[0009] Optionally, the dielectric material layer may be made of a liquid organic material containing a dielectric material, including silicates, methylsilanes, methyl-silsesquioxides, or hydrogen-silsesquioxides.

[0010] Optionally, the method of forming the dielectric material layer includes spin coating; the method of heat-treating the dielectric material layer includes baking and curing; wherein the baking temperature range is 100 degrees Celsius to 300 degrees Celsius, and the curing temperature range is 300 degrees Celsius to 500 degrees Celsius.

Based on the SOG process, when the dielectric layer is located on the substrate and covers the interdigitated electrode structure, a flat surface can be obtained, resulting in a temperature compensation layer with a flat top surface. Alternatively, when the dielectric layer is located on the temperature compensation layer, it can fill in any protrusions on the top surface of the temperature compensation layer, thus achieving a flat surface for the temperature compensation structure. This avoids the increased insertion loss of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator due to uneven surface conditions, improving the performance of the SAW resonator. Furthermore, it avoids depositing an excessively thick temperature compensation layer, solving the stress concentration problem and preventing breakage of the temperature compensation layer.

[0024] Figures 2 to 4 This is a schematic diagram of the formation process of a surface acoustic wave resonator in one embodiment of the present invention;

[0025] Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the formation process of the surface acoustic wave resonator in another embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "surface" and "on" in this specification are used to describe the relative spatial position and are not limited to whether there is direct contact.

[0027] As described in the background section, improving the temperature stability of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices and reducing the impact of temperature on operating frequency, and developing temperature-stable filters have become essential for future development. This will be analyzed and explained in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a surface acoustic wave resonator in one embodiment.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 The surface acoustic wave resonator includes: a substrate 100; an interdigitated electrode structure 101 located on the substrate 100; and a temperature compensation layer 102 located on the substrate 100, covering the interdigitated electrode structure 101.

[0030] The temperature compensation layer 102 is made of a material with a positive temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) to suppress frequency drift caused by temperature changes, thereby improving the sound velocity of the device. The temperature compensation layer 102 is typically made of silicon oxide, and the process for forming it is usually a deposition process. However, due to the characteristics of the deposition process, when depositing a temperature compensation layer 102 of the same thickness on the substrate 100 and the interdigital electrode structure 101, the temperature compensation layer 102 located on the interdigital electrode structure 101 will typically protrude from its top surface (as shown in region A), forming a protrusion. This protrusion will introduce SH waves into the passband region, increasing insertion loss. The protrusion will also cause changes in the original resonator's temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) and electromechanical coupling coefficient, deviating from ideal values.

[0031] To address the issue of the protruding portion, on one hand, a sufficiently thick temperature compensation layer is deposited on the substrate 100 to cover the interdigitated electrode structure 101, making the protrusion smoother. However, an excessively thick temperature compensation layer can easily cause strong stress concentration at the interface between the substrate and the temperature compensation layer, leading to breakage of the temperature compensation layer. On the other hand, planarization processes such as chemical mechanical polishing are used to remove the protrusion. This requires depositing a thicker temperature compensation material layer for the chemical mechanical polishing process, resulting in wasted production capacity for forming the temperature compensation layer.

[0032] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator and its formation method, as well as a SAW filter. This is achieved by forming a temperature compensation structure on a substrate. The temperature compensation structure includes a temperature compensation layer and a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is formed using spin-coating glass technology. The temperature compensation layer is located on the substrate and covers the interdigitated electrode structure. Alternatively, the dielectric layer is located on the substrate and covers the interdigitated electrode structure, with the temperature compensation layer located on the dielectric layer. Based on the spin-on glass coating (SOG) process, when the dielectric layer is located on the substrate and covers the interdigitated electrode structure, a flat surface can be obtained, thereby forming a temperature compensation layer with a flat top surface. Alternatively, when the dielectric layer is located on the temperature compensation layer, it can fill the protrusions on the top surface of the temperature compensation layer, so that the temperature compensation structure has a flat surface. This avoids the situation where the insertion loss of the surface acoustic wave resonator increases due to the uneven surface of the temperature compensation structure, thus improving the performance of the surface acoustic wave resonator. In addition, it can avoid depositing an excessively thick temperature compensation layer, solve the stress concentration problem, and prevent the temperature compensation layer from breaking.

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and beneficial effects of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Figures 2 to 4 This is a schematic diagram of the formation process of a surface acoustic wave resonator in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 Substrate 200 is provided.

[0036] The substrate 200 is made of a piezoelectric material, which includes lithium tantalate (LT) or lithium niobate (LN).

[0037] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 An interdigitated electrode structure 201 is formed on the substrate 200.

[0038] The material of the interdigitated electrode structure 201 includes metals, including one or more combinations of copper, aluminum, tungsten, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, titanium, and tantalum.

[0039] Next, a temperature compensation structure is formed on the substrate 200. The top surface of the temperature compensation structure is a flat surface. The temperature compensation structure includes a temperature compensation layer and a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is formed using spin-on glass coating (SOG) technology. In this embodiment, the temperature compensation layer is located on the substrate 200 and covers the interdigitated electrode structure 201, and the dielectric layer is located on the temperature compensation layer. The formation process of the temperature compensation structure is described in [reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 .

