Abstract
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 having the resonator, and an electronic device having the resonator or the filter. Background Art
[0002] Electronic components, as fundamental elements of electronic devices, have been widely used in mobile phones, automobiles, and household appliances. Furthermore, technologies poised to revolutionize the world, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and 5G communications, still rely on electronic components as their foundation.
[0003] Electronic devices exhibit distinct characteristics and advantages depending on their operating principles. Devices utilizing the piezoelectric effect (or inverse piezoelectric effect) are a crucial category among all electronic devices, and they have a wide range of applications. Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR), also known as bulk acoustic wave resonator (BAW), as a key member of the piezoelectric device family, is playing a vital role in the communications field. FBAR filters, in particular, are gaining a growing market share in the RF filter field. FBARs offer excellent properties such as small size, high resonant frequency, high quality factor, high power handling, and excellent roll-off. They are gradually replacing traditional surface acoustic wave (SAW) and ceramic filters, playing a significant role in wireless communications and RF applications. Their high sensitivity also has applications in sensing fields such as biology, physics, and medicine.
[0004] The cross-sectional diagram of a conventional thin film bulk acoustic resonator is shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 As shown, in Figure 1 For example, the bottom electrode 30 and the top electrode 50 are made of molybdenum, and the piezoelectric layer 40 is made of aluminum nitride. The thicknesses of the bottom electrode 30 and the top electrode 50 are equal, t, and the thickness of the piezoelectric layer 40 is d. The thickness ratio t / d of the single-layer electrode to the piezoelectric layer will affect the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator, and thus the bandwidth of the resonator (the larger the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient, the larger the bandwidth). In the design of the thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator, the impedance needs to be matched to 50 ohms. At the same frequency and bandwidth, the thinner the piezoelectric layer thickness, the smaller the area A of the effective region can be, thereby increasing the number of resonators integrated on a single wafer, which can save manufacturing costs.
[0005] The usual method to reduce the thickness of the piezoelectric layer is to use scandium-doped aluminum nitride as the piezoelectric layer to increase its electromechanical coupling coefficient. When the same bandwidth is required, a larger ratio t / d of the thickness of the single-layer electrode to the piezoelectric layer can be taken to achieve the purpose of thinning the thickness of the piezoelectric layer. Matching 50 ohms can reduce the resonator area A.
[0006] However, the above method has a problem that the power capacity of the resonator is reduced due to the reduction of the area of the effective region at the same power density. SUMMARY
[0007] In order to reduce the area of the effective region of the resonator and ensure the power capacity of the resonator, for example, in order to solve the problem of the reduction of the power capacity of the resonator due to the reduction of the area of the effective region after the introduction of scandium-doped aluminum nitride as the piezoelectric layer, the present application is proposed.

[0024] Figures 3-12 Cross-sectional schematic diagrams of the bulk acoustic wave resonator of different embodiments of the present application are shown respectively. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The technical solutions of the present application are further specifically described below by way of examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description, identical or similar reference numerals indicate identical or similar components. The following description of the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings is intended to explain the general inventive concept of the present application and should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.
[0026] As known by those skilled in the art, the area of the effective region of the resonator will be smaller if a doped piezoelectric layer is used instead of a piezoelectric layer under the same electromechanical coupling coefficient and frequency, and the power capacity of the resonator will be smaller under the same power density if the area of the effective region of the resonator is smaller.
[0027] Moreover, as known by those skilled in the art, the area of the effective region of the resonator will be smaller if the molybdenum electrode of the resonator is replaced by a tungsten electrode under the same electromechanical coupling coefficient and frequency, which is not conducive to maintaining a larger power capacity.
