[0002] Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) and integrated circuit (IC) are currently the two most important development areas in the semiconductor industry. Driven by the rapid development of global science and technology, the integration of MEMS and IC has become an inevitable trend. There are three integration methods: monolithic integration, semi-hybrid (bonding) integration and hybrid integration; monolithic integration refers to the manufacture of MEMS structure and CMOS on a chip; hybrid integration is to manufacture MEMS and IC on different dies respectively, and then package them in a tube shell, and connect the MEMS bare die with bumps to the IC chip in the form of flip-chip or wire bonding to form SIP; semi-hybrid is to use three-dimensional integration technology to achieve three-dimensional integration of MEMS chip and CMOS; monolithic integration is an important development direction of MEMS and IC integration technology, especially for RF thin film bulk acoustic wave filters, there are many advantages, first, the processing circuit is close to the microstructure, and the detection and reception of signals can achieve higher accuracy; second, the integrated system is reduced in size and power consumption is low; third, the number of devices is reduced, the number of package pins is reduced, and the reliability is high.

[0003] In the existing radio frequency (RF) bulk acoustic wave filter manufacturing technology, most of them use system in a package (SIP) to seal the filter, drive circuit and processing circuit together. As the requirements for RF system performance become higher and higher, it is necessary to make filters of multiple frequency bands on a wafer. Due to the process and device characteristics of bulk acoustic wave filters, it is difficult to make filters of multiple frequency bands on a wafer. Even if it can be achieved, the process complexity is very high. However, bulk acoustic wave filters have significant advantages, such as low insertion loss and high isolation. Bulk acoustic wave filters must be used in some applications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The substrate material of the surface acoustic wave filter is lithium niobate or lithium tantalate. The material properties and thermal expansion coefficient are different from those of ordinary substrates. It is easy to break and difficult to combine with the commonly used silicon wafer process. Therefore, it is not easy to integrate the surface acoustic wave filter with the bulk acoustic wave filter wafer-level process in the existing technology; in addition, due to the process and device characteristics of the bulk acoustic wave filter, it is relatively difficult to realize the production of filters with multiple frequency bands on a wafer. Even if it can be realized, its process complexity is very high. However, the advantages of the bulk acoustic wave filter are significant, such as low insertion loss and high isolation. The bulk acoustic wave filter must be used in some applications; the process and device characteristics of the surface acoustic wave filter determine that it is easy to realize the production of multiple frequency bands on a wafer, so the use of the surface acoustic wave filter is more cost-effective. Therefore, how to bond the surface acoustic wave filter with the bulk acoustic wave filter to solve the current problems of the single frequency band, low integration and complicated manufacturing process of MEMS devices is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0035] This embodiment 1 provides a MEMS device, Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a MEMS device of the present embodiment 1, please refer to FIG. Figure 1 , the MEMS device comprises:

[0036] A surface acoustic wave filter, wherein the surface acoustic wave filter comprises an interdigital transducer 11;

[0037] A first structural layer 13, wherein the first structural layer 13 is located above the surface acoustic wave filter;

[0038] A bulk acoustic wave filter, the bulk acoustic wave filter is located above the first structural layer 13; the bulk acoustic wave filter includes a carrier substrate 100, an acoustic reflection structure (not shown in the figure) located on the surface of the carrier substrate 100, and a piezoelectric stacked structure on the acoustic reflection structure, the piezoelectric stacked structure includes a first electrode 102, a piezoelectric layer 103 and a second electrode 104 stacked in sequence;

[0039] The first structural layer 13 has a first cavity 120a, and the effective resonance region of the piezoelectric stacked structure and the interdigital transducer 11 of the surface acoustic wave filter cover the first cavity 120a.

[0040] The bulk acoustic wave filter can also be a thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator or a solid-state assembled resonator. When the sound reflection structure includes a cavity, it can be a bulk acoustic wave filter or a thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator. When the sound reflection structure includes a Bragg reflection layer, it can be a solid-state assembled resonator. This embodiment takes the bulk acoustic wave filter as an example to explain the present invention in detail.

