[0038] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described and explained through specific embodiments below. However, the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto.

[0039] Figure 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a bonded substrate provided by the first embodiment of the present application;

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4 In the first embodiment, the bonded substrate includes a support substrate 10, a low acoustic velocity layer 30 and a piezoelectric substrate 50.

[0041] The support substrate 10 is preferably made of a high acoustic velocity material, which has a higher acoustic velocity than the piezoelectric substrate. Specifically, the support substrate 10 is made of a high acoustic velocity material, so that the support substrate 10 not only supports the piezoelectric substrate 50, but also transmits signals as a high acoustic velocity medium. The material of the support substrate 10 can be silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, sapphire, silicon nitride, silicon, quartz, diamond, spinel, magnesium oxide, or a suitable material thereof. The thickness of the support substrate 10 is preferably 100 μm to 1000 μm, such as 200 μm to 800 μm, or 300 μm to 700 μm. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, the support substrate 10 has a first surface 10a and a second surface 10b opposite to the first surface 10a, and the support substrate 10 has a low acoustic velocity layer 30 in a near-surface layer close to the first surface 10a. The low acoustic velocity layer 30 has a porous structure with a pore diameter of 5 nm or more and 200 nm or less. Thus, the substrate material of the support substrate 10 is a high acoustic velocity region, and the porous structure with the pore diameter in the support substrate 10 is a low acoustic velocity region, thereby forming a Bragg reflection structure of high and low acoustic velocity regions. In this way, the energy of the elastic wave is concentrated on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate 50, and the energy of the elastic wave is effectively limited from leaking to the support substrate, thereby obtaining a higher quality factor Q, improving the characteristics of the elastic wave, and reducing the loss.

[0042] In some embodiments, the thickness of the low acoustic velocity layer is 0.1λ to λ, which can be 0.1λ, 0.3λ, 0.5λ, 0.7λ, or a point value between any two of the above, and the thickness of the high acoustic velocity material layer is 0.1λ to λ, which can be 0.1λ, 0.3λ, 0.5λ, 0.7λ, or a point value between any two of the above, and λ is the wavelength of the elastic wave. Preferably, the total thickness of the Bragg reflection layer 3 is 0.1λ to 10λ, and λ is the wavelength of the elastic wave. In the above thickness range, the size requirement of the device can be better met, and the energy of the elastic wave can be effectively limited on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate 50. More preferably, the general acoustic velocity of the high acoustic velocity region is more than 3 times the acoustic velocity of the low acoustic velocity region, so as to better meet the adaptability of the device.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 7 The support substrate 10, the Bragg reflection layer 3, and the piezoelectric substrate 50 are shown in the second embodiment of the present application.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 7As shown, the support substrate 10 has a first surface 10a and a second surface 10b opposite to the first surface 10a, and the support substrate 10 has a Bragg reflection layer 3 in a near-surface layer close to the first surface 10a; the Bragg reflection layer 3 has alternating low-velocity layers 30 and high-velocity material layers 31, at this time, the surface layer of the support substrate 10 has a high-velocity material layer 31 composed of a high-velocity support substrate material, and a low-velocity layer 30 with a porous structure; and the number of high-velocity material layers 31 in the support substrate 10 is ≥1, and the number of low-velocity layers is ≥1, thereby forming a low-velocity layer 30 with a porous structure in the support substrate 10, and the Bragg reflection structure of the high-velocity support substrate material as the high-velocity material layer 31 can effectively concentrate the energy of the elastic wave on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate 50, limit the leakage of the elastic wave energy to the support substrate, thereby obtaining a higher quality factor Q, improving the elastic wave characteristics, and reducing the loss;

[0045] In some preferred embodiments, the Bragg reflection layer 3 includes 2-10 low-velocity layers and 2-10 high-velocity material layers; it is worth noting that a single low-velocity layer with a porous structure in the Bragg reflection structure of the high- and low-velocity zones formed by the support substrate 10 is relatively insufficient in limiting the energy escaping from the piezoelectric substrate 50, and if the low-velocity layer with a porous structure and the high-velocity material layer have too many layers, the number of layers of the Bragg reflection layer 3 formed is too large, which easily affects the sound velocity of the support substrate, therefore, when the number of layers of each of them is between 2-10, a better performance of the elastic wave device can be achieved. Furthermore, preferably, the farther the low-velocity layer 30 is from the first surface 10a, the greater the thickness of the low-velocity layer 30, which can make it have a better limiting effect; in some embodiments, in terms of alternating low-velocity layers 30 and high-velocity material layers 31, the farther the low-velocity layer 30 and the high-velocity material layer 31 are from the first surface 10a, the greater the thickness of the low-velocity layer 30 and the high-velocity material layer 31; it should be noted that the high-velocity material layer 31 can be composed of the Bragg reflection layer 3 by adjusting the position of the low-velocity layer 30 in the support substrate 10, thereby cooperating with the high-velocity material layer 31 formed by the original support substrate 10, or it can be formed by other means to form the low-velocity layer 30 and the high-velocity material layer 31, such as forming the low-velocity layer 30 with a porous structure by invisible engraving.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 9The support substrate 10 of the third embodiment of the present application is different from the first embodiment in that a temperature compensation layer 40 is arranged on the first surface 10a of the support substrate 10, and a piezoelectric substrate 50 is arranged on the temperature compensation layer 40. The material of the temperature compensation layer 40 can be SiO2, etc. The structure of the support substrate 10 of the present application can improve the temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) and suppress the stray signal, thereby further improving the performance of the device. For example Figure 11 The fourth embodiment of the present application is different from the second embodiment in that a temperature compensation layer 40 is arranged on the first surface 10a of the support substrate 10.