[0028] In addition, as known by those skilled in the art, the thin-film resistivity of metallic tungsten at room temperature is 20-30 micro-ohm per centimeter, and the thin-film resistivity of metallic molybdenum at room temperature is about 10 micro-ohm per centimeter. It can be seen that the thin-film resistivity of metallic tungsten at room temperature is much greater than the thin-film resistivity of metallic molybdenum at room temperature. Therefore, it is generally believed that the resistance of the tungsten electrode with tungsten as the electrode is greater than the resistance of the molybdenum electrode with molybdenum as the electrode during the operation of the resonator, so that the heat generated by the current flowing through the resistance of the tungsten electrode is greater than that of the molybdenum electrode. In this case, replacing the molybdenum electrode of the resonator with a tungsten electrode will directly lead to an increase in the heat dissipation of the electrode of the resonator during operation, which is not conducive to maintaining a larger power capacity under the condition that the area of the effective region of the resonator is constant. Therefore, those skilled in the art will not think of replacing the molybdenum electrode of the resonator with a tungsten electrode based on maintaining a larger power capacity.
[0029] Based on the above, for the resonator using molybdenum electrode and doped piezoelectric layer (which already has a smaller effective area based on the doping), the common practice of those skilled in the art is to try to avoid replacing the molybdenum electrode in the resonator using molybdenum electrode and doped piezoelectric layer with a tungsten electrode, because using a tungsten electrode will further reduce the area of the effective area and is not conducive to maintaining good power capacity.
[0030] However, the inventors have found that if the molybdenum electrode in the resonator using molybdenum electrode and doped piezoelectric layer is replaced with a tungsten electrode, the power capacity of the resonator can be ensured while reducing the area of the effective area of the resonator.
[0031] Based on the above, the present application proposes a technical solution in which the doped piezoelectric layer (which can reduce the area of the effective area of the resonator) is combined with the tungsten electrode (which can reduce the area of the effective area of the resonator) in the bulk acoustic wave resonator.
[0032] The following refers to the accompanying drawings Figures 2-12 The technical solution of the present application is specifically described. In the present application, the reference signs are simply explained as follows:
[0033] 110, 210, 310: substrate, which can be made of single crystal silicon, quartz, gallium arsenide or sapphire, etc.
[0034] 120, 220, 320: acoustic mirror, which is located on the upper surface of the substrate 110 or embedded in the substrate. In the present application, the acoustic mirror is composed of a cavity embedded in the substrate, but the acoustic mirror can also be a Bragg reflection layer and other equivalent forms.
[0035] 130, 230, 240, 330, 340, 350: single-layer bottom electrode or one bottom electrode layer in the bottom electrode stack, which can be deposited on the upper surface of the acoustic mirror and cover the acoustic mirror. The edge of the bottom electrode 130 can be chamfered, and the chamfer is aligned with the edge of the effective area of the resonator. In addition, the edge of the bottom electrode 130 can also be stepped, vertical or other similar structures. The material of the bottom electrode can be: gold (Au), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), titanium tungsten (TiW), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), osmium (Os), magnesium (Mg), gold (Au), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), germanium (Ge), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), arsenic-doped gold, and similar metals, as well as alloys of the above metals, etc.
[0036] 140, 250, 360: Piezoelectric film layer or piezoelectric layer, which can be selected from materials such as aluminum nitride (AlN), zinc oxide (ZnO), lead zirconate titanate (PZT), lithium niobate (LiNbO3), quartz (Quartz), potassium niobate (KNbO3) or lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) including rare earth element doping materials with a certain atomic ratio, and doping elements such as scandium (Sc), yttrium (Y), magnesium (Mg), titanium (Ti), lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu), etc.
[0037] 150, 260, 270, 370, 380, 390: A single-layer top electrode or a top electrode layer in a top electrode stack, the material of which can be: gold (Au), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), titanium tungsten (TiW), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), osmium (Os), magnesium (Mg), gold (Au), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), germanium (Ge), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), arsenic-doped gold and other similar metals, as well as alloys of the above metals. The material of the top electrode can be the same as or different from that of the bottom electrode. Figure 2 In FIG, no passivation layer is provided above the top electrode, but as can be understood, a passivation layer may also be provided.
[0038] 160: Passivation layer, the passivation layer material includes but is not limited to polysilicon SiO2, Si3N4, AlN, etc.
[0039] 170: Raised structure. The raised structure is made of the same material as the top electrode 130, the bottom electrode 150, or the piezoelectric layer 140. The raised structure is located at the edge of the active area and can reduce the acoustic impedance of the active area. In one embodiment of the present invention, the raised structure is made of tungsten.
