Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of semiconductors, and in particular to a bulk acoustic wave resonator, a filter, and an electronic device having one of the above components. Background Art

[0002] BAW filters offer advantages such as low insertion loss, high squareness, and high power handling. Therefore, they are widely used in modern wireless communication systems and are crucial components for determining the quality of RF signals entering and exiting the communication system. The performance of a BAW filter is determined by the BAW resonator (BAW) that constitutes it. For example, the resonant frequency of the BAW resonator determines the filter's operating frequency, the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient determines the filter's bandwidth, and the quality factor determines the filter's insertion loss. Given a given filter structure, its quality factor, particularly at the series and parallel resonant frequencies (or series-parallel impedance), significantly impacts the passband insertion loss. Therefore, improving the resonator's quality factor is a key issue in high-performance filter design. The quality factor (Qs) or series impedance (Rs) at the BAW resonator's series resonant frequency is typically determined by electrode losses and material losses, while the quality factor (Qp) or parallel impedance (Rp) at the BAW resonator's parallel resonant frequency is typically affected by boundary acoustic wave leakage. Therefore, when the resonator material and stacking structure are determined, there is limited room for improving Qs (or Rs), but the boundary leakage of the sound wave can be effectively improved by changing the boundary structure of the resonator, thereby significantly improving the Qp (or Rp) of the resonator.

[0003] The cross-sectional structure diagram of the composite insertion type thin film bulk acoustic resonator is as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure. On the one hand, the insertion layer set in the piezoelectric layer is located at the position where the stress of the resonator piston mode is the largest, so the impedance mismatch generated has a stronger sound wave reflection effect. On the other hand, because the insertion layer set in the piezoelectric layer can extend into the inactive area, the boundary impedance mismatch characteristics between the active area and the inactive area are enhanced, thereby reflecting more waves back to the effective resonance area, which is manifested in an improved Rp in terms of electrical performance.

[0004] However, as the operating temperature changes, Figure 1 The resonant frequency of the resonator shown will drift, and this temperature drift phenomenon limits the practical application of the composite insertion resonator. Summary of the Invention

A passivation layer can be coated on the top electrode. The passivation layer includes but is not limited to SiO2, Si3N4, ALN, etc.

[0058] 60, 61: first ring-shaped insertion layer. The insertion layer 60 has a first end (inner end, in the present invention, for all components, the side close to the center of the active area in the radial direction or the transverse direction is the inner side) and a second end: the first end of the insertion layer 60 is located inside the active area, and the distance between the first end of the insertion layer 60 and the first end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 70 is d11, which is in the range of 0-10 μm; the second end of the insertion layer 60 should exceed the first end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 70 and can further extend outward. The insertion layer 61 has a first end and a second end: the first end of the insertion layer 61 is located inside the active area, and the distance between the first end of the insertion layer 61 and the first end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 70 is d17, which is in the range of 0-10 μm; the second end of the insertion layer 61 should exceed the first end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 70 and can further extend outward.

The height of the first ring-shaped insertion layer is in the range of The material of the first ring-shaped insertion layer can be metal, and the material of the metal is the same as the first bottom electrode 30.

[0059] 70, 71: second ring-shaped insertion layer. The second ring-shaped insertion layer 70 has a first end and a second end: the first end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 70 is located inside the active area, and the distance between the first end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 70 and the first end of the top electrode is d12, which is in the range of 0-10 μm; the second end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 70 should exceed the edge of the top electrode and can further extend outward. In the present embodiment, the second end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 70 extends to the outside of the edge of the acoustic mirror. The second ring-shaped insertion layer 71 has a first end and a second end: the first end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 71 is located inside the active area, and the distance between the first end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 71 and the edge of the acoustic mirror is d18, which is in the range of 0-10 μm; the second end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 71 preferably exceeds the edge of the bottom electrode and can further extend outward. In the present embodiment, the second end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 71 extends outward until exceeding the edge of the bottom electrode, and the distance between the second end of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 71 and the bottom electrode is d20, which is in the range of 0-20 μm. The height of the second ring-shaped insertion layer 71 is in the range of The material of the second annular insertion layer 71 can be dielectric or air. The dielectric material can be one or more of or a combination of SiO2, Si3N4, SiC, AlN, doped ALN, Al2O3, porous silicon, fluorinated amorphous carbon, fluoropolymers, parylene, polyarylether, hydrogensilsesquioxane, crosslinked polystyrene polymers, biphenyl cyclobutene, fluorinated silicon dioxide, carbon-doped oxide, and diamond, or air. The first annular insertion layer and the second annular insertion layer together form a composite annular insertion layer. The horizontal center of the composite annular insertion layer is located between 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 of the thickness direction of the entire piezoelectric material, for example, see Figure 20 When the first annular insertion layer is dielectric or air, the second annular insertion layer can be metal; or when the first annular insertion layer is metal, the second annular insertion layer can be dielectric or air; or both are metal; or both are dielectric or air.

[0060] 80: temperature compensation layer. In Figure 3 , the temperature compensation layer is disposed above the first bottom electrode in the thickness direction and between the composite insertion layers in the lateral direction, as shown in the area L1. The material of the temperature compensation layer is a material opposite to the frequency-temperature coefficient of the piezoelectric layer, including but not limited to SiO2, doped SiO2, etc.

[0061] The temperature compensation layer structure can only set the temperature compensation layer, or can be other structures. For example, as Figure 10 shown, a cutoff layer 95 can be disposed below the temperature compensation layer 80, which ensures the protection of the bottom electrode during the process of making the temperature compensation layer 80, and can further improve the temperature compensation effect. The material of the cutoff layer can be ALN, Si3N4, etc. A passivation layer 96 can be disposed above the temperature compensation layer 80, which can ensure the growth quality of the second bottom electrode and the piezoelectric layer, and can further improve the temperature compensation effect. The material of the passivation layer can be ALN, Si3N4, etc.

