Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an acoustic wave resonator, and more particularly to a heat dissipation structure for a semiconductor device, a bulk acoustic wave resonator, a filter having the resonator, an electronic device having the filter, and a heat dissipation structure for a semiconductor device. Background Art

[0002] Thin film bulk wave resonators, made by longitudinal resonance of piezoelectric thin films in the thickness direction, have become a viable alternative to surface acoustic wave devices and quartz crystal resonators in machine communications and high-speed serial data applications. RF front-end bulk wave filters / duplexers provide superior filtering characteristics, such as low insertion loss, steep transition bands, large power handling, and strong anti-electrostatic discharge (ESD) capabilities. High-frequency thin film bulk wave oscillators with ultra-low frequency temperature drift have low phase noise, low power consumption, and a large bandwidth modulation range. In addition, these miniature thin film resonators use CMOS-compatible processing technology on silicon substrates, which can reduce unit costs and facilitate eventual integration with CMOS circuits.

[0003] The bulk wave resonator consists of an acoustic mirror and two electrodes, and a layer of piezoelectric material called a piezoelectric excitation located between the two electrodes. The bottom electrode and the top electrode are also called the excitation electrodes, and their function is to cause mechanical oscillations in the layers of the resonator. The acoustic mirror forms an acoustic isolation between the bulk wave resonator and the substrate to prevent the sound waves from being transmitted outside the resonator and causing energy loss.

[0004] Theoretically, when a BAW resonator is working, there is only mutual conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy. However, in reality, the electrical energy and sound waves in the BAW resonator are always inevitably partially converted into heat energy, and the higher the frequency of the resonator, the more significant the heating effect will become. Since the thickness of the key components of the BAW resonator, namely the piezoelectric film and electrodes, is only at the micrometer or nanometer level, the accumulation of heat in them will bring significant negative effects, such as causing the resonator temperature to rise and cause the resonator frequency to drift, or causing stress accumulation and deformation of the piezoelectric stack, thereby affecting the reliability and life of the resonator, and limiting the further improvement of the resonator's power capacity.

In the specification, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar components. The following description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings is intended to explain the overall inventive concept of the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0034] The present invention can greatly improve the heat transfer efficiency of the heat dissipation structure by constructing a contact interface between the heat dissipation structure and the acoustic part (i.e., the effective area) AR of the resonator, and constructing a microstructure (further, a dissipation structure) that can increase the heat dissipation area on the interface between the heat dissipation part (e.g., the metal layer) of the heat dissipation structure and the air and on the interface between the heat dissipation part and the substrate.

[0035] The BAW resonator according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1-9 .

[0036] Refer to the following Figure 1A and Figure 1B The overall structure of a BAW resonator is exemplified. Figure 1A and Figure 1B 1 and 2 are respectively a schematic top view and a cross-sectional view along the AA direction of a resonator with a heat dissipation structure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1B The MT region is shown in FIG. Figure 1A and 1BAs shown, the resonator generally includes a resonator part and a heat dissipation structure part.

[0037] The components of the heat dissipation structure include: a heat-conducting medium layer 105 and a heat-conducting metal layer 106. The material of the medium layer 105 may be selected from, but not limited to, aluminum nitride (AlN), beryllium oxide (BeO), silicone grease, etc. The material used for the medium layer should have good thermal conductivity and be insulating; the material of the metal layer 106 includes, but is not limited to, copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), gold (Au), etc.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the inner edge of the metal layer 106 is located outside the effective acoustic region AR and maintains a distance from the boundary of the acoustic region, and the distance is not less than 10 acoustic wavelengths.

[0039] It should be noted that the heat-conducting metal layer of the heat dissipation structure may also be replaced by a non-metallic heat-conducting material, and in the case where the heat dissipation structure is made of a non-conductive heat-conducting material, the heat-conducting medium layer may not be provided.

[0040] As shown in the figure, the heat dissipation structure has a heat extraction portion in contact with the peripheral portion of the active area AR and a heat dissipation portion in contact with the heat extraction portion. The heat extraction portion can be considered as a portion of the heat dissipation structure within the area indicated by MT.

[0041] like Figure 1BAs shown, the BAW resonator with a heat dissipation structure has three key contact areas, namely the contact area MT where the heat dissipation structure contacts the peripheral part or edge area of ​​the acoustic part (effective area) of the resonator, the contact area MS where the heat dissipation structure contacts the substrate, and the contact area MA where the heat dissipation structure contacts the air.

