[0002] A surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator includes a piezoelectric substrate and an interdigital transducer (IDT) formed by interdigital electrodes. Due to the piezoelectric effect, the SAW resonator generates a surface acoustic wave and propagates as a main mode within the electrode grating. This resonant characteristic makes SAW resonators widely used in various acoustic devices. RF filters based on SAW resonators are often used in wireless communication devices. The increased frequency band and the restrictions on utilizing the RF spectrum require the use of SAW devices with excellent performance.
[0003] In a SAW resonator, transverse modes are generated simultaneously with the main mode and propagate in a direction perpendicular to the main mode. Transverse modes tend to distort the frequency response of the resonator, thereby reducing the performance of the resonator or the filter based on the resonator. Summary of the invention

[0010] In some embodiments, the slit penetrates or partially penetrates the IDT finger along the thickness direction of the IDT finger.
[0011] In some embodiments, each of the IDT fingers further includes: a gap region and a piston region; the gap region is located between the main IDT region and the bus bar; the piston region is located between the gap region and the main IDT region, and / or the main IDT region is away from one side of the gap region.

[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0038] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, Figure 1 is a frequency response diagram of a traditional SAW resonator with transverse mode spurious, and Figure 2 is a finite element simulation diagram of the transverse mode resonant frequency and the total response displacement of a traditional SAW resonator. It can be seen that in the traditional SAW resonator, the transverse mode is generated simultaneously with the main mode, and the transverse mode propagates in a direction perpendicular to the main mode.
[0039] An embodiment of the present application provides an electroacoustic transducer, comprising: a piezoelectric substrate and an interdigital transducer, wherein the interdigital transducer is located on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate. Referring to FIG3 , the interdigital transducer comprises a pair of bus bars 10 and two groups of IDT fingers 20 arranged alternately and spaced apart, wherein the two groups of IDT fingers 20 are both located between the pair of bus bars 10 and are arranged alternately and spaced apart along the direction in which the bus bars 10 extend. Each IDT finger 20 comprises a main IDT region 40, and each main IDT region 40 is provided with a slit 30.
[0040] It can be understood that the dotted lines in the drawings are only used to facilitate the distinction between the various parts of the IDT, and are not actual lines in the device.
[0041] In a possible embodiment, there is a certain distance between the slit 30 and the end of the IDT finger 20 away from the corresponding bus bar 10 , and the distance may be 5λ-20λ.
[0042] The electroacoustic transducer comprises a piezoelectric substrate and an interdigital transducer, wherein each IDT finger 20 of the interdigital transducer comprises a main IDT region 40, and each main IDT region 40 is provided with a slit 30. The slit 30 can increase the speed of the SAW in the main IDT region 40 and reduce the reflection from the electrode grating. By adjusting the SAW speed in the main IDT region 40, the transverse mode in the electroacoustic transducer can be effectively suppressed, reducing the influence of the transverse mode on the frequency response of the resonator.
[0043] In some embodiments, the slit 30 is rectangular. It is understood that the shape of the slit 30 can be any shape, including but not limited to a rectangle. The change in the shape of the slit 30 has little effect on the propagation direction of the surface acoustic wave.
[0044] In some embodiments, the width of the slit 30 is smaller than the width of the main IDT region 40. Along the extension direction of the main IDT region 40, the center line of the main IDT region 40 coincides with the center line of the slit 30. The coincidence of the center line of the main IDT region 40 with the center line of the slit 30 means that the slit 30 in the main IDT region 40 is a bilaterally symmetrical structure. If the slit 30 in the main IDT region 40 is an asymmetric structure, it will cause uneven propagation of the surface acoustic wave in the resonator, thereby reducing the performance of the resonator. However, it is worth mentioning that the slit line that is evenly split along the length direction of the IDT finger 20 may have a beneficial effect on the propagation and lateral suppression of the surface acoustic wave.
[0045] In some embodiments, the width of the slit 30 is less than or equal to 1 / 3 of the width of the main IDT region 40 in which it is located. Optionally, the width of the slit 30 is 1 / 10 to 1 / 3 of the width of the main IDT region 40 in which it is located. Further optionally, the width of the slit 30 is 1 / 10, 1 / 9, 1 / 8, 1 / 7, 1 / 6, 1 / 5, 1 / 4 or 1 / 3 of the width of the main IDT region 40 in which it is located. Preferably, the width of the slit 30 is 1 / 5 of the width of the main IDT region 40 in which it is located, and at this width of the slit 30, almost complete suppression of the lateral mode can be achieved.
[0046] In some embodiments, the slit 30 penetrates or partially penetrates the IDT finger 20 along the thickness direction of the IDT finger 20. It can be understood that the slit 30 penetrates or partially penetrates the IDT finger 20 along the thickness direction of the IDT finger 20 by partially or completely removing the metal material in the preset preparation area of the slit 30 on the IDT finger 20. In the interdigital transducer with slits 30 in the present application, the main factor affecting the effect of suppressing the lateral mode is the area of the slit 30, that is, the total area of the metal material removed (to form the slit 30) on the IDT finger 20.