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 A temperature compensation layer 202 is formed on the substrate 200. The temperature compensation layer 202 is located on the surface of the substrate 200 and the sidewall surface and top surface of the interdigital electrode structure 201. The top surface of the temperature compensation layer 202 has a protrusion corresponding to the interdigital electrode structure 201.

[0041] The temperature compensation layer 202 is made of a positive temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) material, which is a material with a temperature coefficient greater than 0, and is a piezoelectric substrate capable of compensating for negative temperature coefficients.

[0042] The temperature compensation layer 202 is made of silicon oxide, silicon fluoride, or silicon carbide.

[0043] In this embodiment, the temperature compensation layer 202 is made of silicon oxide.

[0044] In this embodiment, the process for forming the temperature compensation layer 202 includes chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition.

[0045] The thickness of the temperature compensation layer 202 is greater than the thickness of the interdigitated electrode structure 201. This ensures that the temperature compensation layer 202 provides sufficient temperature compensation for the piezoelectric substrate.

[0046] In this embodiment, the thickness of the temperature compensation layer 202 is 1.5 to 3 times the thickness of the interdigitated electrode structure 201.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 A dielectric material layer (not shown) is spin-coated onto the temperature compensation layer 202. The dielectric material layer uniformly covers the surface of the temperature compensation layer 202, including the top surface of the temperature compensation layer 202, as well as the sidewall and top surfaces of the protrusion. The dielectric material layer is then heat-treated to solidify and form a dielectric layer 203. The top surface of the dielectric layer 203 is a flat surface.

[0048] The dielectric material layer comprises: liquid organic materials containing dielectric materials, including: silicates, methylsilanes, methyl-silsesquioxides, or hydrogen-silsesquioxides.

[0049] The dielectric material layer is liquid, allowing it to flow uniformly across the temperature compensation layer 202. This fills in any protrusions on the top surface of the temperature compensation layer 202, resulting in a smooth surface for the temperature compensation structure. This prevents uneven surfaces from increasing the insertion loss of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator, thus improving its performance. Furthermore, the temperature compensation layer 202 does not require a large thickness, avoiding excessive deposition and resolving stress concentration issues, thus preventing breakage.

[0050] In this embodiment, the method for forming the dielectric material layer includes spin coating; the method for heat-treating the dielectric material layer includes baking and curing; wherein the baking temperature range is 100 degrees Celsius to 300 degrees Celsius, and the curing temperature range is 300 degrees Celsius to 500 degrees Celsius.

[0051] In this embodiment, the dielectric layer 203 is made of a material with a positive temperature coefficient of frequency, and the dielectric layer 203 can also compensate for the piezoelectric substrate with a negative temperature coefficient.

[0052] In this embodiment, the thickness of the temperature compensation structure is 2 to 4 times the thickness of the interdigitated electrode structure 201.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 In order to be in Figure 2 The schematic diagram is based on the structure. A dielectric material layer (not shown) is formed on the substrate 200. The dielectric material layer uniformly covers the surface of the substrate 200 and the sidewall and top surfaces of the interdigitated electrode structure 201. The dielectric material layer is heat-treated to solidify the dielectric material layer and form the dielectric layer 301. The top surface of the dielectric layer 301 is a flat surface.

[0063] The thickness of the dielectric layer 301 is greater than the thickness of the interdigitated electrode structure 201, and the top surface of the dielectric layer 301 is a flat surface.

[0064] The dielectric material layer is liquid, which allows it to flow uniformly on the substrate 200 and the interdigitated electrode structure 201, resulting in a dielectric layer 301 with a flat top surface for subsequent temperature compensation layer formation. This ensures a flat surface for the temperature compensation structure, preventing uneven surfaces that could increase insertion loss in the surface acoustic wave resonator and improving its performance.

[0065] In this embodiment, the method for forming the dielectric material layer includes spin coating; the method for heat-treating the dielectric material layer includes baking and curing; wherein the baking temperature range is 100 degrees Celsius to 300 degrees Celsius, and the curing temperature range is 300 degrees Celsius to 500 degrees Celsius.

[0066] In this embodiment, the dielectric layer 301 is made of a material with a positive temperature coefficient of frequency, and the dielectric layer 301 can also compensate for the piezoelectric substrate with a negative temperature coefficient.

[0067] In this embodiment, the thickness of the temperature compensation structure is 2 to 4 times the thickness of the interdigitated electrode structure 201.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 6 A temperature compensation layer 302 is formed on the dielectric layer 301.

[0069] Please refer to the formation process of the temperature compensation layer 302. Figure 3 This will not be elaborated upon here.

[0070] Since the dielectric layer 301 is formed first, the temperature compensation layer 302 does not need to be thick, which can avoid depositing an excessively thick temperature compensation layer, solve the stress concentration problem, and prevent the temperature compensation layer from cracking.

[0071] In this embodiment, the dielectric layer 301 is made of a material with a positive frequency temperature coefficient.

[0072] In this embodiment, the thickness of the temperature compensation structure is 2 to 4 times the thickness of the interdigitated electrode structure 201; the thickness of the temperature compensation layer 302 is 1.5 to 3 times the thickness of the interdigitated electrode structure 201.