[0042] Based on the above, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a bulk acoustic wave resonator, comprising: a substrate; an acoustic mirror; a bottom electrode, arranged above the substrate; a top electrode, opposite to the bottom electrode; a piezoelectric layer, arranged above the bottom electrode and between the bottom electrode and the top electrode; and a heat dissipation structure, wherein: the area where the acoustic mirror, the bottom electrode, the piezoelectric layer, and the top electrode overlap in the thickness direction of the substrate is the effective area of ​​the resonator; the heat dissipation structure comprises a heat dissipation portion and a heat extraction portion connected to the heat dissipation portion, the heat extraction portion is located outside the effective area, the heat extraction portion is in thermal contact with an edge area of ​​the effective area and is suitable for conducting heat from the effective area to the heat dissipation portion.

[0043] Figure 2 FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a resonator with a heat dissipation structure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in which an MT region is shown.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the overall structure of the resonator example with a heat dissipation structure is as follows: an acoustic mirror 201 (a specific example is a cavity structure) and a metal layer structure 206 are provided on the upper surface of a substrate 200. The cavity or acoustic mirror 201 passes through the metal layer 206 and is partially embedded in the substrate 200. An insulating dielectric layer 205 is provided above the cavity, which laterally spans the entire cavity and extends to the upper surface of the metal layer 206 to maintain contact therewith. The bottom electrode 202 is located above the insulating dielectric layer 205 and maintains contact with the insulating dielectric layer 205. Laterally, the bottom electrode 202 spans the entire cavity or acoustic mirror 201, but the bottom electrode 202 falls within the range of the insulating dielectric layer 205 as a whole. The piezoelectric film 203 is located above the bottom electrode and maintains contact with the upper surface of the bottom electrode. In addition, the piezoelectric film 203 extends beyond the bottom electrode 202 in the lateral direction and maintains contact with the insulating dielectric layer 205 and a portion of the upper surface of the metal layer 206, and the piezoelectric film 203 completely covers the insulating dielectric layer 205 and the bottom electrode 202. The top electrode 204 is located above the piezoelectric film 203 and maintains contact with the upper surface of 203. At the same time, the top electrode 204 falls into the cavity 201 in the lateral direction.

[0045] The effective piezoelectric effect region (effective region) AR of the resonator is defined by the lateral overlap region of the top electrode 204, the piezoelectric film 203, the bottom electrode 202, and the cavity or acoustic mirror 201. The lower surface of the metal layer 206 is in contact with the substrate and extends laterally beyond the range of the piezoelectric film 203, and the metal layer 206 is completely outside the region AR.

[0046] Based on the above, the BAW resonator according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a first heat-conducting insulating medium layer; the heat extraction portion is arranged on the substrate, the first heat-conducting insulating medium layer is arranged between the bottom electrode and the heat extraction portion, and the bottom electrode is located above the first heat-conducting insulating medium layer, keeps contact with the first heat-conducting insulating medium layer and is spaced apart from the heat extraction portion. The first heat-conducting insulating medium layer may be made of aluminum nitride or silicone grease, for example.

[0047] In the case where no insulating dielectric layer is provided, the heat extraction portion is an insulating portion; and the heat extraction portion is provided on the substrate, and the bottom electrode is located above the heat extraction portion and keeps contact with the heat extraction portion.

[0048] Figure 3 FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a resonator with a heat dissipation structure according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in which an MT region is shown.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the overall structure of the resonator example with a heat dissipation structure is: an acoustic mirror 301 (an example is a cavity structure) is provided on the upper surface of the substrate 300, and the cavity or acoustic mirror 301 is embedded in the substrate 300. A bottom electrode 302 is provided above the cavity, and the bottom electrode 302 spans the entire cavity or acoustic mirror 301 and is partially in contact with the substrate 300. The piezoelectric film 303 is located above the bottom electrode and is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom electrode. In addition, the piezoelectric film 303 extends laterally beyond the range of the bottom electrode 302 and is partially in contact with the substrate 300. The top electrode 304 is located above the piezoelectric film 303 and is in contact with the upper surface of the piezoelectric film 303. At the same time, the top electrode 204 falls into the range of the cavity or acoustic mirror 301 laterally.

[0050] The overlapping area of ​​the top electrode 304, the piezoelectric film 303, the bottom electrode 302 and the cavity or acoustic mirror 301 in the lateral direction defines the effective piezoelectric effect area (effective area) AR of the resonator.

[0051] Part of the lower surface of the metal layer 306 remains in contact with the substrate and extends laterally beyond the range of the piezoelectric film 303, while another part of the lower surface of the metal layer 306 climbs upward along the outer inclined surface of the piezoelectric film 303 and covers the entire outer inclined surface of the piezoelectric film 303 and part of its upper horizontal surface. The metal layer 306 completely falls outside the area AR.

[0052] Based on the above, in the BAW resonator according to the embodiment of the present invention, the heat extraction portion extends to the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer and keeps contact with the piezoelectric layer while being spaced apart from the top electrode.

