Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a resonant device and an acoustic filter. Background Art
[0002] As an important component of the wireless communication front end, RF acoustic filter devices have the functions of frequency selection and interference signal suppression. RF acoustic filter devices with better performance can not only improve the sensitivity of the transmitter and reduce the spectrum space occupied by the transmitter, but also improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the transceiver and reduce the power consumption of mobile devices in the communication link. RF acoustic filter devices are composed of resonant devices.
[0003] The existing resonant devices are mainly surface acoustic wave resonant devices (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave resonant devices (BAW). SAW resonant devices and BAW resonant devices each have technical and cost advantages in different frequency ranges. At present, in order to meet the needs of mobile broadband and high data rate wireless applications, modern communication standards are constantly developing towards higher frequencies and wider bandwidths. SAW resonant devices and BAW resonant devices in the existing technology can no longer meet the above standards.
[0004] For example, SAW resonant devices have the advantage of low cost, but the operating frequency of SAW resonant devices is low. If the operating frequency of SAW resonant devices is to be increased, the electrode width of the resonant device needs to be adjusted, so that the design of SAW resonant devices cannot take into account the power threshold, insertion loss and manufacturing cost of the device at the same time, which leads to SAW resonant devices with higher operating frequencies being either too expensive or insufficient in performance. Although BAW resonant devices have advantages in performance and high frequency, the manufacturing process of BAW resonant devices is complex, which increases the manufacturing cost of BAW resonant devices and makes it difficult to meet the needs of the consumer electronics market.

[0054] Among them, the first crystal axis X is perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the second crystal axis Y is angle A1, -30°≤A1≤10°; or, the first crystal axis X is perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the second crystal axis Y is angle A2, 170°≤A2≤210°; or, the angle between the second crystal axis Y and the direction perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is angle B1, -20°≤B1≤40°, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the first crystal axis X is angle B2, -20°≤B2≤20°.
[0055] Specifically, the material of the wafer substrate 10 may be sapphire. The wafer substrate 10 can provide support, buffering, and protection for the resonant device. Each film layer in the resonant device can be formed on the wafer substrate 10 in sequence to form a wafer-level resonant device including a plurality of resonant devices. After the wafer-level resonant device is formed, the resonant device 100 can be obtained by cutting the wafer-level resonant device.
[0056] The piezoelectric layer 20 may be composed of a plurality of piezoelectric single crystal materials arranged according to a certain rule, wherein the piezoelectric single crystal material refers to a single crystal material having a piezoelectric effect. Mechanical stress will be generated in the piezoelectric single crystal material under the action of an electric field, and corresponding deformation will occur due to the mechanical stress. In this embodiment, the material of the piezoelectric layer 20 may be at least one of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate or aluminum nitride.
[0057] The crystal structure has three-dimensional periodicity in spatial arrangement, and each type of crystal structure has a corresponding crystal axis coordinate system containing three crystal axes. Figure 4 The crystal structure of the trigonal piezoelectric single crystal material shown is used as an example for schematic illustration, but does not limit the type of crystal structure of the piezoelectric single crystal material. Figure 4 The piezoelectric single crystal material shown can be any one of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate or aluminum nitride. In the crystal structure of the piezoelectric single crystal material, each crystal axis includes a positive direction and a negative direction extending in relative directions. The positive direction of the first crystal axis X is (+X) and the negative direction is (-X), the positive direction of the second crystal axis Y is (+Y) and the negative direction is (-Y), the positive direction of the third crystal axis Z is (+Z) and the negative direction is (-Z), the third crystal axis Z can be located on the longer body diagonal of the crystal, the midpoint of the body diagonal can be the origin of the coordinates, the first crystal axis X, the second crystal axis Y and the third crystal axis Z follow the right-hand rule, the three are 90° to each other and perpendicular to each other, and a plane perpendicular to the third crystal axis Z is made to obtain the plane where the first crystal axis X and the second crystal axis Y are located.

