Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of piezoelectric acoustic wave devices and relates to a transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator with improved power tolerance and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the popularization and continuous development of 5G, the market demand for high-power equipment has gradually increased, and with the continuous reduction of chip size, the power density of front-end modules has reached a higher level. This also puts higher requirements on the power resistance characteristics of microwave acoustic filters, which are an important component of the RF front end. In order to ensure the best performance of acoustic filters under high-power conditions, it is necessary to improve the power resistance of acoustic filters. The resonator is the basic unit of the acoustic filter. As a high-frequency application resonator, the suspended Lamb wave resonator (XBAR) is inevitably accompanied by the problem of poor power resistance.
[0003] When XBAR is working, it will generate energy loss due to the properties of the material itself, and most of this loss is converted into heat energy. With the miniaturization of devices, continuous operation can easily cause heat accumulation and lead to excessive device temperature, resulting in reduced device insertion loss and worse roll-off coefficient, and also causing the device to deviate from the normal operating frequency band. In addition, since the interdigital electrodes cannot work for a long time at high temperatures, high temperatures will cause a sharp increase in thermal stress, increase the force load on the edges of the interdigital fingers, and in severe cases damage the interdigital fingers, causing device failure. Therefore, during the device design process, it is necessary to focus on improving the device's power resistance performance. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator with improved power tolerance and its application. The transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator has the characteristic of high power tolerance. The method of the present invention to improve the power tolerance of the device is to increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the resonator. By adding an efficient heat conduction path, the heat generated during its operation is more efficiently conducted out of the resonance area, avoiding device failure caused by excessive temperature, and this method can still ensure the excellent acoustic performance of the resonator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0065] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below by specific implementation methods. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments are only to help understand the present invention and should not be regarded as specific limitations of the present invention.
[0066] Example 1
[0067] This embodiment provides a transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator, the top view of which is as shown in FIG. Figure 1a As shown, it includes a support region 1, a resonance region 2 and an anchor 3; the side view of the transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator is shown in Figure 1bAs shown, it is in a "Π" shape, the support area 1 is located at both ends of the transverse excitation bulk acoustic wave resonator, the resonance area 2 and the anchor 3 are both located between the support areas 1 at both ends, the resonance area 2 is connected to the support areas 1 at both ends through the anchor 3, and a cavity is further provided below the resonance area 2 and the anchor 3, which is located between the support areas 1 at both ends;
[0068] The side view of the support area 1 is as follows Figure 1c As shown, it includes a PML layer 11, a Si substrate 12, a third thermal conductive material layer 13, a third piezoelectric material layer 14 and a second metal layer 15 which are stacked in sequence;
[0069] The side view of the resonance region 2 is as follows Figure 1d As shown, it includes a composite film and 10 pairs of interdigital metal electrodes 23 (also including busbars) on the surface of the composite film, the composite film includes a first thermal conductive material layer 21 and a first piezoelectric material layer 22 stacked, wherein the interdigital metal electrodes 23 are arranged on the surface of the first piezoelectric material layer 22, the thickness of the composite film is H, the thickness ratio of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 to the first piezoelectric material layer 22 is rh, the material of the interdigital metal electrodes 23 is Al, the thickness of the interdigital metal electrodes 23 does not exceed 0.1λ, λ is the wavelength of the resonator, and the metallization rate is 0.35;
[0070] The side view of the anchor 3 is as follows Figure 1e As shown, the anchor 3 includes a second thermal conductive material layer 31, a second piezoelectric material layer 32 and a first metal layer 33 which are stacked in sequence, and the width of the anchor 3 is half of the width of the resonance region 2;
[0071] The first thermal conductive material layer 21, the second thermal conductive material layer 31 and the third thermal conductive material layer 13 are made of the same material, which is Si, SiC or Diamond. The first thermal conductive material layer 21, the second thermal conductive material layer 31 and the third thermal conductive material layer 13 correspond to each other, are on the same horizontal plane, and have the same thickness; the first piezoelectric material layer 22, the second piezoelectric material layer 32 and the third piezoelectric material layer 14 are made of LiNbO3, correspond to each other, are on the same horizontal plane, and have the same thickness; the first metal layer 33 and the second metal layer 15 are both metal aluminum layers, corresponding to the interdigitated metal electrodes 23, are on the same horizontal plane, and have the same thickness.
