Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the intermediate frequency reactive sputtering technology, there is a phenomenon that the crystal grains on the film surface grow abnormally, and some micron-submicron-sized aluminum nitride large particles will appear on the film surface, and the uneven grain size will affect the aluminum nitride film. Piezoelectric performance and acoustic wave propagation velocity, and large micron-submicron particles on the surface will have disastrous consequences for the subsequent manufacture of SAW devices, causing the interdigitated electrode (IDT) of SAW devices to break or short circuit, resulting in device performance failure