When an electrical signal (such as a power supply voltage signal, etc.) is provided to the two groups of interdigital electrodes, the two groups of interdigital electrodes will induce an electric field parallel to the wafer substrate 10 and perpendicular to the second direction N2 in the space near the piezoelectric layer 20 and the voltage layer, that is, an electric field parallel to the wafer substrate 10 and perpendicular to the second direction N2 is generated in the entire thickness direction of the piezoelectric layer 20. In this embodiment, for the convenience of explanation, the direction of the electric field generated by the two groups of interdigital electrodes in the piezoelectric layer 20 is defined as the device direction N3.
[0059] When an electric field parallel to the wafer substrate 10 and perpendicular to the second direction N2 is generated throughout the thickness direction of the piezoelectric layer 20, the piezoelectric single crystal material undergoes corresponding deformation under the action of the electric field, thereby exciting a surface acoustic wave in the piezoelectric layer 20 that propagates parallel to the wafer substrate 10 and perpendicular to the second direction N2. If the second direction N2 (i.e., the extension direction of the interdigital electrodes) is defined as the longitudinal direction, and the direction perpendicular to the second direction N2 (i.e., perpendicular to the extension direction of the interdigital electrodes, i.e., the device direction N3) is defined as the transverse direction, the piezoelectric single crystal material is polarized by the transverse electric field in the piezoelectric layer 20, and the polarization direction of the surface acoustic wave propagating in the piezoelectric layer 20 is the longitudinal direction, i.e., a longitudinally polarized acoustic wave. Finally, the surface acoustic wave is converted into a corresponding electrical signal output, and the resonant device completes the filtering work.
[0060] Based on the above content, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the film layers of the resonant device (i.e., the wafer substrate 10, the piezoelectric layer 20, and the interdigital electrode layer 30) are combined in a specific manner, that is, the piezoelectric single crystal material of the piezoelectric layer 20 is bonded to the wafer substrate 10 in a specific bonding manner to be formed on the wafer substrate 10, and the device direction N3 of the interdigital electrode layer 30 has a specific setting mode relative to the piezoelectric single crystal material of the piezoelectric layer 20, which is described in detail below:
[0061] (i) The first crystal axis X is perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the second crystal axis Y is angle A1, -30°≤A1≤10°. In this case, the bonding method between the piezoelectric layer 20 and the wafer substrate 10 is that the first crystal axis X of the piezoelectric single crystal material is perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 (for example, the positive direction (+X) of the first crystal axis X is along the direction of the wafer substrate 10 pointing to the piezoelectric layer 20 or the negative direction (-X) of the first crystal axis X is along the direction of the wafer substrate 10 pointing to the piezoelectric layer 20), and the setting relationship between the interdigitated electrode layer 30 and the piezoelectric layer 20 is that the angle between the device direction N3 and the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material is any angle between -30° and 10° (for example, -25°, -20°, -15° or -10°, etc.). Exemplarily, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connection between the film layers of a resonant device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 In the embodiment, the first crystal axis X is perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material is angle A1, wherein angle A1 is equal to -30°; Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the combination of the film layers of another resonant device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 In the embodiment, the first crystal axis X is perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material is angle A1, wherein angle A1 is equal to 0°; Figure 7is a schematic diagram of the structure of the combination of the film layers of another resonant device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 In the embodiment, the first crystal axis X is perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material is angle A1, wherein angle A1 is equal to 10°.
[0062] (ii) The first crystal axis X is perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the second crystal axis Y is angle A2, 170°≤A2≤210°. In this case, the bonding method between the piezoelectric layer 20 and the wafer substrate 10 is that the first crystal axis X of the piezoelectric single crystal material is perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10, and the setting relationship between the interdigitated electrode layer 30 and the piezoelectric layer 20 is that the angle between the device direction N3 and the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material is any angle between 170° and 210° (for example, 180°, 190° or 210°, etc.). Exemplarily, Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the combination of the film layers of another resonant device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 In the embodiment, the first crystal axis X is perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material is angle A2, wherein angle A2 is equal to 170°.
