[0073] In the communication of 4G and before, the main radio frequency filter is BAW filter, that is, bulk acoustic wave filter. The existing ordinary bulk acoustic wave filter has a lower application frequency band. The bulk acoustic wave filter applicable to a high frequency band has a complex manufacturing process and a high cost.
[0074] In view of this, the present application provides an integrated chip and a preparation method thereof. Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a specific embodiment of the integrated chip; Figures 4 to 7 The present application provides a specific embodiment of the preparation method of the integrated chip.
[0075] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The integrated chip 100 includes a device wafer 1, a bulk acoustic wave resonator 2, and a resonant circuit unit 3. The bulk acoustic wave resonator 2 is arranged on one side surface of the device wafer 1. The resonant circuit unit 3 is arranged on one side surface of the device wafer 1 in parallel with the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2, or the resonant circuit unit 3 is arranged on the side of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2 away from the device wafer 1. The bulk acoustic wave resonator 2 and the resonant circuit unit 3 are electrically connected.
[0076] In the technical scheme of the present application, a device wafer 1 is provided, a bulk acoustic resonator 2 is arranged on one side surface of the device wafer 1, and a resonant circuit unit 3 is arranged on the one side surface of the device wafer 1 in parallel with the bulk acoustic resonator 2 or is arranged on the side of the bulk acoustic resonator 2 away from the device wafer 1; that is, the resonant circuit unit 3 and the bulk acoustic resonator 2 are integrated on the same chip, so as to improve the integration of the device, increase the communication bandwidth, improve the system efficiency, and reduce the chip area and cost.
[0077] Specifically, further referring to Figure 1 A cavity 11 with an opening is formed on the one side surface of the device wafer 1; the bulk acoustic resonator 2 comprises a lower electrode layer 21, a piezoelectric layer 22 and an upper electrode layer 23, the lower electrode layer 21 is arranged on the opening, and the lower electrode layer 21 is provided with a signal output part 5; the piezoelectric layer 22 is formed on the side of the lower electrode layer 21 away from the device wafer 1; the upper electrode layer 23 is formed on the side of the piezoelectric layer 22 away from the lower electrode layer 21, and the upper electrode layer 23 is provided with a signal input part 4; wherein the signal input part 4 or the signal output part 5 is electrically connected with the resonant circuit unit 3; it should be noted that the basic structure of the bulk acoustic resonator 2 is a sandwich structure, in which the piezoelectric thin film is arranged between the upper and lower metal electrodes; the acoustic wave oscillates in the piezoelectric thin film to form a standing wave. In order to keep the acoustic wave oscillating in the piezoelectric thin film, sufficient isolation between the oscillation structure and the external environment is required to obtain minimum loss and maximum quality factor (Q value). For example, in a thin film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR), cavities are arranged on the two sides away from the upper and lower electrode layers 21 to form a suspended thin film and a cavity. Since the acoustic impedance of air is much lower than that of the piezoelectric layer 22, most of the acoustic waves will be reflected back to make the acoustic wave oscillate in the piezoelectric thin film, thereby improving the working efficiency of the bulk acoustic resonator 2.
[0078] It should be noted that the material of the device wafer 1 can be selected from insulating silicon (such as SOI), silicon carbide, sapphire, glass and the like, so as to have good insulation performance; at the same time, in order to adapt to the existing filter, the size of the device wafer 1 is generally set to 2-6 inches; when the material of the device wafer 1 is silicon (including insulating silicon), the size of the device wafer 1 can be set to 4-12 inches, so as to be suitable for more specifications of filters.
[0079] The material of the piezoelectric layer 22 is not limited, and can be selected from one of zinc oxide, lead zirconate titanate (PZT), gallium nitride, lithium tantalate, and lithium niobate. In this embodiment, the piezoelectric layer 22 is an aluminum nitride film, which is used as the piezoelectric layer 22 to improve the piezoelectric coefficient of the piezoelectric layer 22, thereby improving the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2, and further improving the performance of the filter.
[0080] Specifically, in the first embodiment, one side surface of the device wafer 1 has a plurality of layout areas arranged side by side and spaced apart; the resonant circuit unit 3 includes an inductor 31, a capacitor 32, and a resistor 33 electrically connected to each other, and the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2, the inductor 31, the capacitor 32, and the resistor 33 are sequentially arranged on the plurality of layout areas; the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2 is electrically connected to at least one of the inductor 31, the capacitor 32, and the resistor 33; sequentially arranging the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2, the inductor 31, the capacitor 32, and the resistor 33 on the plurality of layout areas not only realizes the integration of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2 and the resonant circuit unit 3, but also makes the manufacturing of the integrated chip 100 simpler.
