[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the embodiments of the present application. It is known to those skilled in the art that with the development of technology and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0055] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0056] With the rapid development of communication technology, the demand for new frequency bands is increasing. Especially under the leadership of the fifth generation of mobile communication technology (5G), communication systems need to support a wider range of frequency bands and meet higher performance requirements. 5G networks introduce multiple new frequency bands, such as millimeter wave bands, which have a bandwidth far exceeding that of previous generations of technology, providing higher data transmission rates and lower latency. These new frequency bands pose higher challenges and requirements to communication systems, including higher frequency accuracy, lower signal interference, and greater bandwidth support.

[0057] In this context, the quality factor of the acoustic wave resonator has become a key factor in improving system performance. The high quality factor of the acoustic wave resonator can effectively improve the performance of the filter, reduce insertion loss, enhance out-of-band suppression, and improve signal stability and clarity. In addition, the quality factor of the acoustic wave resonator directly affects the selectivity and bandwidth characteristics of the filter, which in turn affects the performance of the overall RF system. In order to cope with the high-frequency band requirements brought by the new frequency band and ensure the efficient operation of the communication system, it is particularly important to design and manufacture acoustic wave resonators with higher quality factors. This not only helps to improve the performance of the filter, but also improves the overall stability and reliability of the system.

[0058] In the process of increasing the frequency of the traditional interdigital acoustic wave resonator, the interdigital electrodes will shrink, which will increase the resistance of the interdigital electrodes. The larger resistance will seriously deteriorate the quality factor, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the acoustic wave resonator. Therefore, how to improve the quality factor of the acoustic wave resonator in the process of increasing the frequency is an urgent problem that technicians in this field need to solve.

[0059] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an acoustic wave resonator, comprising:

[0060] substrate;

[0061] A piezoelectric layer disposed on a surface of a substrate;

[0062] An acoustic velocity compensation layer is arranged on a surface of the piezoelectric layer facing away from the substrate, and the acoustic velocity compensation layer has a plurality of grooves arranged in sequence along a first direction; the first direction is parallel to the plane where the piezoelectric layer is located;

[0063] The interdigitated electrode is formed on the surface of the piezoelectric layer away from the substrate based on the acoustic velocity compensation layer with grooves; the interdigitated electrode includes a plurality of fingers arranged one by one corresponding to the grooves; the fingers are in electrical contact with the piezoelectric layer based on the corresponding grooves.

[0064] In the acoustic wave resonator provided in the embodiment of the present application, the sound velocity compensation layer, the interdigital electrodes and the piezoelectric layer can be formed into an integral waveguide, and the interdigital electrodes can more effectively participate in the propagation of the acoustic wave, and can reduce the energy dissipation caused by scattering. Therefore, when the acoustic wave resonator increases the frequency, it is not necessary to reduce the size of the interdigital electrodes, and the resistance of the interdigital electrodes will not be increased, which can avoid the reduction of the quality factor of the acoustic wave resonator, and can effectively improve the performance of the acoustic wave resonator, thereby realizing a high-quality acoustic wave resonator.

[0065] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0066] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an acoustic wave resonator provided in an embodiment of the present application, the acoustic wave resonator includes:

[0067] Substrate 1;

[0068] A piezoelectric layer 2 is arranged on the surface of the substrate 1;

[0069] The acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 is arranged on the surface of the piezoelectric layer 2 facing away from the substrate 1, and the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 has a plurality of grooves 41 arranged in sequence along a first direction x; the first direction x is parallel to the plane where the piezoelectric layer 2 is located;

[0070] The interdigitated electrode 3 is formed on the surface of the piezoelectric layer 2 facing away from the substrate 1 based on the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 having grooves 41; the interdigitated electrode 3 includes a plurality of fingers 30 arranged one by one corresponding to the grooves 41; the fingers 30 are in electrical contact with the piezoelectric layer 2 based on the corresponding grooves 41.

