Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of filter manufacturing, and particularly to a manufacturing method of an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter and an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter. Background Art
[0002] In the field of wireless communication technology, SAW filters and BAW filters are two crucial components, which play key roles in different application scenarios respectively.
[0003] The BAW filter, namely the bulk acoustic wave filter. Its principle is based on bulk acoustic wave technology. When an alternating electric field is applied across the piezoelectric material, the material generates mechanical vibrations, which propagate inside the material in the form of bulk acoustic waves. By cleverly designing the structure and size of the bulk acoustic wave filter, bulk acoustic waves of a specific frequency can be made to propagate smoothly in the filter while suppressing acoustic waves of other frequencies, thereby achieving the filtering function.
[0004] The D-BAW filter, namely the double-sided patterned process bulk acoustic wave filter. The structure of this bulk acoustic wave filter is fabricated by two bonding processes using a double-sided process. That is, during the manufacturing process, several steps of preparation processes are first implemented on the front side of the wafer, and then the wafer is flipped over through bonding to implement subsequent preparation processes. During packaging, the wafer is flipped again through bonding, and several steps of preparation processes are implemented on the back side, thereby realizing the double-sided process in this way.
[0005] Currently, in order to ensure the reliability of the chip in terms of design, process, and function, and to avoid catastrophic failures during mass production, it is usually necessary to perform wafer-level testing on the chip. The existing methods for wafer-level testing of chips usually involve first manufacturing multiple bulk acoustic wave filters, then separately performing individual wafer-level tests on each bulk acoustic wave filter, and finally packaging together the tested bulk acoustic wave filters. However, there are certain defects in using the above method for wafer-level testing of bulk acoustic wave filters. For example, since individual wafer-level tests are performed on each bulk acoustic wave filter, the development cycle is relatively long. Another example is that when multiple bulk acoustic wave filters are used in combination, it is easy to cause waste of resources.
[0006] To solve the problems mentioned above, the prior art has proposed integrating multiple bulk acoustic wave filters into one chip to generate an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter, thereby completing wafer-level testing on the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter at one time. Although the above method can save manufacturing and testing costs, the individual bulk acoustic wave filters manufactured cannot meet the requirement of having different operating frequencies, which may lead to problems such as poor frequency band adaptability and waste of resources in the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter.
[0007] Publication number: CN119995555A, Title: Bulk acoustic wave filter, preparation method thereof, and radio frequency module. The bulk acoustic wave filter at least includes: a substrate; a first film layer located on one side of the substrate, the first film layer including a first region and a second region surrounding the first region, and a photosensitive dry film disposed around the first region is provided in the second region; a piezoelectric thin film located on the side of the first film layer away from the substrate; wherein the piezoelectric thin film includes a lithium niobate thin film and / or a lithium tantalate thin film; a cavity is jointly formed by the substrate, the photosensitive dry film, and the piezoelectric thin film.
[0008] Publication number: CN222776195U, Title: A bulk acoustic wave filter. It includes a substrate and a plurality of resonators cascaded on the substrate. The plurality of resonators include at least one front-end resonator and one end resonator. The front-end resonator includes a lower electrode, a piezoelectric layer, and an upper electrode sequentially disposed on the substrate. The outer periphery of the upper electrode extends in a direction away from the upper electrode along the hierarchical direction to form a raised portion. An air gap is formed between the raised portion and the piezoelectric layer, and a capacitance compensation structure is formed between the raised portion and the upper electrode or between the raised portion and the lower electrode.
[0009] In view of the above technical problem that the existing integrated bulk acoustic wave filter in the prior art cannot meet the requirement of having different operating frequencies, which may lead to poor frequency band adaptability and resource waste of the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter, no effective solution has been proposed yet.

[0026] The present application provides a method for manufacturing an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter and an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter.

Detailed implementation manners
[0033] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present disclosure solution, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments.

[0035] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances for the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein.

