Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a bulk acoustic wave resonator, and more particularly to a bulk acoustic wave resonator based on an acoustic reflection structure and its fabrication method, belonging to the field of semiconductor technology. Background Technology

[0002] Thin-film bulk acoustic wave (BAWR) filters are considered the preferred option for miniaturized high-frequency (≥2GHz) filters due to their lower insertion loss, steeper roll-off, and better out-of-band rejection. They consist of series and parallel BAWRs, with a basic structure consisting of a lower electrode / piezoelectric material / upper electrode sandwich.

[0003] Regular rectangular or square electrodes can introduce parasitic modes between the series resonant frequency (fs) and the parallel resonant frequency (fp), causing impedance abrupt changes in the resonator and further affecting the in-band ripple of filters composed of this type of resonator. A common solution is to use irregular electrode structures, such as irregular quadrilaterals, pentagons, and irregular polygons with more sides, or even ellipses. However, irregular electrode structures result in lower chip area utilization and greater difficulty in layout when connecting chips in series and parallel configurations. Summary of the Invention

At least one of the first electrode, the piezoelectric layer, and the second electrode has an acoustic reflection structure at its edge. The acoustic reflection structure includes at least one protrusion and / or at least one recess at the edge. The protrusion extends along a first direction, and the recess is recessed along a second direction. The first direction is parallel to the film plane of the piezoelectric layer and gradually moves away from the edge. The second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0007] This invention also provides a method for fabricating the aforementioned bulk acoustic resonator, comprising:

[0008] A first electrode, a piezoelectric layer, and a second electrode are sequentially fabricated on a substrate in a stacked configuration.

[0023] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the inventors of this invention, through long-term research and extensive practice, have proposed the technical solution of this invention. The following will further explain and illustrate this technical solution, its implementation process, and its principles.

[0024] The inventors of this case have discovered that acoustic reflection structures (also known as acoustic structures) such as polygons such as triangles or arcs such as fan shapes can change the direction of transverse wave propagation in a chip and can effectively suppress the formation of transverse standing waves. By setting such acoustic reflection structures at the edges of regular-shaped bulk acoustic resonators, parasitic mode interference in the device can be reduced, and high-performance BAWR devices can be obtained.

A portion of the edge portion of at least one of the first electrode, the piezoelectric layer, and the second electrode is removed to form at least one protrusion and / or at least one recess, thereby forming an acoustic reflection structure; the protrusion extends along a first direction, the recess is recessed along a second direction, the first direction is parallel to the film plane of the piezoelectric layer and gradually moves away from the direction of the edge portion, and the second direction is opposite to the first direction; A portion of the piezoelectric layer and the second electrode are removed to form a through-hole exposing the first electrode, and a resonant cavity is formed within the substrate.

25. The preparation method according to claim 24, characterized in that, Also includes: A portion of the edge portion of at least one of the first electrode, the piezoelectric layer, and the second electrode is removed to form at least one through-hole, thereby forming an acoustic reflection structure.