[0047] In some embodiments, the total thickness of the temperature compensation layer 40 and the Bragg reflection layer 3 is 0.1λ-10λ, where λ is the wavelength of the elastic wave. For example, the thickness of the temperature compensation layer 40 is 0.25λ, and the thickness of the Bragg reflection layer 3 is 0.5λ.

[0048] Referring to Figures 1-4 , a method for preparing the bonded substrate of the first embodiment of the present application is provided, which comprises the following steps:

[0049] Step 1, referring to Figure 1 , a support substrate 10 is provided, which has a first surface 10a and a second surface 10b opposite to the first surface 10a. Preferably, the support substrate 10 is polished and cleaned to meet the conditions for subsequent bonding of the support substrate and the piezoelectric substrate.

[0050] Step 2, referring to Figure 2 , an ion implantation layer 20 is formed in the near-surface layer of the support substrate 10 close to the first surface 10a by ion implantation. In this embodiment, nitrogen ions are implanted from the first surface 10a of the support substrate 10 by ion implantation to form an ion implantation layer 20.

[0051] It is worth noting that the thickness of the ion implantation layer 20 can be determined by the dose of ion implantation, and the distance from the first surface 10a can be determined by adjusting the implantation depth, i.e. controlling the distance between the ion implantation layer 20 and the first surface 10a, thereby controlling the thickness and depth of the ion implantation layer 20 formed by multiple implantations. The ions are generally selected from gas ions, such as nitrogen ions, hydrogen ions, etc. In some embodiments, the ion implantation includes single implantation (as shown in Figure 2 ) and multiple implantations (as shown in Figure 5In the second embodiment shown, a plurality of ion implantation layers 20 at different depths are formed in the near-surface layer of the support substrate 10 close to the first surface 10a by ion implantation, so that a plurality of Bragg reflection layers 3 with high and low sound velocities are formed without overlapping each other;

[0052] Step 3, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the annealing process forms a low sound velocity layer 30 with a porous structure; specifically, the support substrate 10 with the ion implantation layer 20 formed in step 2 is heated with a controlled temperature gradient; in some embodiments of the present application, the temperature gradient of the heating process is ≤1.3 (≤1.3℃ per minute), and the temperature is kept constant at 1200-1500℃ for 1-6 hours. This step can provide the ions in the ion implantation layer of the support substrate 10 with enough energy to break the bonds between them and form a porous structure with a pore diameter of 5-200nm. Figures 5-6 If multiple ion implantation processes are performed to form ion implantation layers 20 at different depths and with the same / different thicknesses, a plurality of low sound velocity layers 30 at different depths and with the same / different thicknesses can be obtained after the annealing process of the present application.

[0053] Step 4, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the support substrate 10 is bonded to the piezoelectric substrate 50 by bonding to form a composite substrate. The bonding method can be direct bonding, anodic bonding, low-temperature bonding, vacuum bonding, plasma-enhanced bonding, etc. For example, in the direct bonding method, the two wafers with hydrophilic surfaces are brought close to each other, and the hydroxyl groups (OH - ) naturally attached to the surfaces are attracted to each other by Van der Waals force (intermolecular force) to form a bonded body. The bonded substrate is heated under normal pressure by controlling the temperature gradient. In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature gradient of the heating process is ≤1.3 (≤1.3℃ per minute). The temperature is kept constant at 50-250℃ for a certain period of time. In this process, the hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the bonding surface generate oxygen bonds (-O-) through a chemical reaction, so that the bonding force of the bonded substrate is greatly improved. Preferably, before bonding, the piezoelectric substrate 50 is polished and cleaned to meet the conditions for bonding the support substrate and the piezoelectric substrate.

