TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thin film bulk acoustic resonator, and particularly relates to a thin film bulk acoustic resonator with good heat dissipation, a preparation method and a filter. BACKGROUND
[0002] In a radio frequency front-end module of a wireless communication system, a filter is an indispensable important component, which mainly functions to screen signals, thereby realizing the functions of receiving and transmitting signals. Common filters in a mobile phone include a surface acoustic wave filter, a solid-state assembled bulk acoustic wave filter and a thin film bulk acoustic wave filter. As a new technology in recent years, a thin film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) and a filter including the thin film bulk acoustic resonator, i.e. a thin film bulk acoustic wave filter, have the characteristics of small volume, small insertion loss, high frequency and high power capacity, and are very suitable for next-generation high-frequency mobile terminal products.
[0003] The FBAR is roughly composed of three parts, i.e. a "sandwich" structure of a metal thin film / piezoelectric material / metal thin film stack, and its working principle is based on the piezoelectric effect and inverse piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric material, which converts an electrical signal into an acoustic wave vibration of the piezoelectric material. The resonant frequency is inversely proportional to the stacking thickness in the vertical direction, and thus the working frequency of the FBAR is controlled by the stacking thickness. The higher the frequency is, the thinner the stacking structure is.
[0004] In a high-frequency FBAR product, the thickness of the "sandwich" structure is only several tens to several hundred nanometers. The reduction of the stacking thickness not only increases the film resistivity of the metal electrode, but also reduces the lattice quality of the piezoelectric material deposited or sputtered. The former increases the electrical loss of the FBAR, and the latter increases the acoustic wave loss of the FBAR. Most of these losses are in the form of heat dissipation. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, the FBAR overheating not only limits the power capacity of the FBAR, but also greatly reduces the service life of the FBAR, and there is a possibility of being burned at any time.
[0005] Moreover, as Figure 17An existing film bulk acoustic resonator is shown, first, a metal material layer 42 is attached in the cavity of the lower substrate 39, specifically attached to the bottom and side of the cavity, and then the metal via 45 and the pad 46 are deposited by the back opening method. The "sandwich" structure of the film bulk acoustic resonator body is composed of the top electrode 44, the piezoelectric layer 43, and the bottom electrode 41, and the top electrode 44, the piezoelectric layer 43, and the bottom electrode 41 are located between the lower substrate 39 and the upper substrate 40, and the heat generated by the vibration can be conducted to the pad 46 on the back of the lower substrate 39 through the connection of the bottom electrode 41 and the metal material layer 42 and the metal via 45. Although this structure method improves the heat dissipation capacity of the device, the improvement effect is not obvious, and the connection of the bottom electrode 41 and the metal material layer 42 is too weak, which has a great risk of failure. At the same time, due to the large contact area of the metal material layer 42 and the cavity of the lower substrate 39, there may be a part of the electrical leakage. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, a thin film bulk acoustic resonator with good heat dissipation according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a supporting substrate 10, a thermal conductive layer 12, a first electrode layer 14, a piezoelectric layer 15, a second electrode layer 16, and a passivation layer 17 stacked in sequence, wherein the supporting substrate 10 is provided with a first groove 101, the thermal conductive layer 12 is located on the surface of the supporting substrate 10 where the first groove 101 is located, and the thermal conductive layer 12 covers each surface within the first groove 101;
[0058] The first electrode layer 14 includes a first partial electrode layer 141 and a second partial electrode layer 142 separated from each other. The first partial electrode layer 141 covers the opening of the first groove 101 to form a first cavity 19. The second partial electrode layer 142 is electrically connected to the second electrode layer 16.
[0059] The first partial electrode layer 141 and the heat conduction layer 12 are connected with a first conductive pad 28, and the first conductive pad 28 extends out of the support substrate 10. The second partial electrode layer 142 and the heat conduction layer 12 are connected with a second conductive pad 29, and the second conductive pad 29 extends out of the support substrate 10. The heat conduction layer 12 is connected with a heat conduction pad, and the heat conduction pad extends out of the support substrate 10.
[0060] The material of the support substrate 10 is a substrate material commonly used in semiconductor processes, including but not limited to silicon Si, germanium Ge, sapphire Al2O3, quartz SiO2, silicon carbide SiC, organic polymers, etc.
[0061] The material of the heat conduction layer 12 is diamond. Diamond has high thermal conductivity, further enhancing the heat dissipation capability of the film bulk acoustic resonator. The material of the heat conduction layer 12 can also be set according to actual conditions.
[0062] The material of the first electrode layer 14 and the second electrode layer 16 is a metal material with good electrical conductivity, including but not limited to molybdenum Mo, copper Cu, tungsten W, gold Au, titanium Ti, aluminum Al, platinum Pt, etc.