[0040] The schematic cross-sectional view of the bulk acoustic wave resonator according to the present invention is also as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown. In a specific example, the bottom electrode 30 and top electrode 50 of the resonator are made of molybdenum, and the piezoelectric layer 40 is made of scandium-doped aluminum nitride. The thicknesses of the bottom electrode 30 and top electrode 50 are equal, t, and the thickness of the piezoelectric layer 40 is d. The thickness ratio (t / d) of the single-layer electrode to the piezoelectric layer affects the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator, and thus the bandwidth of the resonator (a larger effective electromechanical coupling coefficient indicates a larger bandwidth).
[0041] Figure 2Exemplary shows the relationship between the thickness ratio of the single-layer electrode and the piezoelectric layer and the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator when the thickness of the top electrode and the bottom electrode is the same, wherein the piezoelectric layer is aluminum nitride and the electrodes are both molybdenum, the piezoelectric layer is scandium-doped aluminum nitride and the electrodes are both molybdenum, and the piezoelectric layer is scandium-doped aluminum nitride and the electrodes are both tungsten.
[0042] As shown in Figure 2 Exemplary shows the relationship between the thickness ratio of the single-layer electrode and the piezoelectric layer and the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator when the thickness of the top electrode and the bottom electrode is the same, wherein the piezoelectric layer is aluminum nitride and the electrodes are both molybdenum, the piezoelectric layer is scandium-doped aluminum nitride and the electrodes are both molybdenum, and the piezoelectric layer is scandium-doped aluminum nitride and the electrodes are both tungsten. 2 The abscissa is the thickness ratio t / d of the single-layer electrode and the piezoelectric layer, and the ordinate is the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kt eff) of the resonator. The solid line represents the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient when the bottom electrode and the top electrode are molybdenum and the piezoelectric layer is aluminum nitride; the dotted line represents the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient when the bottom electrode and the top electrode are molybdenum and the piezoelectric layer is 3% scandium-doped aluminum nitride, and the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient curve is overall improved; and the dot-dashed line represents the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient when the bottom electrode and the top electrode are tungsten and the piezoelectric layer is 3% scandium-doped aluminum nitride, and the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient curve is further improved overall. The conventional bulk acoustic wave resonator uses molybdenum as the electrode, and when the piezoelectric layer is scandium-doped aluminum nitride, the thickness ratio t / d of the electrode and the piezoelectric layer is increased at the same frequency compared to the case where the piezoelectric layer is aluminum nitride, the electrode thickness is thickened, the piezoelectric layer thickness is thinned, the area A required for matching to 50 ohms is smaller, and the area A of the effective region can be reduced to increase the number of resonators, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. However, reducing the area A will make the power capacity of the resonator worse.
[0043] In the present application, tungsten electrodes are used instead of molybdenum electrodes. On the one hand, the thermal conductivity coefficient of the tungsten electrode (1.73) is greater than that of the molybdenum electrode (1.38), the thermal conductivity of the tungsten electrode is better, and the power density that the resonator can withstand is greater, and the power capacity can be higher. On the other hand, the tungsten electrode can further improve the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient, and at the same effective electromechanical coupling coefficient, the thickness ratio t / d of the electrode and the piezoelectric layer can be greater. Compared to the molybdenum electrode, the increase in the thickness of the tungsten electrode can reduce the resistance of the thin-film electrode, reduce the heat generated by the electrode resistance, and because the electrode material has better thermal conductivity than the piezoelectric layer material, the power density that the resonator can withstand is greater, and the power capacity can be higher.
[0044] Therefore, in the present application, tungsten electrodes are used in resonators with scandium-doped aluminum nitride piezoelectric layers, which can reduce the area A of the effective region of the resonator while ensuring the power capacity of the resonator. Scandium-doped aluminum nitride as the piezoelectric layer and tungsten as the electrode material can not only reduce the area of the resonator, but also increase the number of resonators integrated on a single wafer, and also ensure the power capacity of the resonator, so that the resonator is not damaged at high power.
