The edge of the diaphragm, i.e., the boundary 202 of the cavity, is a fixed support boundary. When the piezoelectric film is AlN or PZT, since they have an isotropic piezoelectric coupling coefficient K in the film plane, 31 At this time, the differential electrode distribution direction of the transducer is consistent with the strain distribution direction, both along the radial direction of the annular electrode; the differential electrode distribution direction and the piezoelectric coupling coefficient k 31 The maximum values ​​of are in the same direction, all along the radial direction of the annular electrode.

[0085] In order to better understand the present application, the definition of Euler angles is first explained below.

[0086] Euler angles are a set of independent angular parameters used to uniquely determine the position of a fixed-point rotating rigid body. Euler angles are usually used to represent LN (lithium niobate) and LT (lithium tantalate) cuts. There are many ways to obtain Euler angles, and the most common one used in this application is:

[0087] For a reference system in three-dimensional space, the orientation of any coordinate system can be expressed by three Euler angles. The reference system is stationary, and the commonly used reference system is the right-handed coordinate system (such as Figure 2 The xyz coordinate system shown in the figure can be considered as the crystal axis coordinate system in the crystal. The Euler transformation coordinate system (such as Figure 2 The XYZ coordinate system shown in the figure is fixed to the rigid body and can be considered as a certain section or cut in the crystal. The Euler transformation coordinate system rotates with the rotation of the section. In this application, we set the Z axis of the Euler transformation coordinate system to be perpendicular to the target section, that is, along the thickness direction of the section, and the XY axis is located in the section. The English letter (N) represents the intersection of the xy plane and the XY plane. The Euler angles are defined as (α, β, γ) in the order of rotation around the zxz axis, where α is the angle of the crystal (lithium niobate or lithium tantalate) rotating around the z axis for the first time (when looking from the positive end of the z axis to the origin, the counterclockwise rotation direction is the positive rotation angle, and the clockwise direction is the negative rotation angle), and α also corresponds to the angle between the x axis and the intersection line N; β is the angle of the crystal rotating around the x axis, which also corresponds to the angle between the z axis and the Z axis; γ is the angle of the crystal rotating around the z axis for the second time, which also corresponds to the angle between the intersection line N and the X axis.

[0088] In LN film or LT film, the piezoelectric coupling coefficient K 31 The relationship with material parameters is as follows:

[0089]

[0090] Wherein, c represents the elastic coefficient matrix of the piezoelectric material, e represents the piezoelectric constant matrix of the piezoelectric material, and ε represents the dielectric constant matrix of the piezoelectric material.

[0091] In order to solve at least one of the above problems existing in the prior art, in a first aspect, the present application provides a piezoelectric MEMS transducer, such as Figure 3A and Figure 3BAs shown, a piezoelectric MEMS transducer provided in the present application includes a substrate 200 and a piezoelectric layer 100 formed on the substrate 200, a cavity 201 is also provided on the substrate 200, a bottom electrode 103 is provided on the first surface 100b of the piezoelectric layer 100, and a first differential electrode 101 and a second differential electrode 102 are provided on the second surface 100a of the piezoelectric layer 100; wherein, the first differential electrode 101 and the second differential electrode 102 are alternately distributed along a first direction on the second surface 100a of the piezoelectric layer 100, and the bottom electrode 103 and the first differential electrode 101 and the second differential electrode 102 are opposite; the piezoelectric layer 100 is a single crystal lithium niobate film or a single crystal lithium tantalate film, and with the first direction being the positive direction of the x-axis of the right-hand coordinate system, the piezoelectric layer 100 has a crystal orientation of a target Euler angle, so that the square value of the piezoelectric coupling coefficient of the piezoelectric layer 100 in the first direction is greater than or equal to 1.52%.

[0092] Specifically, the piezoelectric layer 100 can be bonded to the substrate 200 through the bonding layer 300, and the cavity 201 is located in the substrate 200 (or a dielectric layer is provided on the substrate 200, and the cavity 201 is provided in the dielectric layer). The piezoelectric layer 100, the bottom electrode 103, and the differential electrodes 101 and 102 in the region of the cavity 201 constitute the working region of the transducer, and the boundary 202 of the cavity 201 is a fixed support boundary.

[0093] The first direction refers to the positive direction of the x-axis or the negative direction of the x-axis, Figure 3A and Figure 3B The differential electrode distribution direction and strain distribution direction of the piezoelectric MEMS transducer shown are along the x-axis direction. At this time, by controlling the crystal orientation of the piezoelectric layer 100, the piezoelectric layer 100 has a higher piezoelectric coupling coefficient in the first direction, thereby improving the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the piezoelectric MEMS transducer. For example, by controlling the crystal orientation of the piezoelectric layer 100, the piezoelectric coupling coefficient K of the piezoelectric layer 100 is 31 The maximum value is distributed along the x-axis.