[0053] Figure 4FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a resonator with a heat dissipation structure according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in which an MT region is shown.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the overall structure of the resonator example with a heat dissipation structure is as follows: an acoustic mirror 401 (for example, a cavity structure) is provided on the upper surface of a substrate 400, and the acoustic mirror or cavity 401 is embedded in the substrate 400. A bottom electrode 402 is provided on the cavity, and the bottom electrode 402 spans the entire acoustic mirror or cavity 401 and is partially in contact with the substrate 400. A piezoelectric film 403 is located above the bottom electrode and is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom electrode. In addition, the piezoelectric film 403 extends beyond the range of the bottom electrode 402 in the lateral direction and is partially in contact with the substrate 400.

[0055] The overlapping area of ​​the top electrode 404, the piezoelectric film 403, the bottom electrode 402 and the acoustic mirror or cavity 401 in the lateral direction defines the effective piezoelectric effect area (effective area) AR of the resonator.

[0056] Part of the lower surface of the metal layer 406 remains in contact with the substrate and extends laterally beyond the range of the piezoelectric film 403, while another part of the lower surface of the metal layer 406 climbs upward along the outer inclined surface of the piezoelectric film 403 and covers the entire outer inclined surface of the piezoelectric film 403 and part of its upper horizontal surface. The metal layer 406 completely falls outside the area AR.

[0057] The upper surface of the metal layer 406 located at the upper plane of the piezoelectric film 403 is covered with an insulating dielectric layer 405 , and the insulating dielectric layer 405 falls outside the region AR.

[0058] The top electrode 404 is located above the piezoelectric film 403 and partially contacts the upper surface of the piezoelectric film 403. Meanwhile, the portion of the top electrode 404 contacting the piezoelectric film 403 falls into the acoustic mirror or cavity 401 in the lateral direction. Another portion of the lower surface of the top electrode contacts the insulating dielectric layer 405.

[0059] Based on the above, the BAW resonator according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a second heat-conducting insulating medium layer; the heat extraction portion extends along the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer to below the second heat-conducting insulating medium layer and maintains contact with the second heat-conducting insulating medium layer; the top electrode is located above the second heat-conducting insulating medium layer, maintains contact with the second heat-conducting insulating medium layer and is spaced apart from the heat extraction portion. Optionally, the second heat-conducting insulating medium layer is made of aluminum nitride or silicone grease.

[0060] In the absence of an insulating dielectric layer, the heat extraction portion is an insulating portion; and the heat extraction portion extends along the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer to below the top electrode, and the top electrode is located above the heat extraction portion and maintains contact with the heat extraction portion.

[0061] Please refer to the attached Figures 5A-8B The contact area MA between the heat dissipation structure and the air is described exemplarily.

[0062] Figure 5A and Figure 5B 1 and 2 are respectively a schematic top view of a resonator with a heat dissipation structure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and a local enlarged view of the MA region.

[0063] like Figure 5A As shown, the area of ​​the metal layer 506 is a circle with a radius of R500, and the range of R500 is 40-200 μm. In addition, the area of ​​the metal layer 506 can also be other geometric shapes that can enclose the acoustic part (effective area) of the resonator. The surface of the metal layer 506 in contact with the air in the MA area includes a plurality of strip-shaped protrusion structures, and the surfaces on both sides of each protrusion structure are effectively increased surface areas.

[0064] Figure 5A The enlarged view of the local area Z501 in Figure 5B As shown: the band-shaped protrusion structures are distributed at equal intervals, and the width of each band-shaped protrusion structure is the same, which is D501, and the range of D501 is 0.5-4μm. The band-shaped protrusion structures are distributed at equal intervals, and the distance between two adjacent protrusions is D502, and the range of D502 is 0.5-6μm. The height of the band-shaped protrusion is H501, and the range of H501 is 0.5-20μm.

[0065] Fig. 6A and Figure 6B 1 and 2 are respectively a schematic top view of a resonator with a heat dissipation structure according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention and a local enlarged view of the MA region.

[0066] like Fig. 6A As shown, the area of ​​the metal layer 606 is a circle with a radius of R600, and the range of R600 is 40-200μm. In addition, the area of ​​the metal layer 606 can also be other geometric shapes that can enclose the acoustic part (effective area) of the resonator. The surface of the metal layer 606 in contact with the air in the MA region includes a plurality of columnar protrusion structures, and the side surface of each protrusion structure is an effectively increased surface area. In this embodiment, the columnar structure is a regular hexagonal prism, but other shapes such as a circular cylinder, a rhombus column, a rectangular column, a triangular prism or other polygonal prisms are also feasible.

[0067] Fig. 6A The enlarged view of the local area Z601 in FIG. Figure 6BShown as follows: Each regular hexagonal prism structure has the same side length, which is D601, and the range of D601 is 0.5 - 4 μm. The regular hexagonal prism structures are equally spaced, and the distance between two adjacent regular hexagonal prisms is D602, and the range of D602 is 0.5 - 6 μm. The height of the protrusion of the regular hexagonal prism is H601, and the range of H601 is 0.5 - 20 μm.