[0072] When the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is Si, the thickness of the composite film is H is 0.4 μm, and rh=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5, the admittance diagram of the transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator is as follows: Figure 2As shown; when the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is SiC, the thickness of the composite film is H is 0.4 μm, and rh = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5, the admittance schematic diagram of the transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator is as shown Figure 3 As shown; when the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is Diamond, the thickness of the composite film is H is 0.4 μm, and rh = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5, the admittance diagram of the transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator is as shown Figure 4 As shown by Figure 2-Figure 4 It can be seen that adding high thermal conductivity materials (Si, SiC or Diamond) increases the operating frequency of the resonator, but as the thickness ratio (rh) increases, the spurious mode also increases. Figure 2 , Figure 3 The resonance point splitting in the middle curve is caused by the spurious mode being too close to the main mode, which can be eliminated by optimizing the structure.
[0073] When the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is Si, the total thickness H of the composite film and the different thickness ratios rh have an effect on the electromechanical coupling coefficient (K 2 ) The contour map of the impact is shown in Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the contour diagram of the effect of different composite film thickness H and different thickness ratio rh on the sound velocity (Vp) is shown in the figure Figure 6 As shown by Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that when H is less than 0.5 μm and rh is less than 0.3, the resonator coupling coefficient is relatively high (greater than 25.6%). More preferably, when H is less than 0.4 μm and rh is less than 0.25, the resonator coupling coefficient remains above 28.47%.
[0074] When the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is SiC, the effect of different composite film total thickness H and different thickness ratio rh on the electromechanical coupling coefficient (K 2 ) The contour map of the impact is shown in Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the contour diagram of the effect of different composite film thickness H and different thickness ratio rh on the sound velocity (Vp) is shown in the figure Figure 8 As shown by Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen that when H is less than 0.5 μm and rh is less than 0.3, the resonator coupling coefficient is relatively high (greater than 24.72%). More preferably, when H is less than 0.4 μm and rh is less than 0.25, the resonator coupling coefficient remains above 27.8%.
[0075] When the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is diamond, the total thickness H of the composite film and the different thickness ratios rh have an effect on the electromechanical coupling coefficient (K 2 ) The contour map of the impact is shown in Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the contour diagram of the effect of different composite film thickness H and different thickness ratio rh on the sound velocity (Vp) is shown in the figure Fig.10 As shown by Fig. 9 and Fig.10 It can be seen that when H is less than 0.5 μm and rh is less than 0.3, the resonator coupling coefficient is relatively high (greater than 26.3%). More preferably, when H is less than 0.4 μm and rh is less than 0.25, the resonator coupling coefficient remains above 28.42%.
[0076] When the material of the first heat-conducting material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is Si, the thickness of the composite film is H is 0.4 μm, and rh is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5, the peak temperature of the transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator obtained by simulation during operation is as follows: Fig.11 As shown; when the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is SiC, the thickness of the composite film is H is 0.4 μm, and rh = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5, the peak temperature of the lateral excitation bulk acoustic wave resonator obtained by simulation during operation is as follows Fig.12 As shown; when the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is Diamond, the thickness of the composite film is H is 0.4 μm, and rh = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5, the peak temperature of the lateral excitation bulk acoustic wave resonator obtained by simulation during operation is as follows Fig.13 As shown by Figure 11-13 It can be seen that the maximum temperature of the resonator during operation is significantly reduced, because the addition of high thermal conductivity materials provides an efficient path for resonator heat diffusion.
[0077] When the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is SiC, Si and Diamond, when H is 0.4 μm, and rh=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5, the normalized distribution diagram in the Y direction at the highest temperature frequency point is shown in 14, Fig.14 It can be seen that when the substrate is LiNbO3 (rh=0), the heat generated by the resonator accumulates in the center, that is, concentrated in the resonance area 2. When the composite film is used, the heat is effectively diffused and the heat distribution is more uniform.