[0063] (III) The angle between the second crystal axis Y and the direction perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is angle B1, -20°≤B1≤40°, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the first crystal axis X is angle B2, -20°≤B2≤20°. In this case, the bonding method between the piezoelectric layer 20 and the wafer substrate 10 is that the angle between the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material and the direction perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is any angle between -20° and 40° (for example, -10°, 0°, 10°, 20° or 30°, etc.), and the setting relationship between the interdigitated electrode layer 30 and the piezoelectric layer 20 is that the angle between the device direction N3 and the first crystal axis X of the piezoelectric single crystal material is any angle between -20° and -20° (for example, -10°, 0° or 10°, etc.). Exemplarily, Fig. 9 Schematic diagram of the structure of the piezoelectric layer and the wafer substrate of a resonant device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 In (a), the angle between the positive direction (+Y) of the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material and the direction L perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is angle B1, wherein angle B1 is equal to 40°, and the direction L perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is along the direction of the wafer substrate 10 pointing to the piezoelectric layer 20; Fig. 9 In (b), the angle between the positive direction (+Y) of the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material and the direction L perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is angle B1, wherein angle B1 is equal to -20°, and the direction L perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is along the direction of the wafer substrate 10 pointing to the piezoelectric layer 20; Fig. 9In (c), the angle between the positive direction (+Y) of the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material and the direction L perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is angle B1, wherein angle B1 is equal to 40°, and the direction L perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is along the piezoelectric layer 20 pointing to the direction of the wafer substrate 10; Fig. 9 In (d), the angle between the positive direction (+Y) of the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material and the direction L perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is angle B1, wherein angle B1 is equal to -20°, and the direction L perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is along the piezoelectric layer 20 pointing to the direction of the wafer substrate 10; accordingly, Fig. 9 It can be seen that in this embodiment, the piezoelectric single crystal material of the piezoelectric layer 20 can be bonded to the surface of the wafer substrate 10 in a variety of different ways; Fig.10 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the combination of the film layers of another resonant device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Fig.10 In (a), the angle between the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material and the direction perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is angle B1, where angle B1 is equal to -20°, and the angle between the device direction N3 and the first crystal axis X of the piezoelectric material is angle B2, where angle B2 is equal to -20°.
[0064] This embodiment improves the operating frequency and performance of the resonant device by combining the film layers (i.e., the wafer substrate 10, the piezoelectric layer 20, and the interdigital electrode layer 30) of the above-mentioned resonant devices. The principle is:
[0065] The wave velocity of sound waves propagating in solid materials depends on the bulk elastic modulus and density of the solid material; the larger the ratio of the bulk elastic modulus to the density, the larger the wave velocity; the ratio of the bulk elastic modulus to the density of the sapphire wafer substrate 10 is extremely high, and the bulk elastic modulus of the piezoelectric single crystal material has various anisotropies (its values are different in each lattice direction). The above-mentioned bonding methods of the sapphire wafer substrate 10 and the piezoelectric single crystal material, that is, the above-mentioned several combining methods, can utilize the maximum bulk elastic modulus of the piezoelectric single crystal material. Therefore, this embodiment greatly improves the wave velocity of the surface acoustic wave propagating in the resonant device through the above-mentioned several combining methods, especially greatly improves the wave velocity of the surface acoustic wave propagating in the wafer substrate 10 and the piezoelectric layer 20.
[0066] Since f=v / (2*Wpi), where f is the operating frequency of the resonant device, v is the wave velocity of the surface acoustic wave propagating in the resonant device, and Wpi is the spacing between the interdigitated electrodes, the present embodiment improves the operating frequency of the resonant device by increasing the wave velocity v of the surface acoustic wave propagating in the wafer substrate 10 and the piezoelectric layer 20 without changing the spacing between the interdigitated electrodes. At the same time, since the present embodiment can improve the operating frequency of the resonant device only by setting the above-mentioned combination method, without changing the spacing between the interdigitated electrodes or adjusting the electrode width of the resonant device, the low manufacturing cost of the resonant device is ensured. In addition, the piezoelectric layer 20 is bonded to the wafer substrate 10 in the above-mentioned specific directions, so that the angle formed by the placement direction of the resonant device and the main positioning edge of the wafer substrate 10 is smaller, thereby maximizing the utilization rate of the wafer substrate 10.