[0071] In the acoustic wave resonator provided in the embodiment of the present application, since the interdigitated electrodes 3 are prepared based on the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 having the grooves 41, the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4, the interdigitated electrodes 3 and the piezoelectric layer 2 can be constructed into an integral waveguide. Based on the integral waveguide, the interdigitated electrodes 3 can more effectively participate in the propagation of the acoustic wave, and the energy scattering caused by scattering can be reduced. Therefore, the technical solution of the present application can increase the frequency without reducing the size of the interdigitated electrodes 3, and the resistance of the interdigitated electrodes 3 will not increase, which can avoid the reduction of the quality factor of the acoustic wave resonator, and can effectively improve the performance of the acoustic wave resonator, thereby realizing a high-quality acoustic wave resonator.

[0072] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the sound velocity of the sound velocity compensation layer 4 is set to be no less than the sound velocity of the piezoelectric layer 2 and the interdigital electrode 3, that is, the sound velocity of the sound velocity compensation layer 4 is greater than or equal to the sound velocity of the piezoelectric layer 2, and greater than or equal to the sound velocity of the interdigital electrode 3.

[0073] If the sound velocity of the sound velocity compensation layer 4 is less than the sound velocity of the piezoelectric layer 2 and the interdigital electrode 3, the propagation speed of the sound wave in the acoustic wave resonator cannot be effectively adjusted. In the embodiment of the present application, the sound velocity of the sound velocity compensation layer 4 is set to be not less than the sound velocity of the piezoelectric layer 2 and the interdigital electrode 3, so that the overall waveguide constructed by the sound velocity compensation layer 4, the interdigital electrode 3 and the piezoelectric layer 2 can better adjust the propagation speed of the sound wave in the acoustic wave resonator, which can effectively improve the performance of the acoustic wave resonator.

[0074] The shear mode sound velocity of the metal material used to prepare the interdigital electrodes 3 is set to V1, the shear mode sound velocity of the piezoelectric material used to prepare the piezoelectric layer 2 is set to V2, and the sound velocity of the sound velocity compensation layer 4 is set to V0.

[0075] If V1>V2, then V0≥V2, if V1<V2, then V0≥V1. In this method, V0 is not less than the smaller one of V1 and V2. At this time, V0 can be between V1 and V2, or V0 is greater than V1 and greater than V2.

[0076] When V0 is not less than the smaller of V1 and V2, if V0 is between V1 and V2, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the acoustic wave resonator can be Larger. The larger the value of is, the larger the bandwidth of the acoustic wave resonator is and the better the passband rectangularity is. This method can better optimize the bandwidth performance of the acoustic wave resonator.

[0077] When V0 is not less than the smaller one of V1 and V2, if V0 is greater than V1 and greater than V2, the operating frequency of the acoustic wave resonator can be greatly increased. This method can improve the high-frequency performance of the acoustic wave resonator.

[0078] The thickness and material density of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 and the thickness and material density of the interdigital electrodes 3 satisfy a matching relationship, so that the acoustic wave resonator has a higher operating frequency.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to facilitate the process of preparing the interdigital electrode 3, the thickness of each finger 30 in the interdigital electrode 3 can be set to be the same.

[0080] The thickness of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 can be set to h1, and the material density of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 can be set to ρ1; the thickness of the interdigital electrode 3 can be set to h2, and the material density of the interdigital electrode can be set to ρ2. The thickness and material density of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 and the thickness and material density of the interdigital electrode 3 satisfy the matching relationship shown in the following formula (1).

[0081] (1)

[0082] Among them, A is a set constant.

[0083] It is easy to know that the sound velocity compensation layer 4 is an insulating material, and the interdigital electrode 3 is a conductive material. For the interdigital electrode 3 with a given material and thickness, based on the above formula (1), it can be known that the material density ρ1 and the thickness h1 of the sound velocity compensation layer 4 need to have an inverse relationship, and the inverse coefficient is A, so that the performance of the acoustic wave resonator can be better optimized through the sound velocity compensation layer 4, the sound wave propagation speed can be better adjusted, the bandwidth of the acoustic wave resonator can be better adjusted, and the acoustic performance can be better improved.