[0041] The first cavity 120a can be formed by etching the first structure layer 13 through an etching process. However, the technology of the present invention is not limited to this. It should be noted that there is a bonding interface between the first structure layer 13 and the bulk acoustic wave filter, and the first structure layer 13 is bonded to the bulk acoustic wave filter through the bonding interface. The first structure layer 13 is bonded to the first structure layer 13 on the surface acoustic wave filter through a bonding process, and the first cavity 120a is formed with the surface acoustic wave filter. The vertical integration of the bulk acoustic wave filter and the surface acoustic wave filter is realized in the device manufacturing stage, the system-level packaging process at the back end is omitted, the manufacturing process is simplified, the packaging volume of the entire system is reduced, and the integration is greatly improved; the bonding method includes: metal bonding, covalent bonding, adhesive bonding or melt bonding. The first structure layer and the filter are bonded through a bonding layer, and the material of the bonding layer includes a photolithographic organic curable film, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbonitride or ethyl silicate or metal. In other embodiments, the first structural layer 13 may also be located on the bulk acoustic wave filter, with a bonding interface between the first structural layer 13 and the surface acoustic wave filter. The first structural layer 13 is bonded to the surface acoustic wave filter through the bonding interface, thereby realizing the bonding connection between the bulk acoustic wave filter and the surface acoustic wave filter.

[0042] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the first cavity 120a is in a rectangular shape. However, in other embodiments, the first cavity 120a may also be in a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or a polygon other than a rectangle, such as a pentagon or a hexagon.

[0043] It should be noted that, by providing a first structural layer 13 with a first cavity 120a between the surface acoustic wave filter and the bulk acoustic wave filter, the effective resonance area of ​​the piezoelectric stack structure and the interdigital transducer 11 of the surface acoustic wave filter jointly cover the first cavity 120a, thereby realizing vertical integration, reducing the packaging volume of the entire system, achieving miniaturization, and greatly improving the integration level; not only retaining the advantages of high frequency and low insertion loss of the bulk acoustic wave filter, but also reducing the process cost to meet the needs of multi-band; the effective resonance area of ​​the piezoelectric stack structure is located in the first cavity 120a, which effectively improves the quality factor of the bulk acoustic wave filter.

[0044] The effective resonance region of the piezoelectric stacked structure and the IDT 11 of the surface acoustic wave filter jointly cover the first cavity 120a, such as the effective resonance region and the IDT 11 face the first cavity 120a, respectively cover the first cavity 120a, or at least one of them protrudes into the first cavity 120a.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first cavity 120a penetrates the first structural layer 13; the first structural layer 13 includes a photolithographic organic curable film or an oxide layer. In this embodiment, the first structural layer 13 is a photolithographic organic curable film, which has single-sided or double-sided adhesiveness, a film material or a liquid material, can be photolithographic, can be cured, has a relatively small elastic modulus, can relieve the bonding stress between the surface acoustic wave filter and the bulk acoustic wave filter, and has high bonding reliability with the surface acoustic wave filter and the bulk acoustic wave filter. The first cavity 120a is obtained by photolithography of the first structural layer 13, which causes less damage to the filter surface, further improving the quality factor of the device. The thickness range of the first structural layer 13 includes 5 to 50 μm. The surface acoustic wave filter is subsequently bonded to the bulk acoustic wave filter, which needs to reach a certain thickness, and the first isolation groove subsequently formed on the first structural layer 13 also needs to have a certain depth. Therefore, in this embodiment, by limiting the thickness range of the first structural layer 13 to 5 to 50 μm, the bonding conditions of the surface acoustic wave filter and the subsequent bulk acoustic wave filter can be met and costs can be saved. In other embodiments, the thickness range of the first structure layer 13 may also be higher or lower than this range.

[0046] In this embodiment, a passivation layer 12 is provided between the first structural layer 13 and the surface acoustic wave filter. By providing the passivation layer 12 on the surface acoustic wave filter, the surface acoustic wave filter can be protected and the structural strength and device performance of the surface acoustic wave filter can be improved. The passivation layer 12 includes an oxide layer 121 and an etching stop layer 122. The oxide layer 121 is located on the upper surface of the surface acoustic wave filter. The etching stop layer 122 is located on the oxide layer 121. The material of the oxide layer 121 is at least one of any insulating materials such as silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, and silicon nitride. By providing the oxide layer 121 on the surface of the surface acoustic wave filter, the dustproof and waterproof effects of the surface acoustic wave filter are improved. An etching stop layer 122 is provided on the oxide layer 121. The material of the etching stop layer 122 includes but is not limited to silicon nitride and silicon oxynitride. In this embodiment, it is silicon nitride. Silicon nitride has a high density and strength, and can improve the waterproof and corrosion-resistant effects of the surface acoustic wave filter.

[0047] In addition, the etch stop layer 122 can be used to increase the structural stability of the filter finally manufactured on the one hand, and on the other hand, the etch stop layer 122 has a lower etching rate than the photolithographic organic curing film, and can prevent over-etching in the process of etching the organic curing film to form the first cavity 110a, protecting the surface of the structure located thereunder from damage, thereby improving device performance and reliability.