[0054] Step 5, the bonded piezoelectric substrate 50 is polished to a suitable thickness by chemical mechanical polishing, and finally a Figure 4 or Figure 7 bonded substrate as shown is obtained.

[0055] In detail, for the first embodiment, a sapphire substrate (500 μm thick) is selected as the support substrate 10. After polishing and cleaning, the surface meets the bonding conditions. A layer of nitrogen ions is implanted from the bonding surface of the sapphire substrate (i.e., the first surface 10a of the support substrate 10) using ion implantation, with an implantation dose of 8 × 10⁻⁶. 13 ions / cm 2 The implantation depth is 160nm;

[0056] Then, it was heated at a temperature gradient of 1°C per minute and held at 1400°C for 3 hours. (Reference) Figure 12 TEM results show that a low-velocity layer 30 with a porous structure has appeared on the bonding surface of the sapphire substrate. The adjacent high-velocity material layer 31 (i.e., the supporting substrate 10) can serve as a high-velocity region, forming the simplest Bragg reflection structure.

[0057] In some embodiments, refer to respectively Figures 8-9 and Figures 10-11 In an embodiment, between steps 3 and 4, a temperature compensation layer 40 can be formed on the first surface 10a of the support substrate 10 using methods such as spin coating, vapor deposition, magnetron sputtering, or chemical vapor deposition. This layer is used to improve the temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) and suppress stray signals, ultimately achieving the desired result. Figure 9 or Figure 11 The bonding substrate shown.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 18 The bonding substrate shown in the fifth embodiment of the present invention includes: a support substrate 10, a low-velocity layer 30, and a piezoelectric substrate 50; the support substrate 10 has a near-surface layer close to the first surface 10a containing parallel patterned low-velocity layers 30 and non-low-velocity layers 32. Specifically, in this embodiment, the top view of the support substrate 10 is as follows: Figure 17 As shown in (B) in the figure, its side view is as follows Figure 17 As shown in (A), the low-velocity layer 30 and the non-low-velocity layer 32 extend in a strip along a first direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) and are arranged alternately in parallel along a second direction (e.g., the y-axis direction). The first direction and the second direction are intersected. This structural design can further enhance the ability to suppress noise, thereby improving the performance of the device. The non-low-velocity layer 32 can be formed using a high-velocity material, such as directly composed of the high-velocity material of the supporting substrate 10 in this embodiment, or it can be formed using other functional materials.

[0059] In some embodiments, each of the low acoustic velocity layer 30 has a width of 0.1λ to λ, which can be 0.1λ, 0.3λ, 0.5λ, 0.7λ, or a point value between any two of the above; and / or each of the non-low acoustic velocity layer 32 has a width of 0.1λ to λ, which can be 0.1λ, 0.3λ, 0.5λ, 0.7λ, or a point value between any two of the above, the λ being the wavelength of the elastic wave.

[0060] Based on the foregoing embodiments, on the basis of the fifth embodiment, a temperature compensation layer 40 can also be provided on the first surface 10a of the support substrate 10, which plays a role in improving the frequency temperature coefficient (TCF, temperature coefficient of frequency) and suppressing stray signals, thereby improving the performance of the device.

[0061] Referring to Figures 13-18 , a method for preparing the bonded substrate of the fifth embodiment of the present application is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0062] Step 1, referring to Figure 13 , a support substrate 10 is provided, which has a first surface 10a and a second surface 10b opposite to the first surface 10a; preferably, the support substrate 10 is polished and cleaned to meet the conditions for subsequent bonding of the support substrate and the piezoelectric substrate;

[0063] Step 2, referring to Figure 14 , a patterned mask 2 is formed on the support substrate 10, which has an opening exposing part of the first surface 10a of the support substrate 10, so as to form a parallel patterned distribution of low acoustic velocity layers 30 and non-low acoustic velocity layers 32 after ion implantation; specifically, a long strip-shaped mask with a line width of 0.1λ to λ, i.e. a patterned mask 2, can be formed on the support substrate 10 by dry etching or wet etching;

[0064] Step 3, referring to Figure 15 , ion implantation is performed to form an ion implantation layer 20 in the near-surface layer of the support substrate 10 close to the first surface 10a; in this embodiment, nitrogen ions are implanted from the first surface 10a of the support substrate 10 by ion implantation to form one or more ion implantation layers 20; as shown in Figure X , since part of the ions are blocked by the patterned mask 2 and cannot be implanted into the support substrate 10, the resulting overhead effect after ion implantation is a strip-shaped ion implantation structure, and then the patterned mask 2 is washed away.

[0065] The annealing treatment of step 4 and the mechanical polishing of step 5 are the same as the method of the foregoing first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

The interdigital transducer 60a includes a pair of comb electrodes 60c arranged opposite to each other.