[0084] For the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 and the interdigital electrode 3 with determined materials, the material densities of the two are determined values, that is, ρ1 and ρ2 are constants that can be determined. At this time, the thickness of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 and the interdigital electrode 3 can be adjusted, that is, the values ​​of h1 and h2 can be adjusted, so that the thickness and material density of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 and the thickness and material density of the interdigital electrode 3 satisfy the matching relationship shown in the following formula (1), so that the acoustic wave resonator has a higher operating frequency.

[0085] Based on the above formula (1), it can be known that in the embodiment of the present application, the thickness values ​​of the sound velocity compensation layer 4 and the interdigital electrode 3 can be pre-set, that is, the values ​​of h1 and h2 can be pre-given. Under the given h1 and h2, the sound velocity compensation layer 4 and the interdigital electrode 3 whose material density satisfies the above matching relationship are selected, and by adjusting ρ1 and / or ρ2, the thickness and material density of the sound velocity compensation layer 4 and the thickness and material density of the interdigital electrode 3 can satisfy the matching relationship shown in the following formula (1), so that the acoustic wave resonator has a higher operating frequency.

[0086] It can be seen from the above description that in the embodiment of the present application, by adjusting at least one of h1, h2, ρ1 and ρ2, the thickness and material density of the sound velocity compensation layer 4 and the thickness and material density of the interdigital electrode 3 can satisfy the matching relationship shown in the following formula (1), so that the acoustic wave resonator has a higher operating frequency.

[0087] Optionally, 2≤A≤10. The inventors have found that when 2≤A≤10, the acoustic wave resonator can have a higher operating frequency. If the value of A is less than 2 or greater than 10, the operating frequency of the acoustic wave resonator will be lower.

[0088] In one implementation of the present application, the Figure 1 As shown, it is set that h1<h2.

[0089] In the acoustic wave resonator provided in the embodiment of the present application, the thickness h1 of the interdigital electrode 3 and the depth of the groove 41 can be adjusted based on usage requirements, and the thickness h1 of the interdigital electrode 3 and the depth of the groove 41 can be adaptively increased to optimize the performance of the acoustic wave resonator.

[0090] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of another acoustic wave resonator provided in an embodiment of the present application, in Figure 2 In the method shown, h1=h2.

[0091] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of another acoustic wave resonator provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 In the manner shown, h1>h2.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 and the interdigital electrode 3 are set to satisfy the following relationship:

[0093] (2)

[0094] When the thicknesses of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 and the interdigital electrodes 3 satisfy the above formula (2), the acoustic wave resonator can have a relatively large operating frequency.

[0095] like If it is less than 0.1 or greater than 10, the operating frequency of the acoustic wave resonator will be greatly reduced, which will greatly affect the high-frequency performance of the acoustic wave resonator. Therefore, the thickness of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 and the interdigital electrode 3 can be further set to satisfy the following relationship:

[0096] (3)

[0097] When the thicknesses of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 and the interdigital electrodes 3 satisfy the above formula (3), the acoustic wave resonator can have a relatively large operating frequency.

[0098] When the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 is made of silicon oxide and the thickness ratio of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 to the finger strip 30 is 1:4, that is, , an acoustic wave resonator is used to operate at a frequency of 6.2 gigahertz.

[0099] When the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 is made of silicon oxide and the thickness ratio of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 to the interdigital electrode 3 is 11:4, that is, , the acoustic wave resonator is used to operate at a frequency of 4.6 gigahertz.

[0100] When the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 is made of silicon oxide and the thickness ratio of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 to the interdigital electrode 3 is 5:2, that is, , an acoustic wave resonator is used to operate at a frequency of 6.9 gigahertz.

