图2示出了本发明的体声波谐振器的一个参考示例的截面示意图,该谐振器包括基底10、声学镜20、底电极30、压电层40、顶电极50、声阻抗不匹配结构601A和601B、钝化层或工艺层70。如图2所示,底电极包括底电极层30A和30B,两者之间设置有作为声学镜20的间隙层,声学镜20的上侧设置有种子层或阻挡层S,种子层的材料可以为AlN、SiN等;压电层40包括第一压电层40A和第二压电层40B,第二压电层40B的端部沿谐振器的有效区域形成有悬翼结构或空隙层601。基于图2的结构,因为底电极包括了底电极层30A和30B,所以降低了底电极的电阻损耗,从而在提升谐振器并联阻抗Rp的同时也降低了谐振器的串联阻抗Rs。虽然图2所示的结构相对于图1所示结构有利于提升谐振器在串联和并联频率点处的性能,但是,还存在进一步提升谐振器在串联和并联频率点处的性能的需求从而进一步提升滤波器整体通带的插损表现的需求。
下面参照图3A-图9K示例性说明本发明的具体实施例。
图3A为根据本发明的一个示例性实施例的体声波谐振器的截面示意图。如图3A所示,根据本发明的示例性实施例的谐振器包括:
基底10;
声学镜20;
底电极30,所述底电极包括第一电极层30A和第二电极层30B,第一电极层30A与第二电极层30B之间设置有空隙层,所述空隙层限定所述声学镜20,所述第二电极层30B的一部分位于所述声学镜20的上方,第二电极层30B的上表面沿谐振器的有效区域形成有凸起结构101;
压电层40,所述压电层包括第一压电层40A和第二压电层40B,在图3中,第二压电层40B处于第一压电层40A的上侧,且第二压电层40B的端部沿谐振器的有效区域形成有悬翼结构,所述悬翼结构的下表面与第一压电层40A的上表面之间限定有第一声阻抗不匹配结构,在该声阻抗不匹配结构为空气构成的情况下,可以看到,沿谐振器的有效区域,空隙层601A设置在第二压电层40B与第一压电层40A之间,具体的第一声阻抗不匹配结构为悬翼结构限定的空隙层601A;
顶电极50;和
工艺层或钝化层70,在图3A所示的实施例中,如能够理解的,也可以不设置工艺层或钝化层70。
在图3A所示的实施例中,如能够理解的,底电极可以不仅仅为两层电极,还可以更多个电极层,不论怎样,在最上层的电极层的上表面形成(不论是直接形成还是基于在沉积过程中的传导形成)有凸起结构101。对于图3所示结构的谐振器,在底电极为多层电极的情况下,不仅可以通过基于底电极的上表面设置凸起结构101而提升谐振器的并联阻抗,而且可以通过降低底电极的电阻损耗而降低谐振器的串联阻抗。在提升谐振器的并联阻抗的同时降低谐振器的串联阻抗,可以使得使用本发明谐振器制造的滤波器提升整体通带的插损。
在图3A所示的结构中,第一声阻抗不匹配结构或空隙层601A可以沿谐振器的整个有效区域设置,也可以仅仅沿部分区域设置,均在本发明的保护范围之内。
在本发明的一个实施例中,例如参见图3A,空隙层601A的内侧边界处于声学镜20的边界的内侧,从而限定谐振器的有效区域的边界。在本发明的不同实施例中,虽然没有示出,空隙层601A的内侧边界可以仅仅限定有效区域的部分边界或者不限定有效区域的边界,这些也在本发明的保护范围之内。
在图3A中,在顶电极的非电极连接端,第二压电层40B上侧的膜层的端面与第二压电层40B的端面齐平,但是本发明不限于。在顶电极的非电极连接端,第二压电层40B上侧的至少一个膜层的端面也可以与第二压电层40B的端面在水平方向上错开,具体的,第二压电层40B上侧的膜层的端面可以均处于第二压电层40B的端面的内侧,在可选的实施例中,上侧的至少一个膜层的端面也可以处于第二压电层40B的端面的外侧。
可选的,在图3A所示结构中,谐振器还设置有阻挡层或种子层S。在电极层30B例如为含铝的金属层的情况下,该阻挡层或种子层S可以在释放或刻蚀后续提及的用于声学镜的牺牲层时可以起到保护电极层30B的作用。但是,如前提及的,也可以不设置阻挡层或种子层S。
对于图3A中的空隙层601A,其上表面可以直接由顶电极的电极连接端的下表面限定;可选的,在另外的实施例中,虽然没有示出,在谐振器的顶电极的下侧设置有凸起结构的情况下,空隙层601的上表面可以直接由该凸起结构的下表面限定,这也在本发明的保护范围之内。