[0067] Since the piezoelectric single crystal material has the anisotropic characteristic, the piezoelectric layer 20 is bonded to the wafer substrate 10 in the above-mentioned specific directions to adjust the internal geometry and structure of the resonant device, which also helps to enhance the piezoelectric effect generated by the piezoelectric layer 20 and improve the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonant device, thereby enhancing the performance of the resonant device.
[0068] In summary, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention solves the technical problem that both SAW resonant devices and BAW resonant devices in the prior art cannot take into account low manufacturing cost, high operating frequency and performance of the resonant devices. While ensuring the low manufacturing cost of the resonant device, the operating frequency and performance of the resonant device are improved, which is conducive to meeting the requirements of 5G communication standards.
[0069] The following further refines the relationship between the film layers of the resonant device (i.e., the wafer substrate 10, the piezoelectric layer 20, and the interdigital electrode layer 30) by combining the above-mentioned situations:
[0070] Optionally, the first crystal axis X points from the wafer substrate 10 to the piezoelectric layer 20 , and the device direction N3 rotates counterclockwise to an angle A1 with the second crystal axis Y.
[0071] Specifically, this method is a refinement of the above situation (I), the first crystal axis X of the piezoelectric single crystal material points out of the plane of the wafer substrate 10, and the device direction N3 can be rotated in the counterclockwise direction to an angle between -30° and 10° with the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material. For example, reference can be made to Figure 7 In the figure, the first crystal axis X of the piezoelectric single crystal material points out of the plane of the wafer substrate 10, and the device direction N3 rotates counterclockwise to an angle A1 with the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material, wherein the angle A1 is equal to 10°.
[0072] Optionally, the first crystal axis X points from the wafer substrate 10 to the piezoelectric layer 20 , and the device direction N3 rotates in a clockwise direction to an angle A2 with the second crystal axis Y.
[0073] Specifically, this method is a refinement of the above situation (two), the first crystal axis X of the piezoelectric single crystal material points out of the plane of the wafer substrate 10, and the device direction N3 can be rotated in a clockwise direction to any angle between 170° and 210° with the second crystal axis Y of the piezoelectric single crystal material.
[0074] Optionally, the first crystal axis X points from the piezoelectric layer 20 to the wafer substrate 10 , and the device direction N3 rotates in a clockwise direction to an angle A1 with the second crystal axis Y.

[0082] The piezoelectric layer 20 will generate mechanical stress and undergo corresponding deformation under the action of the electric field applied by the interdigitated electrode layer 30, thereby exciting surface acoustic waves propagating along the device direction N3 in the piezoelectric layer 20. Considering that the piezoelectric single crystal material in the piezoelectric layer 20 has the characteristic of anisotropy, this embodiment adjusts the relative position relationship between the direction of the interdigitated electrodes and the wafer substrate 10 by setting the angle between the device direction N3 and the first direction N1 to be greater than or equal to -30° or less than or equal to 30°, and further utilizes the maximum bulk elastic modulus of the piezoelectric single crystal material to enhance the piezoelectric effect generated by the piezoelectric layer 20 and improve the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonant device, thereby enhancing the performance of the resonant device and increasing the operating frequency of the resonant device.
[0083] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The interdigitated electrode layer 30 includes a plurality of first interdigitated electrodes 310 and a plurality of second interdigitated electrodes 320; the plurality of first interdigitated electrodes 310 are all connected to a bus bar 311 located on a first side of the interdigitated electrode layer, and the first interdigitated electrodes 310 are all extended from the first side of the interdigitated electrode layer along a second direction N2 to the second side of the interdigitated electrode layer, and the first side is opposite to the second side; the plurality of second interdigitated electrodes 320 are all connected to a bus bar 321 located on the second side of the interdigitated electrode layer, and the second interdigitated electrodes 320 are all extended from the second side along the second direction N2 to the first side; the vertical projections of the first interdigitated electrodes 310 and the second interdigitated electrodes 320 on the piezoelectric layer 20 are alternating, and the first interdigitated electrodes 310 and the second interdigitated electrodes 320 are insulated from each other.