[0094] In the Euler angles (α, β, γ), the α and β angles determine a unique section, and the γ angle is the rotation angle of the x-axis / y-axis in the section (after rotation, it becomes the X-axis and Y-axis, where the x-axis / y-axis represents the crystal axis of the piezoelectric crystal), where the X-axis corresponds to the direction of sound wave propagation (corresponding to Figure 3A , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig.11A In the horizontal direction), the piezoelectric coupling coefficient K 31 Related to device planar design.

[0095] Taking the piezoelectric layer 100 as a single crystal lithium niobate film as an example, when the LN Euler angle is (0°, 47°, 90°), reaches the global maximum value of 13.7%, and The global maximum of is distributed along the x-axis. Figure 4 When the Euler angle of lithium niobate is (0°, 47°, γ) As γ changes, it can be seen that the maximum value is 13.7% when γ is 90°, and the minimum value is 0 when γ is 39° and 141°.

[0096] The following embodiments take the x-axis direction as the piezoelectric coupling coefficient K 31 Taking the maximum value distribution direction or the distribution direction close to the maximum value as an example, the piezoelectric MEMS transducer provided in the present application is described.

[0097] When the piezoelectric layer is a single crystal lithium niobate film, the target Euler angle can be as follows:

[0098] Euler angles (0°, 47°, 90°) correspond to 137° rotated Y-cut cutting (the rotation angle of the rotated Y-cut is equal to β+90° or β-90°). The global maximum value of 13.7% is reached in the x-axis direction. Considering a certain error, the target Euler angle is determined to be (0°±10°, 47°±10°, 90°±10°).

[0099] When γ is 0°, The curve with β changes is as follows Figure 5A As shown. It can be seen that when the Euler angle is (0°, 83°, 0°), The local maximum value of 8% is reached in the x-axis direction, which is 58.4% of the global maximum value (13.7%). When it is greater than or equal to 50% of the global maximum value, its Euler angle is (0°, 56°~110°, 0°). Considering certain errors of α and γ, the target Euler angle is determined to be (0°±10°, 56°~110°, 0°±10°).

[0100] When β and γ both vary between 0° and 180°, let In the x-axis direction, it is greater than or equal to 50% of its global maximum value, that is, The distribution of Euler angles is as follows Figure 5B As shown. At this time, for the elliptical shadow area, the maximum and minimum values ​​of β are 66° and 28° respectively, and the maximum and minimum values ​​of γ are 114° and 66° respectively; for the other two areas, the maximum and minimum values ​​of β are 110° and 57° respectively, and the range of γ is -17° to 17° (taking into account the periodic characteristics of the Euler angle). Therefore, the target Euler angle is determined to be (0°, 28° to 66°, 66° to 114°) or (0°, 57° to 110°, -17° to 17°).

[0101] When the piezoelectric layer is a single crystal lithium tantalate film, the target Euler angle can be as follows:

[0102] The global maximum value (3.04%) in the x-axis direction corresponds to an Euler angle of (0°, 87°, 0°), which corresponds to a 177° rotated Y-cut (the rotation angle of the rotated Y-cut is equal to β+90° or β-90°), which is close to the Y-cut. Considering a certain error, the target Euler angle is determined to be (0°±10°, 87°±10°, 0°±10°).

[0103] When γ is 0°, The curve with β changes is as follows Figure 5C As shown. It can be seen that when the Euler angle is (0°, 87°, 0°), The global maximum value (3.04%) is reached in the x-axis direction. At this time, let When it is greater than or equal to 50% (i.e., 1.52%) of the global maximum value, the corresponding Euler angle range is (0°, 43°~131°, 0°). Considering certain errors of α and γ, the target Euler angle is determined to be (0°±10°, 43°~131°, 0°±10°).

[0104] When β and γ both vary between 0° and 180°, let In the x-axis direction, it is greater than or equal to 50% of its global maximum value, that is, The distribution of Euler angles is as follows Figure 5D As shown. At this time, for the elliptical shadow area, the maximum and minimum values ​​of β are 68° and 30° respectively, and the maximum and minimum values ​​of γ are 115° and 65° respectively; for the other two areas, the maximum and minimum values ​​of β are 131° and 44° respectively, and the range of γ is -39° to 39° (taking into account the periodic characteristics of the Euler angle).