[0078] When the composite film of this embodiment is made of Si, H is 0.4 μm, and rh=0.1, the peak temperature diagram of the transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator at different input powers obtained by simulation is as follows: Fig.15As shown, when the material of the composite film of this embodiment is SiC, H is 0.4 μm, and rh=0.1, the peak temperature diagram of the lateral excitation bulk acoustic wave resonator under different input powers obtained by simulation is as follows Fig.16 As shown, when the material of the composite film of this embodiment is Diamond, H is 0.4 μm, and rh=0.1, the peak temperature diagram of the lateral excitation BAW resonator under different input powers obtained by simulation is as follows Fig.17 As shown by Figure 15-17 It can be seen that the cooling effect is most obvious when adding Diamond, and the effect of adding Si is the worst. This is related to the thermal conductivity of the material. When the input power is 34dBm, adding Diamond can reduce the resonator temperature to 73.5℃, which is acceptable. For adding SiC and Si, the acceptable powers are around 32dBm and 30dBm respectively. Therefore, when using Diamond, the resonator can withstand a power of 34dBm, and it can withstand a power range of ≤34dBm.
[0079] When the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is SiC, Si and Diamond, when H is 0.4 μm, and when rh=0.1, compared with Comparative Example 1 (when the composite film is only LiNbO3), the temperature reduction effect comparison diagram when working at different input powers is as follows: Fig.18 As shown by Fig.18 It can be seen that compared with adding Si and SiC, the effect of adding Diamond to the composite membrane is the most obvious. When the input power is 36dBm, its maximum cooling efficiency reaches 75.18%. The cooling efficiency of the SiC composite membrane reaches a maximum of 64.48%. The effect of Si is relatively poor, with a maximum efficiency of 54.5%. Therefore, even if the present invention adds less thermal conductive material and even if the rh is smaller, the improvement in power resistance effect is still significant, while maintaining good acoustic properties.
[0080] When the material of the first thermal conductive material layer 21 in the composite film of this embodiment is diamond, when H is 0.4 μm, and when rh=0.1, the admittance diagrams at different input powers are as follows: Fig. 20 As shown by Fig. 20 It can be seen that due to the negative temperature coefficient characteristic of LiNbO3, when the input power increases, its admittance curve will shift to the left, causing it to deviate from the normal operating frequency band. Therefore, the present invention can reduce the impact of the increase in input power on the resonator performance; Fig.19 and Fig. 20It can be seen from the comparison that when the input power increases, the influence of the input power on the admittance of the resonator of this embodiment is significantly reduced. Similarly, adding Si and SiC can also achieve the effect of reducing the influence of the input power on the admittance of the resonator of this embodiment, but compared with Diamond, its effect is relatively reduced ( Fig.18 can be proved in ).
[0081] Comparative Example 1
[0082] This comparative example provides a transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator, which is the same as Example 1 except that it does not include the first heat conductive material layer, the second heat conductive material layer and the third heat conductive material layer;
[0083] The schematic diagram of the admittance of the transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator described in this comparative example is as follows Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, Figure 2-Figure 4 In the case of rh = 0; the peak temperature of the transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator described in this comparative example is as follows Figure 11-13 As shown, Figure 11-13 In the case of rh = 0; the normalized distribution diagram of the lateral excitation bulk acoustic wave resonator in the Y direction at the highest temperature frequency point of this comparative example is as follows Fig.14 As shown, Fig.14 The case where rh=0.
[0084] The peak temperature diagram of the transversely excited BAW resonator at different input powers obtained by this comparative simulation is shown in the figure below: Figure 15-17 As shown, Figure 15-17 The example in the figure shows the case of LN; the admittance diagram of the transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator described in this comparative example when working at different input powers is as follows Fig.19 shown.
[0085] In summary, the present invention provides a transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator with improved power tolerance and its application. The transversely excited bulk acoustic wave resonator has the characteristic of high power tolerance. The present invention improves the power tolerance of the device by increasing the heat dissipation efficiency of the resonator. By adding an efficient heat conduction path, the heat generated during operation is more efficiently conducted out of the resonance area, thereby avoiding device failure caused by excessive temperature. Moreover, this method can still ensure the excellent acoustic performance of the resonator.

Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention are within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