Each first interdigital electrode 310 is connected to a common electrode, i.e., a bus bar 311; each second interdigital electrode 320 is connected to a common electrode, i.e., a bus bar 321. The widths of the first interdigital electrodes 310 may be the same or different, and the widths of the second interdigital electrodes 320 may also be the same or different. When the resonant device 100 is working, the first interdigitated electrode 310 inputs the power signal Vin through the bus bar 311, and the second interdigitated electrode 320 inputs the ground signal GND through the bus bar 321, so that the interdigitated electrode layer 30 can apply an electric field in a direction perpendicular to the first interdigitated electrode 310 and the second interdigitated electrode 320 in the piezoelectric layer 20, that is, the electric field in the device direction N3, so that the electric field in the device direction N3 is generated throughout the thickness direction of the piezoelectric layer 20, thereby exciting the surface acoustic wave propagating along the device direction N3, that is, the longitudinally polarized acoustic wave, and converting the surface acoustic wave into a corresponding electrical signal output to achieve filtering.

The material of the first dummy interdigital electrode 312 and the second dummy interdigital electrode 322 can be the same as the material of the first dummy interdigital electrode 310 and the second dummy interdigital electrode 320. In this embodiment, by setting the first dummy interdigital electrode 312 and the second dummy interdigital electrode 322, a virtual short heel finger disconnected from the interdigital electrode is formed (for example, the first dummy interdigital electrode 312 forms a virtual short heel finger disconnected from the corresponding second interdigital electrode 320, and the second dummy interdigital electrode 322 forms a virtual short heel finger disconnected from the corresponding first interdigital electrode 310) so that the surface acoustic wave excited by the resonant device is reflected when it propagates to the first dummy interdigital electrode 312 and the second dummy interdigital electrode 322, thereby limiting the surface acoustic wave to the interior of the resonant device along the second direction N2, thereby improving the energy reflectivity of the resonant device and suppressing unnecessary stray responses.

Figure 2 , Fig.13 and Fig.14Optionally, the resonant device 100 further includes an acoustic reflection grating 330, which is located on a side of the piezoelectric layer 20 away from the wafer substrate 10, and the acoustic reflection grating 330 is arranged on both sides of the interdigitated electrode layer 30 along the second direction N2 and is insulated from the interdigitated electrode layer 30; each acoustic reflection grating 330 includes a plurality of metal strips 331 extending along the second direction N2, and a width Wr of the metal strips 331 in the third direction (that is, the device direction N3) is greater than a width We of the first interdigitated electrode 310 and the second interdigitated electrode 320 in the third direction (that is, the device direction N3). 0.2 times, and less than 10 times the width We of the first interdigitated electrode 310 and the second interdigitated electrode 320 in the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3); wherein the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3) is parallel to the wafer substrate 10 and perpendicular to the second direction N2; the spacing Wg between the interdigitated electrode layer 30 and the adjacent metal strip 331 is greater than 0.2 times the width We of the first interdigitated electrode 310 and the second interdigitated electrode 320 in the third direction N3, and less than 10 times the width We of the first interdigitated electrode 310 and the second interdigitated electrode 320 in the third direction N3.
[0087] Specifically, the material of the acoustic reflection grating 330 may be the same as or different from the material of the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320. The two ends of the metal strip 331 in the acoustic reflection grating 330 are respectively connected to the bus, that is, the bus 332 and the bus 333. The bus bar connecting the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 may be connected to the bus connected to the metal strip 331 in the acoustic reflection grating 330, or may not be connected. Figure 2 and Fig.13 Both show the situation that the busbars connecting the interdigital electrodes are not connected to the busbars connected to the metal strips in the acoustic reflection grid. In this embodiment, by arranging the acoustic reflection grid 330 on both sides of the interdigital electrode layer, it is possible to reduce the surface acoustic waves propagating to the outside of the acoustic reflection grid 330 on both sides of the resonant device based on the diffraction principle of acoustic waves, which helps to limit the surface acoustic waves to the inside of the resonant device along the third direction N3, thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency between the electrical energy and the mechanical energy of the resonant device.
