Abstract

The invention provides a surface acoustic wave filter with a discontinuous substrate structure. The surface acoustic wave filter comprises the following structures: 1) a substrate layer 1; 2) a piezoelectric film layer 2 arranged on the substrate layer, and an acoustic impedance discontinuous layer 3 contained in the piezoelectric film layer 2; and 3) an interdigital transducer 4 arranged on the piezoelectric film layer. Through the surface acoustic wave filter of the invention, the acoustic impedance condition can be changed or periodic design can be carried out on the propagation path of the surface acoustic wave device (SAW), and the propagation characteristic of the surface acoustic wave is modulated, so that the improvement of the performance indexes such as the quality factor (Q value), the bandwidth and the insertion loss of the surface acoustic wave filter is finally realized. Compared with a traditional single crystal material, the piezoelectric film is adopted, the price is lower, and a gap space with discontinuous acoustic impedance can be easily prepared no matter a stripping process or an etching process is adopted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor material and device preparation, in particular to a surface acoustic wave filter with a discontinuous base structure and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Surface acoustic wave (SAW) is an elastic wave that propagates along the surface of an elastic solid or medium. Surface acoustic wave filter is a frequency selective device made of the piezoelectric effect and the physical characteristics of surface acoustic wave propagation. SAW filters have flexible design, analog / digital compatibility, small in-band attenuation, good anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance, small size, light weight and high reliability. These characteristics make SAW filters widely used in base stations, navigation, mobile communications, etc. fields are widely used. [0003] The surface acoustic wave filter converts the input electrical signal into an acoustic signal through the ...