[0048] In other embodiments, the passivation layer 12 may also include only one of the oxide layer 121 and the etch stop layer 122 , or the passivation layer 12 may also be other structures, which are not limited here.

[0049] In this embodiment, the surface acoustic wave filter further includes a carrier substrate 10 and a dielectric layer 20 located on the carrier substrate 10 .

[0050] It should be noted that the surface acoustic wave filter is composed of a layer of metal film evaporated on a material substrate with piezoelectric effect, and then a pair of interdigital electrodes are formed at both ends through photolithography; the surface acoustic wave filter has the advantages of high working efficiency, wide bandwidth, good frequency selection characteristics, small size and light weight, and can adopt the same production process as integrated circuits, with simple manufacturing and low cost.

[0051] The carrier substrate 10 has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the dielectric layer 20 is located on the first surface of the carrier substrate 10, and the interdigital transducer 11 is located in the dielectric layer 20 on the first surface of the carrier substrate 10. The interdigital transducer 11 includes a transmitting transducer and a receiving transducer. When a signal voltage is applied to the transmitting transducer, an electric field is formed between the input interdigital electrodes to cause the piezoelectric material to vibrate mechanically and propagate to both sides in the form of ultrasonic waves. The receiving transducer converts the mechanical vibration into an electrical signal, which is output by the output interdigital electrodes.

[0052] In this embodiment, the BAW filter is located above the first structural layer 13; the BAW filter includes a carrier substrate 100, a support layer 101 located on the surface of the carrier substrate 100, and a piezoelectric stacked structure that forms a second cavity 110a with the carrier substrate 100 and the support layer 101.

[0053] Specifically, the projections of the first cavity 120a and the second cavity 110a on the piezoelectric stack structure at least partially overlap, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the effective resonance region of the piezoelectric stack structure are both in the air, which can further improve the quality factor of the BAW filter.

[0054] The carrier substrate 100 can be at least one of the following materials: silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), silicon germanium (SiGe), carbon silicon (SiC), carbon germanium silicon (SiGeC), indium arsenide (InAs), gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP) or other III / V compound semiconductors, including multilayer structures composed of these semiconductors, etc., and can also be a ceramic substrate such as aluminum oxide, a quartz or glass substrate, etc.

[0055] The support layer 101 is bonded to the carrier substrate 100, and forms a second cavity 110a with the piezoelectric stack structure, and the second cavity 110a exposes the carrier substrate 100. In the present embodiment, the second cavity 110a is an annular closed cavity, and the second cavity 110a can be formed by etching the support layer through an etching process. However, the technology of the present invention is not limited to this. It should be noted that the support layer 101 is combined with the carrier substrate 100 by bonding, and the bonding methods include: metal bonding, covalent bonding, adhesive bonding or melt bonding. In the present embodiment, the support layer 101 and the carrier substrate 100 are bonded through a bonding layer, and the material of the bonding layer includes silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbonitride or ethyl silicate.

[0056] In this embodiment, the shape of the bottom surface of the second cavity 110a is a rectangle, but in other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the second cavity 110a on the bottom surface of the first electrode 102 may also be a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon other than a rectangle, such as a pentagon, a hexagon, etc. The material of the support layer 101 may be any suitable dielectric material, including but not limited to one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbonitride, etc. The material of the support layer 101 and the bonding layer may be the same.

[0057] A piezoelectric stack structure is disposed above the second cavity 110a, and the piezoelectric stack structure sequentially includes a first electrode 102, a piezoelectric layer 103, and a second electrode 104. The first electrode 102 is located on the support layer 101, the piezoelectric layer 103 is located on the first electrode 102, and the second electrode 104 is located on the piezoelectric layer 103.

[0058] In this embodiment, the piezoelectric layer 103 covers the second cavity 110a. Covering the second cavity 110a should be understood as the piezoelectric layer 103 being a complete film layer that has not been etched. It does not mean that the piezoelectric layer 103 completely covers the second cavity 110a to form a sealed cavity. Of course, the piezoelectric layer 103 can completely cover the second cavity 110a to form a sealed cavity. The piezoelectric layer 103 is not etched to ensure that the piezoelectric stack structure has a certain thickness, so that the bulk acoustic wave filter has a certain structural strength. Improve the yield rate of bulk acoustic wave filters.

[0059] In one embodiment, an etch stop layer is further provided between the support layer 101 and the first electrode 102, and its material includes but is not limited to silicon nitride (Si3N4) and silicon oxynitride (SiON). The etch stop layer can be used to increase the structural stability of the final bulk acoustic wave resonator on the one hand, and on the other hand, the etch stop layer has a lower etching rate than the support layer 101, and can prevent over-etching in the process of etching the support layer 101 to form the second cavity 110a, protecting the surface of the first electrode 102 thereunder from damage, thereby improving device performance and reliability.