[0081] For further reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the second and third embodiments, the integrated chip 100 further includes a cap wafer 6, which is arranged on the side of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2 away from the device wafer 1 to form an upper cavity with the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1, and the cap wafer 6 is provided with a conductive through hole in the thickness direction thereof; wherein the resonant circuit unit 3 is arranged on the side of the cap wafer 6 away from the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2, and is electrically connected to the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2 through the conductive through hole; it should be noted that when manufacturing the integrated chip 100, if all the components are arranged on the same plane, the area of the integrated chip 100 is approximately the sum of the areas of the components. In a complex circuit, ten or even dozens of components may be used, so the area of the integrated chip 100 becomes very large, resulting in an increase in product cost; by adding the cap wafer 6 on the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2 and arranging the resonant circuit unit 3 on the side of the cap wafer 6 away from the device wafer 1, not only the integration of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2 and the resonant circuit unit 3 is realized, but also the area of the integrated chip 100 is greatly reduced, which not only simplifies the manufacturing process, but also reduces the production cost.
[0082] It should be noted that in the second embodiment and the third embodiment, the device wafer 1 has a cavity 11 with an opening formed on one side surface thereof, the bulk acoustic resonator 2 includes a lower electrode layer 21, a piezoelectric layer 22, and an upper electrode layer 23; the lower electrode layer 21 covers the opening, the piezoelectric layer 22 is formed on the one side surface of the device wafer 1 and covers the lower electrode layer 21, the upper electrode layer 23 is formed on the side of the piezoelectric layer 22 away from the lower electrode layer 21, and the upper electrode layer 23 is arranged corresponding to the position where the opening is located and extends towards the side of the piezoelectric layer 22; the signal input part 4 of the bulk acoustic resonator 2 is connected to the upper electrode layer 23 and the piezoelectric layer 22, and the signal output part 5 of the bulk acoustic resonator 2 is connected to the lower electrode layer 21 and the piezoelectric layer 22; wherein the signal input part 4 or the signal output part 5 is electrically connected to the resonant circuit unit 3, so as to realize the formation of the bulk acoustic resonator 2.
[0083] In the second embodiment, the resonant circuit unit 3 includes a first dielectric layer 37 and a component group; the first dielectric layer 37 is formed on the side surface of the cap wafer 6 away from the bulk acoustic resonator 2; the component group is formed on the first dielectric layer 37, and the component group includes an inductor 31, a capacitor 32, and a resistor 33 arranged side by side and spaced apart and electrically connected to each other; wherein the bulk acoustic resonator 2 is electrically connected to at least one of the inductor 31, the capacitor 32, and the resistor 33; by arranging the inductor 31, the capacitor 32, and the resistor 33 side by side and spaced apart on the first dielectric layer 37, the structure of the resonant circuit unit 3 is simple and easy to manufacture.
[0084] Specifically, in the present embodiment, an intermetallic dielectric layer 39 is formed on the first dielectric layer 37, and an inductor metal line, a capacitor metal line, and a resistor metal line are respectively formed on the intermetallic dielectric layer 39 to respectively form the inductor 31, the capacitor 32, and the resistor 33.
[0085] In the third embodiment, the resonant circuit unit 3 includes a second dielectric layer 38 and a component layer group; the second dielectric layer 38 is formed on the surface of the cap wafer 6 facing away from the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2; the component layer group includes an inductor layer 34, a capacitor layer 35, and a resistor layer 36 stacked sequentially, and the inductor layer 34, the capacitor layer 35, and the resistor layer 36 are electrically connected to each other; wherein, the bulk acoustic wave resonator 2 is electrically connected to at least one of the inductor layer 34, the capacitor layer 35, and the resistor layer 36; it should be noted that, due to the resonant circuit unit 3... The area occupied by circuit unit 3 is greater than the sum of the areas occupied by capacitor 32, resistor 33 and inductor 31. Therefore, arranging capacitor 32, resistor 33 and inductor 31 side by side will increase the area occupied by resonant circuit unit 3, thereby increasing the area of integrated chip 100 and thus increasing product cost. By setting capacitor 32, resistor 33 and inductor 31 as an inductor layer 34, capacitor layer 35 and resistor layer 36 stacked in sequence, the area of integrated chip 100 can be further reduced and production cost can be reduced.