[0062] In Figure 3In the embodiment shown, on the one hand, the composite annular insertion layer provided in the piezoelectric layer is located at the position where the stress of the resonator piston mode is the largest, so the resulting impedance mismatch has a stronger sound wave reflection effect. On the other hand, since the insertion layer provided in the piezoelectric layer can extend into the ineffective area, the boundary impedance mismatch characteristics between the effective area and the ineffective area are enhanced, thereby reflecting more sound waves back to the effective resonance area, which is manifested in an improved Rp in terms of electrical performance. However, the resonant frequency of the device containing the composite annular insertion layer will drift with temperature changes. Since the frequency temperature coefficient of the temperature compensation layer is opposite to that of the piezoelectric material, it can be used to adjust the temperature drift characteristics of the composite annular insertion type device. The frequency temperature characteristics of the entire device can be adjusted by designing the thickness of the temperature compensation layer. When designing the thickness of the temperature compensation layer, two factors need to be considered: one is the mass load effect of the temperature compensation layer, and the other is the temperature compensation effect of the temperature compensation layer. These two factors affect each other. When the temperature compensation layer is introduced, it is equivalent to introducing a mass load layer, which reduces the original resonant frequency. Therefore, the thickness of the piezoelectric layer and the electrode layer needs to be appropriately thinned so that the frequency rises to the target value. At the same time, the ratio of the thickness of the piezoelectric layer and the electrode layer to the thickness of the temperature compensation layer will affect the frequency temperature coefficient of the final device.

[0063] Figure 4 According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 Schematic cross-sectional view taken along the AOA line in FIG. Figure 4 The embodiment shown and Figure 3 The embodiments shown are similar, and the same reference numerals indicate the same parts. Figure 4 and Figure 3 The difference is: Figure 4 In the horizontal direction, the temperature compensation layer 80 is located between the single insertion layers, such as the area shown by L2. More specifically, Figure 4 In the figure, the temperature compensating layer is located between the insertion layers 70 and 71 in the lateral direction, and in the top view of the resonator, both ends of the temperature compensating layer overlap with the insertion layers 60 and 61.

[0064] Figure 5 According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 Schematic cross-sectional view taken along the AOA line in FIG. Figure 5 The embodiment shown and Figure 3 The embodiments shown are similar, and the same reference numerals indicate the same parts. Figure 5 and Figure 3 The difference is: Figure 5 In the horizontal direction, the position of the temperature compensation layer 80 is shown in the area L3. More specifically, Figure 5 In the top view of the resonator, both ends of the temperature compensation layer overlap with the insertion layers 60 and 61 as well as the insertion layers 70 and 71 .

[0065] It should be specially pointed out that the positional relationship between the temperature compensation layer and the composite insertion layer in the transverse direction or horizontal direction is not limited to Figures 3-5 the above, and other ways are also possible, as long as at least a part of the temperature compensation layer is located within the effective area in the top view of the resonator, and are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0066] Figures 6-8 are schematic cross-sectional views taken along the A-O-A line in Figure 2 , in which the temperature compensation layer 80 and the composite insertion layer are shown, and the different positions of the temperature compensation layer 80 in the thickness direction of the resonator are shown.

[0067] Figure 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the A-O-A line in Figure 2 , according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 the embodiment shown in Figure 3 is similar to the embodiment shown in Figure 6 , like reference numerals indicate like parts, Figure 3 and the difference is that in Figure 6 , the temperature compensation layer 80 is located between the first piezoelectric layer 40 and the second piezoelectric layer 43. At this time, the temperature compensation layer 80 can be a single temperature compensation layer, or a lower cutoff layer and an upper passivation layer can be added as shown in Figure 10 , but these two structures, although they can improve the temperature drift characteristics of the resonator, will also form an additional capacitance in the resonator, ultimately affecting the electrical performance of the device. Further, as shown in Figure 11 , a metal layer 90 can be provided below the cutoff layer 95, and a metal layer 91 can be provided above the passivation layer 96, at this time, the upper and lower metal layers added outside the temperature compensation layer form a sealed metal wall, the potential of this metal wall is 0, which does not affect the electrical performance of the resonator, and can further improve the temperature drift characteristics of the composite insertion resonator.

[0068] In Figure 6 , as can be understood by those skilled in the art, the temperature compensation layer 80 can also be between the second piezoelectric layers.

[0069] Figure 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the A-O-A line in Figure 2 , according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 the embodiment shown in Figure 3 is similar to the embodiment shown in Figure 7 , like reference numerals indicate like parts, Figure 3 and the difference is that in Figure 7 , the temperature compensation layer is located above the first piezoelectric layer 40 in the thickness direction.

Figure 8 The embodiment shown and Figure 3 The embodiments shown are similar, and the same reference numerals indicate the same parts. Figure 8 and Figure 3 The difference is: Figure 8 In the embodiment, the temperature compensation layer is located at the top electrode 50 in the thickness direction. In this case, the temperature compensation layer can be a separate temperature compensation layer, or a cutoff layer can be added under the temperature compensation layer without adding a passivation layer above the temperature compensation layer. Figure 12 shown.

Figure 17 In the embodiment, the temperature compensation layer 180 is provided in the bottom electrode. Figure 17 The structure and Figure 3 The structure is similar to that of Figure 17 In, with Figure 3 Differently, the first end of the second insertion layer is closer to the center of the resonator than the first end of the first insertion layer.