如图3A所示,在顶电极50的非电极连接端设置有悬翼结构,悬翼结构的下方设置有空隙层601A;在顶电极50的电极连接端,所述谐振器形成有桥结构,所述桥结构的下表面与第一压电层40A的上表面之间形成有另外的空隙层601B(作为示例,对应于权利要求中的第二声阻抗不匹配结构)。在如图3A所示,在顶电极的电极连接端,悬翼结构的下方的空隙层601A与桥结构下方的空隙层601B彼此相接。
如图3A所示,凸起结构101的上表面为平坦面。可选的,虽然没有示出,凸起结构101的上表面可以为阶梯面,这更有利于提高谐振器的并联阻抗Rp。
在图3A所示的结构中,因为在间隙电极的上表面沿谐振器的有效区域设置有凸起结构101,可以在降低谐振器的串联阻抗Rs的同时,进一步提升谐振器的并联阻抗,从而可以提升谐振器在串联和并联频率点处的性能,以在利用上述谐振器形成的滤波器中提升滤波器整体通带的插损表现。图4为图3A中所示结构的体声波谐振器与图2所示的体声波谐振器的并联阻抗Rp的示例性比较图,其中将图2所示的谐振器并联阻抗定义为1,则如图3A所示的谐振器的并联阻抗为1.6,这意味着图3A所示的谐振器的并联阻抗较图2的谐振器提升了60%。
如图3B所示,在本发明的一个实施例中,图3A中的双层压电层也可以为单层形式,其他结构与图3A一致,这里不再赘述。对于图3B所示的结构,因为存在凸起结构101,可以相对于图1所示的结构具有更大的并联阻抗,类似于图4,将图1所示的谐振器并联阻抗定义为1,则将图3B所示的谐振器的并联阻抗类似的为1.6,这意味着图3B所示的谐振器的并联阻抗较图1的谐振器提升了60%。
如图3A和图3B所示,在底电极的上表面沿谐振器的有效区域设置有凸起结构101的情况下,底电极上方的膜层在对应位置也相应设置有凸起,不过,如能够理解的,底电极上方的膜层中的一个或多个在对应位置也可以不设置有凸起,这也在本发明的保护范围之内。
在图3A和图3B所示的结构中,底电极的上表面沿谐振器的有效区域设置有凸起结构101,但是本发明不限于此,底电极的上表面沿谐振器的有效区域设置有凹陷结构102,如图5A所示。在图5A中,如所示的,在底电极的上表面沿谐振器的有效区域设置有凹陷结构102的情况下,底电极上方的膜层在对应位置也相应设置有凹陷,不过,如能够理解的,底电极上方的膜层中的一个或多 个在对应位置也可以不设置有凹陷,这也在本发明的保护范围之内。
图5A所示的结构与图3A所示结构,除了图5A中设置凹陷结构102以及其上的膜层也设置有凹陷不同于图3A中设置凸起结构101以及其上的膜层也设置有凸起,图5A所示的结构与图3A所示结构其他方面相同或相似,这里不再赘述。基于图5A所示的结构,通过在底电极的上表面设置凹陷结构102,可以削弱谐振器的串联谐振频率fs以下的寄生模式。
图5B为图5A中所示结构的体声波谐振器与图2所示的体声波谐振器的串联谐振点附近Q平均值归一化的示例性比较图,其中将图2所示的串联谐振点附近Q平均值定义为1,则如图5A所示的谐振器的串联谐振点附近Q平均值为1.45左右,这意味着图5A所示的谐振器的串联谐振点附近Q平均值较图2的谐振器提升了约45%。
虽然没有示出,在本发明的一个实施例中,图5A所示的结构中的双层压电层也可以为单层压电层的形式,其他结构与图5A中的一致,这里不再赘述,而且其获得的技术效果也与图5A所示结构所获得的技术效果类似,这里也不再赘述。
为了进一步增加谐振器的并联阻抗,还可以在谐振器中增加另外的凸起结构,图6中示出了这样的一个示例性结构。在图6中,谐振器在顶电极的非电极连接端和电极连接端还包括设置在顶电极50下侧的凸起结构604。除了另外设置凸起结构604之外,图6所示结构与图5A所示结构相似,这里不再赘述。
在本发明的一个实施例中,上述实施例以及方法步骤中的所述凸起结构101或凹陷结构102的外端处于空隙层601A的内端的外侧。在进一步可选的实施例中,所述凸起结构101或凹陷结构102的外端与空隙层601A或者第二压电层40B的外端在水平方向上错开或者齐平。图7为根据本发明的还一个示例性实施例的体声波谐振器的截面示意图,其中凹陷结构102的外端与空隙层601A的外端在水平方向上齐平。图8为根据本发明的又一个示例性实施例的体声波谐振器的截面示意图,其中凹陷结构102的外端与空隙层601A的外端在水平方向上错开,如图8所示,凹陷结构102的外端在水平方向处于空隙层601A的外端的外侧。图7和图8中的凹陷结构102也可以为凸起结构101。