[0060] In this embodiment, the surface of the piezoelectric stack structure further includes a first groove 105 and a second groove 106. The first groove 105 is located on the bottom of the lower surface of the piezoelectric stack structure and the side where the second cavity 110a is located, and penetrates the first electrode 102. The second groove 106 is located on the upper surface of the piezoelectric stack structure and penetrates the second electrode 104. The two ends of the first groove 105 are arranged opposite to the two ends of the second groove 106, so that the first groove 105 and the second groove 106 are connected or have a gap at two intersections of the projection of the carrier substrate 100. In this embodiment, the projection of the first groove 105 and the second groove 106 on the carrier substrate 100 is a closed figure. The first electrode 102, the piezoelectric layer 103 and the second electrode 104 above the second cavity 120a are provided with an overlapping area in a direction perpendicular to the supporting substrate 100. The overlapping area between the first groove 105 and the second groove 106 is an effective resonance area. The effective resonance area of ​​the bulk acoustic wave filter is defined by the first groove 105 and the second groove 106. The first groove 105 and the second groove 106 penetrate the first electrode 102 and the second electrode 104 respectively. The piezoelectric layer 103 maintains a complete film layer without being etched, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the bulk acoustic wave filter and improving the yield of the bulk acoustic wave filter.

[0061] In this embodiment, the surface acoustic wave filter is electrically connected to the external circuit through the first electrical connection structure 14 and the fourth electrical connection structure 17, and the bulk acoustic wave filter is electrically connected to the external circuit through the second electrical connection structure 15 and the third electrical connection structure 16. By forming electrical connection structures respectively between the bulk acoustic wave filter and the surface acoustic wave filter, electrical connection with the external circuit is achieved, which avoids mutual interference between the signals of the surface acoustic wave filter and the bulk acoustic wave filter, thereby improving the performance of the MEMS device.

[0062] The first electrical connection structure 14 includes a first interconnection hole (not shown in the figure) and a first conductive interconnection layer 141 located in the first interconnection hole, wherein the first interconnection hole penetrates from one side of the carrier substrate 100 and extends to the interdigital transducer 11 of the surface acoustic wave filter;

[0063] The second electrical connection structure 15 includes a second interconnection hole (not shown in the figure) and a second conductive interconnection layer 151 located in the second interconnection hole. The second interconnection hole passes through one side of the carrier substrate 100 and extends to the first electrode 102 outside the effective resonance region of the piezoelectric stack structure.

[0064] The carrier substrate 100 is provided with an interconnection line 18 , the first conductive interconnection layer 141 includes a first plug, the second conductive interconnection layer 151 includes a second plug, and the first plug and the second plug are electrically connected to the interconnection line 18 .

[0065] It should be noted that the input and output ends of the interdigital transducer 11 are provided with interdigital electrodes. The first electrical connection structure is used to introduce an electrical signal into the input end of the interdigital transducer. When an electrical signal is input into the input end of the interdigital transducer, under the action of the alternating electric field of the input electrical signal, due to the piezoelectric effect of the crystal, mechanical vibration is excited on the substrate surface of the interdigital transducer to form a surface acoustic wave. The fourth electrical connection structure is used to connect the output end of the interdigital transducer. The surface acoustic wave formed at the input end propagates along the substrate surface to the interdigital electrode at the output end. Due to the pressure effect, the mechanical vibration generates an electric field change, and the electrical signal is output at the output end. The second electrical connection structure is used to introduce an electrical signal into the second electrode of the effective resonance zone. The third electrical connection structure is used to introduce an electrical signal into the first electrode of the effective resonance zone. After the first electrode 103 and the second electrode 105 are energized, a pressure difference is generated between the upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric layer 104 to form a standing wave oscillation. The specific structures of the first electrical connection structure 14 and the second electrical connection structure 15 are as follows:

[0066] The first electrical connection structure 14 includes:

[0067] A first interconnection hole, wherein the first interconnection hole penetrates from one side of the carrier substrate 100 and extends to the interdigital transducer 11 of the surface acoustic wave filter;

[0068] A first conductive interconnection layer 141 covers the inner surface of the first interconnection hole and is electrically connected to the interconnection line 18 located on the surface of the carrier substrate 100;

[0069] The second electrical connection structure 15 comprises:

[0070] a second interconnection hole, wherein the second interconnection hole penetrates through one side of the carrier substrate 100 and extends to the first electrode 102 outside the effective resonance region of the piezoelectric stack structure and exposes the first electrode 102;