[0101] When the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 is made of silicon nitride and the thickness ratio of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 to the interdigital electrode 3 is 2:1, that is, , the acoustic wave resonator is used to operate at a frequency of 7.8 gigahertz.

[0102] When the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 is made of silicon carbide and the thickness ratio of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 to the interdigital electrode 3 is 3:1, that is, , the acoustic wave resonator is used to operate at a frequency of 8.4 gigahertz.

[0103] When the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 is made of zinc oxide and the thickness ratio of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 to the interdigital electrode 3 is 2:1, that is, , the acoustic wave resonator is used to operate at a frequency of 7.6 gigahertz.

[0104] When the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 is made of aluminum oxide and the thickness ratio of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 to the interdigital electrode 3 is 9:4, that is, , the acoustic wave resonator is used to operate at a frequency of 8.6 gigahertz.

[0105] The inventors have found that, as shown in the test results of the above seven groups of comparative experimental examples, the thickness ratio of the acoustic velocity compensation layer 4 and the interdigital electrode 3 has a great influence on the operating frequency of the acoustic wave resonator. By adjusting the ratio of the thicknesses of the two, the high-frequency working performance of the acoustic wave resonator can be optimized.

[0106] Based on the above description, it can be seen that when When , the acoustic wave resonator can have a larger operating frequency.

[0107] In other implementations, it is also possible to set Although the frequency is reduced to a certain extent at this time, it can be used in work scenarios with lower requirements for high-frequency work.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, the groove 41 may be a rectangular groove. In this case, Figure 1-Figure 3 In any of the embodiments shown, in the direction from the substrate 1 to the piezoelectric layer 2 , the width of the groove 41 remains constant.

[0109] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of another acoustic wave resonator provided in an embodiment of the present application, based on the above implementation, Figure 4 In the manner shown, the width of the groove 41 gradually increases in the direction from the substrate 1 to the piezoelectric layer 2. In this manner, the groove 41 may be an inverted trapezoidal groove, the bottom width of the groove 41 is the smallest, the top opening width of the groove 41 is the largest, and the size of the groove 41 in the first direction x gradually increases from the bottom of the groove 41 to the top opening.

[0110] like Figure 4 As shown, in the direction from the substrate 1 to the piezoelectric layer 2, if the width of the groove 41 gradually increases, the interdigitated electrode 3 can cover the shaped film on the surface of the groove 41. At this time, h1>h2, and the shaped film covers the bottom of the groove 41 and at least part of the side wall.

[0111] Furthermore, you can Figure 4 As shown, a shaped film is provided to cover the side wall of the groove 41 and extends to the outside of the groove 41 to cover part of the upper surface of the sound velocity compensation layer 4. The fingers 30 in two adjacent grooves 41 in the first direction x are provided with an isolation gap 5 on the upper surface of the sound velocity compensation layer 4 between the two grooves 41 to prevent the two adjacent fingers 30 in the first direction x from short-circuiting.

[0112] exist Figure 4 In the manner shown, h1>h2 is used as an example for illustration. In the direction from the substrate 1 to the piezoelectric layer 2, if the width of the groove 41 gradually increases, the structure of the acoustic wave resonator can also be as follows: Figure 5 or Figure 6 shown.

[0113] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of another acoustic wave resonator provided in an embodiment of the present application, based on the above implementation, Figure 5 In the manner shown, in the direction from the substrate 1 to the piezoelectric layer 2 , the width of the groove 41 gradually increases, and h1=h2.

[0114] refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of another acoustic wave resonator provided in an embodiment of the present application, based on the above implementation, Figure 6In the manner shown, in the direction from the substrate 1 to the piezoelectric layer 2, the width of the groove 41 gradually increases, and h1<h2.

[0115] In the direction from the substrate 1 to the piezoelectric layer 2, if the width of the groove 41 gradually increases, the two opposite side walls of the groove 41 in the first direction x can have an inclination angle a relative to the plane where the piezoelectric layer 2 is located.
