic wave resonator includes two film electrodes, and a piezoelectric film layer is arranged between the two film electrodes. Its working principle is to use the piezoelectric film layer to generate vibration under an alternating electric field. The bulk acoustic wave propagating in the thickness direction of the electric film layer is transmitted to the interface between the upper and lower electrodes and the air to be reflected back, and then reflected back and forth inside the film to form an oscillation. When the sound wave propagates in the piezoelectric film layer exactly an odd multiple of the half wavelength, a standing wave oscillation is formed.

In other embodiments, the first substrate 1 may also have a single-layer structure, and the first cavity 121 is formed in the first substrate 1.
第一空腔121的上方设有压电叠层结构3,压电层32遮盖第一空腔121,第一电极31和第二电极33的边缘均位于第一空腔121围成区域的边界以内。The piezoelectric laminate structure 3 is provided above the first cavity 121, the piezoelectric layer 32 covers the first cavity 121, and the edges of the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33 are located at the boundary of the area enclosed by the first cavity 121 Within.
第二电极33和第一电极31的形状可以相同也可以不相同。在本实施例中,第二电极33和第一电极31的形状相同,均为任意两边不平行的多边形,第二电极33和第一电极31在垂直于压电层32方向上完全重叠,第一电极31和第二电极33的边缘界定有效谐振区的边界,即第一电极31和第二电极33的边缘为有效谐振区的边界,且第一电极31和第二电极33仅存在于第一空腔121上方。第一电极31和第二电极33在无效谐振区,沿垂直于压电层表面方向上,不相互重叠,可以避免由于存在电位浮空产生的高频耦合问题,有利于提高谐振器Q值。The shapes of the second electrode 33 and the first electrode 31 may be the same or different. In this embodiment, the second electrode 33 and the first electrode 31 have the same shape, and both sides are non-parallel polygons. The second electrode 33 and the first electrode 31 completely overlap in the direction perpendicular to the piezoelectric layer 32. The edges of the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33 define the boundary of the effective resonance region, that is, the edges of the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33 are the boundary of the effective resonance region, and the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33 only exist in the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33.

The first signal connection terminal and the second signal connection terminal serve as signal input terminals or signal output terminals.
在本实施例中,第一空隙43的高度大于第一电极31的厚度,以使第一电极31的全部边缘被暴露于空气中,同样的,第二空隙53的高度也大于第二电极33的厚度,以使第二电极33的全部边缘被暴露于空气中。在其他实施例中,第一空隙43的高度可以等于或小于第一电极31的厚度;第二空隙53的高度也可以等于或小于第二电极33的厚度。当第一电极31边缘被全部暴露于空气中时,以及第二电极33边缘被全部暴露于空气中时,效果最佳。第一电极31和第二电极33的边缘均与空气形成反射界面,使声阻抗失配,抑制横波泄露,达到消除有效谐振区边界杂波的效果,进而提升谐振器的品质因子(Q值)。此外,还减小了耦合至第一电极31和第二电极33中的能量,从而避免第一电极31和/或第二电极33发生损耗以致影响谐振器的品质因子(Q值),进而提高谐振器在整个工作频段中的品质因子(Q值)。本实施例中,第一空隙43和第二空隙53的投影位于第一空腔121内。在其他实施例中,第一空隙43和第二空隙53的投影也可以位于第一空腔121外。In this embodiment, the height of the first gap 43 is greater than the thickness of the first electrode 31, so that all edges of the first electrode 31 are exposed to the air. Similarly, the height of the second gap 53 is also greater than that of the second electrode 33. The thickness of the second electrode 33 is exposed to the air. In other embodiments, the height of the first gap 43 may be equal to or less than the thickness of the first electrode 31; the height of the second gap 53 may also be equal to or less than the thickness of the second electrode 33.

In addition, the energy coupled to the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33 is also reduced, so as to prevent the loss of the first electrode 31 and/or the second electrode 33 from affecting the quality factor (Q value) of the resonator, thereby improving The quality factor (Q value) of the resonator in the entire operating frequency band.