在图3A、3B以及图5A-图6所示的实施例中,凹陷结构102的外端并未设置凸台,但是其外端也可以设置凸台41,如图7和图8所示。采用凸台41,可 以在谐振器的主谐振器区域以外形成一个叠层结构的不连续点,从而对泄露的声波反射回主谐振器区域,以进一步提升Q值。
虽然没有示出,底电极的上表面也可以同时设置有凹陷结构和凸起结构。相较于单独设置凹陷结构或凸起结构,有利于提升谐振器的并联谐振阻抗以及削弱谐振器的串联谐振频率fs以下的寄生模式。
下面参照图9A-图9K示例性说明图3A所示的谐振器的制作过程。
如图9A所示,提供基底10。
如图9B所示,在基底10上沉积用于形成底电极层30A的金属层。
如图9C所示,在图9B所示的金属层上沉积并图形化声学镜牺牲材料层而形成牺牲层21(即以声学镜为空腔为例)。
如图9D所示,在图9C所示结构的上表面沉积和图形化种子层S。
如图9E所示,在图9D所示结构的上表面沉积用于形成底电极层30B的金属层,对两个金属层图形化以形成底电极。底电极层30B和底电极层30A的材料可以相同。在进一步可选的实施例中,底电极层30B和底电极层30A的材料可以不同,可以是图9E中的底电极层30B的声阻抗高于底电极层30A的声阻抗,图9E中的底电极层30A的导电率高于底电极层30B的导电率。
如图9F所示,在图9E所示结构上,在底电极层30B的上表面的中间位置形成凹陷从而在底电极层30B的沿有效区域的边缘位置形成凸起结构101,具体的,在底电极层30B的上表面的中间部分,移除预设厚度的电极材料层以形成所述凸起结构101。虽然没有示出,对于图5A所示的结构,可以是在底电极层30B的上表面的沿有效区域的边缘位置形成凹陷结构102,具体的,在底电极层30B的上表面的沿谐振器的有效区域的部分,移除预设厚度的电极材料层以形成所述凹陷结构102。这里的移除可以采用任何适于将预设厚度的电极材料层移除的工艺,例如刻蚀或者利用粒子束轰击的修整工艺(trim)。
如图9G所示,在图9F所示结构的基础上,沉积第一压电层40A。可以看到,在底电极的凸起结构的上方也传导而形成有凸起。
如图9H所示,在图9G所示结构的基础上,在第一压电层40A的上表面沉积和图形化牺牲材料层(这里以声阻抗不匹配结构601为空腔为例,但是如能理解的,声阻抗不匹配结构可以直接是不用释放的介质层)以形成声阻抗不匹配结构牺牲层61。
如图9I所示,在图9H所示结构的基础上,沉积和图形化第二压电层40B,以形成如图9I所示的结构。
如图9J所示,在图9H所示结构的基础上依次沉积和图形化而形成顶电极50和工艺层70。
如图9K所示,释放图9J中的声学镜牺牲材料层21以形成声学镜20,释放声阻抗不匹配结构牺牲层61以形成声阻抗不匹配结构601,从而得到图3A所示的谐振器结构。
如能够理解的,图5A-图8所示结构均可以采用与上述相似的步骤制得,对于图3B所示的结构,则可以将图9G-图9I对应的步骤变更为直接形成单层压电层的步骤。
对于如上提及的在底电极的上表面同时设置有凹陷结构和凸起结构,则可以在上述图9F对应的步骤中,在图9E所示结构上,经由刻蚀工艺或修整工艺或剥离工艺等,在底电极层30B的上表面沿预期的有效区域的边缘位置形成凸起结构101和凹陷结构102。

需要指出的是,在本发明中,各个数值范围,除了明确指出不包含端点值之外,除了可以为端点值,还可以为各个数值范围的中值,这些均在本发明的保护范围之内。
在本发明中,上和下是相对于谐振器的基底的底面而言的,对于一个部件,其靠近该底面的一侧为下侧,远离该底面的一侧为上侧。
在本发明中,内和外是相对于谐振器的有效区域(压电层、顶电极、底电极和声学镜在谐振器的厚度方向上的重叠区域构成有效区域)的中心(即有效区域中心)在水平方向或者径向方向上而言的,一个部件的靠近该中心的一侧或一端为内侧或内端,而该部件的远离该中心的一侧或一端为外侧或外端。对于一个参照位置而言,位于该位置的内侧表示在水平方向或径向方向上处于该位置与该中心之间,位于该位置的外侧表示在水平方向或径向方向上比该位置更远离该中心。