[0068] Fig. 7A and Figure 7B are respectively a schematic top view of a resonator with a heat dissipation structure and a partial enlarged view of the MA region according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0069] As Fig. 7A shown, the region of the metal layer 706 is a circle with a radius of R700, and the range of R700 is 40 - 200 μm. In addition, the region of the metal layer 706 can also be other geometric shapes that can enclose the acoustic part (effective region) of the resonator therein. The surface of the metal layer 706 in contact with air in the MA region includes concentric annular protrusion structures, and the side surface of each annular protrusion structure is an effectively increased surface area.

[0070] Fig. 7A The enlarged view of the local region Z701 in Figure 7B is shown as follows: The width of the circular ring is D701, and the interval width or distance between two adjacent circular rings is D702. The height of the protrusion of the circular ring is H701, and the range of H701 is 0.5 - 20 μm.

[0071] In a further embodiment, the distribution of the width D701 of the circular ring and the distance D702 between the circular rings satisfies:

[0072] (1) Gradually narrowing outward along the radius of the circular ring;

[0073] (2) The distance between two adjacent circular rings satisfies a geometric progression rule, and the width ratio of the outer ring to the inner ring is a (0 < a < 1), or the distance between two adjacent circular rings satisfies an arithmetic progression rule, and the width difference between the outer ring and the inner ring is b, and the range of b is 0.1 - 0.5 μm;

[0074] Among them, the maximum value range of the width D701 of the circular ring is 2 - 20 μm, and the maximum value range of the distance D702 between the circular rings is 4 - 40 μm.

[0075] The annular protrusion structure distributed according to the above rules can form a dissipation structure, that is, the farther away from the center of the circle, the larger the contact area between the metal layer 706 and air, and the faster the heat dissipation rate. In this way, the gradient of the temperature field along the radius direction can be effectively increased, so that the heat in the resonator can be transferred to the outside faster.

[0076] Fig. 8A and Figure 8B1 and 2 are respectively a schematic top view of a resonator with a heat dissipation structure according to yet another exemplary embodiment of the present invention and a local enlarged view of the MA region.

[0077] like Fig. 8A As shown, in embodiment A800, the area of ​​metal layer 806 is a circle with a radius of R800, and the range of R800 is 40-200 μm. In addition, the area of ​​metal layer 806 can also be other geometric shapes that can enclose the acoustic part (effective area) of the resonator. The surface of metal layer 806 in contact with air in the MA region can include a dissipative cylindrical array structure, and the side surface of each cylindrical protrusion structure is an effectively increased surface area.

[0078] Fig. 8A The enlarged view of the local area Z801 in FIG. Figure 8B As shown: the height of the cylindrical protrusion is H801, and the range of H801 is 0.5-20μm. The center distance between two adjacent circles of cylindrical protrusions is D801, and the range of D801 is 10-20μm.

[0079] Furthermore, the radius of the cylinder is R801 and the number of cylinders in each circle N satisfies:

[0080] (1) R801 gradually decreases outward along the radius R800 of the metal layer, while N gradually increases along this direction;

[0081] (2) The radii of the cylinders of two adjacent circles satisfy the geometric ratio rule, and the ratio of the inner cylinder radius to the outer cylinder radius is α1;

[0082] (3) The number of cylinders in two adjacent circles satisfies the geometric ratio rule, and the ratio of the number of cylinders in the outer circle to the number of cylinders in the inner circle is α2, and α2 / α1 is greater than 1;

[0083] (4) The maximum value range of R801 is 4-30μm, and the minimum value range of N is 8-16.

[0084] Since α2 / α1 is greater than 1, the final effect is that the farther away from the center of the metal layer 806, the larger the contact area with the air. Fig. 7A and 7B Similar to the example in, Fig. 8A and Figure 8B In the embodiment of the present invention, a dissipation structure that can improve the heat dissipation efficiency is also formed, and the cylindrical protrusion structure can provide a stronger dissipation effect than the circular ring structure, so theoretically Fig. 8A and Figure 8B The heat dissipation efficiency of the embodiment is better than Fig. 7A and 7B Examples in .

[0088] As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, Figures 5A-8B The upper surface structure of the heat dissipation part or the metal layer in the example can also be applied to the MS region, that is, applied to the contact interface between the heat dissipation part or the metal layer and the substrate.

[0089] In the present invention, the electrode composition material can be gold (Au), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), titanium tungsten (TiW), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti) and other similar metals. In the present invention, the piezoelectric layer material can be aluminum nitride (AlN), zinc oxide (ZnO), lead zirconate titanate (PZT), lithium niobate (LiNbO3), quartz (Quartz), potassium niobate (KNbO3) or lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) and other materials.