[0064] The material of the passivation layer 17 is silicon dioxide SiO2, aluminum nitride AlN, etc.
[0065] The cross section of the first groove 101 is trapezoidal. The first groove 101 can also be set to other shapes according to actual conditions.
[0066] The implementation of the electrical connection between the second partial electrode layer 142 and the second electrode layer 16 is as follows:
[0067] Etching is performed on the piezoelectric layer 15 to expose the second partial electrode layer 142, and then metal is deposited to form a third metal layer 18 covering one end of the second electrode layer 16. The electrical connection between the second partial electrode layer 142 and the second electrode layer 16 is achieved through the third metal layer 18. The material of the third metal layer 18 is copper, tungsten, gold, titanium, aluminum, or silver.
[0068] A sixth through hole extending to the first partial electrode layer 141 is formed on the support substrate 10. The first conductive pad 28 fills the fourth through hole and extends out of the support substrate 10. A first through hole extending to the second partial electrode layer 142 is formed on the support substrate 10. The second conductive pad 29 fills the first through hole and extends out of the support substrate 10. Specifically:
[0069] 1) The specific structure of the first conductive pad 28 is that a sixth via hole is formed on the support substrate 10 to extend to the first partial electrode layer 141, the bottom of the sixth via hole exposes the first partial electrode layer 141, copper, tungsten, gold, titanium, aluminum or silver and the like are deposited in the sixth via hole, and the metal extending out of the support substrate 10 is the ninth metal layer 27, that is, the first conductive pad 28.
[0070] 2) The specific structure of the second conductive pad 29 is that a first via hole is formed on the support substrate 10 to extend to the second partial electrode layer 142, that is, the bottom of the first via hole exposes the second partial electrode layer 142, copper, tungsten, gold, titanium, aluminum or silver and the like are deposited in the first via hole, and the metal extending out of the support substrate 10 is the fourth metal layer 22, that is, the second conductive pad 29.
[0071] Among them, the specific structure of the heat conduction pad is that a via hole is formed on the support substrate 10 to expose the heat conduction layer 12, and copper, tungsten, gold, titanium, aluminum or silver and the like are deposited in the via hole and extend out of the support substrate 10, and the metal deposited in the via hole and extending out of the support substrate 10 is the heat conduction pad; a plurality of conductive pads and a plurality of heat conduction pads can be provided according to actual conditions.
[0072] Through the first conductive pad 28, the second conductive pad 29, the conductive layer 12 and the heat conduction pad as the first heat conduction pad 30, the second heat conduction pad 31, the third heat conduction pad 32 and the fourth heat conduction pad 33 in the following, the heat generated by the film bulk acoustic resonator can be timely conducted out of the support substrate 10, the heat dissipation capacity of the film bulk acoustic resonator is enhanced, the thermal damage to the film bulk acoustic resonator is reduced, and the mechanical strength is high, thereby realizing a film bulk acoustic resonator with good heat dissipation characteristics and high mechanical strength.
[0073] Moreover, in the existing thin film bulk acoustic resonator, the connection between the bottom electrode 41 and the metal material layer 42 is achieved by connecting the plane of the bottom electrode 41 with the sidewall of the metal material layer 42. The thickness of the sidewall of the metal material layer 42 is generally less than 2 microns, that is, the width of the connection surface is not more than 2 microns. In the present application, the connection mode is a metal via hole with a diameter of more than 10 microns. The metal 1 filled in the first blind hole and the metal 38 filled in the sixth blind hole can be regarded as metal columns 38 and 11. The effect of conduction and heat conduction is obvious. The metal via hole is specifically reflected in the connection between the first partial electrode layer 141, the metal 38 filled in the sixth blind hole, and the ninth metal layer 27, and the connection between the second partial electrode layer 142, the metal 11 filled in the first blind hole, and the fourth metal layer 22. Because the metal material layer 42 of the existing thin film bulk acoustic resonator is in contact with the entire cavity, the radiation area is much larger than the radiation area of the metal via hole in contact with the support substrate 10 in the present application. Therefore, the electrical leakage is relatively large, that is, the electrical leakage of the thin film bulk acoustic resonator of the present application is small.

The third heat conduction pad 32 fills the fourth through hole and extends to the outside of the support substrate 10. The fourth heat conduction pad 33 fills the fifth through hole and extends to the outside of the support substrate 10. The heat dissipation capacity of the thin film bulk acoustic resonator can be further enhanced.
[0076] The specific implementation modes of the first heat conduction pad 30, the second heat conduction pad 31, the third heat conduction pad 32, and the fourth heat conduction pad 33 are as follows:
[0077] The second through hole, the third through hole, the fourth through hole, and the fifth through hole extending to the heat conduction layer 12 are formed on the support substrate 10, that is, the bottom of the second through hole, the bottom of the third through hole, the bottom of the fourth through hole, and the bottom of the fifth through hole all expose the heat conduction layer 12. Copper, tungsten, gold, titanium, aluminum, or silver and other metals are deposited in the second through hole, the third through hole, the fourth through hole, and the fifth through hole and extend to the outside of the support substrate 10. Then:
[0078] 1) The metal deposited in the second through hole and extending to the outside of the support substrate 10, that is, the fifth metal layer 23, is the first heat conduction pad 30.
[0079] 2) the metal deposited in the third via hole and the metal extending out of the support substrate 10, i.e. the sixth metal layer 24, is the second heat-conductive pad 31;
[0080] 3) the metal deposited in the fourth via hole and the metal extending out of the support substrate 10, i.e. the seventh metal layer 25, is the third heat-conductive pad 32;

[0084] The passivation layer 17 is arranged on one end of the second electrode layer 16, and the passivation layer 17 is connected with the piezoelectric layer 15, and the other end of the second electrode layer 16 is electrically connected with the second local electrode layer 142. That is, the two ends of the second electrode layer 16 are respectively covered with the passivation layer 17 and the third metal layer 18.
