Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of acoustic wave surface device, and particularly relates to a composite structure of an acoustic surface wave device substrate and a preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The acoustic surface wave device is widely applied to the preparation of a radio frequency filter. The piezoelectric substrate required by the acoustic surface wave device is usually selected as a high-resistance silicon material as a support substrate. However, with the increase of the frequency, a conductive layer is induced at the interface between the high-resistance silicon and the upper insulating layer, which leads to the decrease of the effective resistivity of the substrate. By preparing a polycrystalline silicon layer, the movement of the carriers at the interface is limited by the carrier traps in the polycrystalline silicon layer, which can effectively prevent the decrease of the resistivity of the substrate in the radio frequency application. By preparing a thin layer with a greater carrier trap density in the polycrystalline silicon, more sufficient carrier traps can be provided.
[0003] However, the grown polycrystalline silicon usually has a relatively rough surface, which is easy to affect the subsequent photolithography process. The scattering and reflection of the light of the photolithography through the rough surface will lead to the blur of the exposure pattern, cause the proximity effect, and finally lead to the decrease of the photolithography resolution and further lead to the decrease of the performance of the prepared device.