[0088] The spacing Wg between the interdigital electrode layer 30 and the adjacent metal strip 331 refers to the spacing between the metal strip 331 closest to the interdigital electrode in the acoustic reflection grid and the first interdigital electrode 310 or the second interdigital electrode 320 closest to the acoustic reflection grid in the interdigital electrode layer. Fig.14The schematic diagram shows the case where the widths of the first interdigitated electrode 310 and the second interdigitated electrode 320 in the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3) are both We. In this embodiment, by setting the width of the metal strip 331 in the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3) to 0.25We<Wr<10We, and the spacing between the interdigitated electrode layer 30 and the adjacent metal strip 331 to 0.2We<Wg<10We, it helps to weaken the diffraction of sound waves generated by the resonant device through the sound reflection grating, thereby further reducing the surface acoustic waves propagating from the resonant device to the outside of the sound reflection grating 330 on both sides, helping to confine the surface acoustic waves to the inside of the resonant device along the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3), thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency between electrical energy and mechanical energy of the resonant device.

[0090] Combination Fig.13 and Fig.14 Optionally, the total number of the first interdigital electrodes 310 and the second interdigital electrodes 320 is set to be greater than 50, so as to adjust the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonant device by adjusting the number of interdigital electrodes, thereby enhancing the performance of the resonant device and increasing the operating frequency of the resonant device. Optionally, the total number of the metal strips 331 in the acoustic reflection grid 330 is set to be greater than 50, so as to reduce the surface acoustic waves propagating from the resonant device to the outside of the acoustic reflection grid 330 on both sides, which helps to limit the surface acoustic waves to the inside of the resonant device along the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3), thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency between electrical energy and mechanical energy of the resonant device.
[0091] Combination Fig.13 and Fig.14 Optionally, the overlapping length of the first interdigitated electrode 310 and the second interdigitated electrode 320 along the second direction N2 is set to 15μm<La<200μm, and the distance between the second interdigitated electrode 320 and the bus bar 311 (that is, the distance between the first interdigitated electrode 310 and the bus bar 321) is set to 250μm<Lg<5μm, so as to adjust the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonant device, thereby enhancing the performance of the resonant device and increasing the operating frequency of the resonant device.

Since f=v / (2*Wpi), where f is the operating frequency of the resonant device, and v is the wave velocity of the surface acoustic wave propagation in the resonant device, therefore, when the wave velocity remains unchanged, the smaller the spacing Wpi between the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320, the higher the operating frequency of the resonant device. In this embodiment, the spacing between the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 is set to increase the operating frequency of the resonant device.
[0093] Combination Fig.13 and Fig.14 Optionally, the thickness of the first interdigitated electrode 310 and the second interdigitated electrode 320 in the direction perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is 50nm<Te<200nm, the thickness of the passivation layer 50 between the surface of the piezoelectric layer 20 away from the wafer substrate 10 and the surface of the passivation layer 50 close to the piezoelectric layer 20 is 100nm<Tp1<600nm, and the thickness of the piezoelectric layer 20 in the direction perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is 300nm<Tp2<1μm, so as to adjust the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonant device by adjusting the thickness of the interdigitated electrode, the thickness of the passivation layer and the thickness of the piezoelectric layer, thereby enhancing the performance of the resonant device and increasing the operating frequency of the resonant device.

In this embodiment, the passivation layer 50 is provided to cover the interdigital electrode layer 30 to isolate the humidity and oxidation in the environment, thereby protecting the interdigital electrode layer 30. When the passivation layer 50 is formed on the side of the interdigital electrode layer 30 away from the wafer substrate 10, the upper surface of the passivation layer 50 away from the wafer substrate 10 can be formed into a plane, or the undulation of the upper surface of the passivation layer 50 can be consistent with the morphology of the upper surface of the interdigital electrode layer.