[0047] Referring to FIG. 3 again, in some embodiments, each IDT finger 20 further includes: a gap region 50 and a piston region 60. The gap region 50 is located between the main IDT region 40 and the bus bar 10. The piston region 60 is located between the gap region 50 and the main IDT region 40, and on the side of the main IDT region 40 away from the gap region 50. It can be understood that the piston region 60 is a gap between the slit 30 and the end of the IDT finger 20 away from the bus bar 10, and the gap is the piston region 60. The piston region 60 is not provided with a slit 30. Since the main IDT region 40 is provided with a slit 20, the area of the piston region 60 is larger than the area of the main IDT region 40, which can reduce the speed of the SAW in the piston region 60 and improve the lateral suppression effect of the interdigital transducer.
[0048] 4, in some embodiments, the width of the piston region 60 is greater than the width of the main IDT region 40. It is understandable that the width of the piston region 60 being greater than the width of the main IDT region 40 means that the IDT has a hammerhead structure. An IDT having only a hammerhead structure but not a slit 30 can suppress the transverse mode, however, the slit 30 can further enhance the suppression effect of the IDT having a hammerhead structure on the transverse mode, that is, the slit 30 structure can not only be used to improve the traditional IDT, but also can be used to improve the IDT having a hammerhead structure.
[0049] In some embodiments, the length of the piston region 60 is 3 to 4 times the width of the slit 30. Within the length range of the piston region 60, the lateral suppression effect is better and the performance of the resonator is better.
[0050] In some embodiments, the distance between adjacent main IDT regions 40 is equal to the width of the main IDT region 40 .
[0051] In some embodiments, the widths of the slits 30 on adjacent IDT fingers 20 are different.
[0052] In some embodiments, a plurality of slits 30 are disposed in each main IDT region 40 , and the plurality of slits 30 in each main IDT region 40 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main IDT region 40 .
[0053] In some embodiments, a plurality of slits 30 are disposed in each main IDT region 40 , and different slits 30 in a single main IDT region 40 have different lengths.
[0054] In some embodiments, a plurality of slits 30 are disposed in each main IDT region 40 , and different slits 30 in a single main IDT region 40 have different widths.
[0055] In some embodiments, a plurality of slits 30 are disposed in each main IDT region 40 , and the numbers of slits 30 in adjacent main IDT regions 40 are different.
[0056] In some embodiments, the electroacoustic transducer further includes an additional bus bar 70 , which is arranged parallel to and spaced from the bus bar 10 , extends from between the IDT fingers 20 and the bus bar 10 , crosses the gap region 50 , and is connected to the gap region 50 .
[0057] In some embodiments, the electroacoustic transducer further includes a passive element 80, which is located between adjacent IDT fingers 20 and is spaced apart from the IDT fingers 20. Optionally, the passive element 80 includes one of a single capacitor element, a parallel capacitor element, a single inductor element, and a series inductor element. For example, the use of parallel capacitors between adjacent IDT fingers 20 can achieve a symmetrical AC potential distribution within the length range of the IDT fingers 20, which can have a positive effect on the SAW energy limitation in the propagation direction. It is understood that the passive element 80 can be formed by embedding a dielectric layer or a layer with a high dielectric constant in the region between the IDT fingers 20 during the manufacturing process of the interdigital transducer, or by using an insulator-metal laminated element in the region between the IDT fingers 20.
[0058] In some embodiments, the lengths of the slits 30 on adjacent IDT fingers 20 are different.
[0059] In some embodiments, the slits 30 on adjacent IDT fingers 20 are staggered along the length direction of the bus bar 10 .
[0060] In some embodiments, the slits 30 on different IDT fingers 20 are symmetrically apodized along the length direction of the bus bar 10. In other embodiments, the slits 30 on different IDT fingers 20 are asymmetrically apodized along the length direction of the bus bar 10. When the slits 30 on different IDT fingers 20 are symmetrically or asymmetrically apodized along the length direction of the bus bar 10, the performance of the resonator may be reduced, but a better lateral suppression effect can be obtained.
[0061] It should be noted that the above embodiment only takes the IDT including real fingers as an example. In actual implementation, the IDT may also include fake fingers. Of course, in actual implementation, slits may also be provided in the fake fingers. This embodiment does not limit its specific implementation.
[0062] In some embodiments, the IDT is an aluminum IDT or a copper IDT.
[0063] In some embodiments, the piezoelectric substrate is a lithium tantalate piezoelectric substrate or a lithium niobate piezoelectric substrate.
[0064] Yet another embodiment of the present application provides a resonator, comprising any one of the above-mentioned electroacoustic transducers.
[0065] Yet another embodiment of the present application provides a filter, comprising the above-mentioned resonator.