[0036] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0037] Secondly, the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present application, for the convenience of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure will be enlarged locally not in accordance with the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present application herein. In addition, in actual production, three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth should be included.
[0038] According to the first aspect of this embodiment, a method for manufacturing an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter is provided. Figure 1 The flow schematic diagram of the method is shown. Refer to Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: S101: Fabricate a first substrate; S102: Form a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters on the first substrate. The specific steps include: Form at least one hybrid layer on a first substrate, where the at least one hybrid layer includes a first sacrificial layer etched with a plurality of first regions and a first upper electrode layer deposited in each of the first regions, and where the thickness of the first sacrificial layer corresponds to the resonant frequency difference of a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters, and the thickness of the first upper electrode layer is the same as the thickness of the first sacrificial layer; and S103: Deposit a second upper electrode layer on the at least one hybrid layer and form a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters, where the thickness of the second upper electrode layer corresponds to the minimum resonant frequency among the plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters, and the sum of the number of the at least one hybrid layer and the second upper electrode layer corresponds to the number of the plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters.
[0039] Using the method for manufacturing an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, a first substrate is manufactured, and at least one hybrid layer is formed on the first substrate. Among them, the at least one hybrid layer includes a first sacrificial layer etched with a plurality of first regions and a first upper electrode layer deposited in each of the first regions, and where the thickness of the first sacrificial layer corresponds to the resonant frequency difference of a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters, and the thickness of the first upper electrode layer is the same as the thickness of the first sacrificial layer. Then, a second upper electrode layer is deposited on the at least one hybrid layer and a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters are formed. Among them, the thickness of the second upper electrode layer corresponds to the minimum resonant frequency among the plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters, and the sum of the number of the at least one hybrid layer and the second upper electrode layer corresponds to the number of the plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters.
[0040] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 As shown, first, manufacture the first substrate 110 to be removed. Then, form at least one hybrid layer 120 on the first substrate 110 (as Figure 2 shows 2 hybrid layers). For example, in the case where the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter that the operator needs to manufacture includes 3 bulk acoustic wave filters, 2 hybrid layers are formed on the first substrate 110. In one solution, the thickness of the first upper electrode layer 122 in the first hybrid layer corresponds to the resonant frequency difference between the bulk acoustic wave filter 1 and the bulk acoustic wave filter 2, and the thickness of the first upper electrode layer 122 in the second hybrid layer corresponds to the resonant frequency difference between the bulk acoustic wave filter 1 and the bulk acoustic wave filter 3. In another solution, the thickness of the first upper electrode layer 122 in the first hybrid layer corresponds to the resonant frequency difference between the bulk acoustic wave filter 1 and the bulk acoustic wave filter 2, and the thickness of the first upper electrode layer 122 in the second hybrid layer corresponds to the resonant frequency difference between the bulk acoustic wave filter 2 and the bulk acoustic wave filter 3. That is, the thicknesses of the first hybrid layer and the second hybrid layer correspond to the resonant frequency differences between any two of the plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters, which will not be elaborated here.
[0041] The specific steps for fabricating at least one hybrid layer include: First, deposit a first sacrificial layer 121 on a first substrate 110, and etch the first sacrificial layer 121 to generate a plurality of first regions 1211. Herein, the thickness of the first sacrificial layer 121 corresponds to the resonance frequency difference of a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters. After that, an operator deposits a first upper electrode layer 122 on the first sacrificial layer 121 and the first substrate 110, and planarizes the first upper electrode layer 122, so that the thickness of the first upper electrode layer 122 in each of the first regions 1211 is the same as the thickness of the first sacrificial layer 121. Thus, the operator can fabricate other hybrid layers using the same method steps as above, which will not be elaborated herein.
[0042] After that, deposit a second upper electrode layer 130 on at least one hybrid layer 120 and form a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters. Herein, the thickness of the second upper electrode layer 130 corresponds to the minimum resonance frequency among the plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters.
[0043] Thus, different from the prior art, since the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter in this application includes a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters formed on a first substrate, multiple bulk acoustic wave filters can be integrated into one chip, and the wafer-level testing of multiple bulk acoustic wave filters can be completed at one time.
[0044] Furthermore, when fabricating the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter in this application, first form at least one hybrid layer on the first substrate. Herein, at least one hybrid layer includes a first sacrificial layer etched with a plurality of first regions and a first upper electrode layer deposited in each of the first regions. Thus, when the thickness of the first sacrificial layer corresponds to the resonance frequency difference of a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters, set the thickness of the first upper electrode layer to be the same as the thickness of the first sacrificial layer, then it can be ensured that the thickness of the first upper electrode layer corresponds to the resonance frequency difference of a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters. After that, deposit a second upper electrode layer on at least one hybrid layer and form a plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters. Herein, the thickness of the second upper electrode layer corresponds to the minimum resonance frequency among the plurality of bulk acoustic wave filters. Thus, the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter fabricated in this application can meet the requirement of having different operating frequencies.
[0045] In addition, since the etching process for two adjacent hierarchical structures made of the same material is more mature and easier to control than that for two adjacent hierarchical structures made of different materials, compared with generating an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter with different operating frequencies by etching the electrodes, the operation of first depositing the first sacrificial layer on the first substrate, then etching the first sacrificial layer deposited on the first substrate, and forming a plurality of first regions for depositing the first upper electrode layer disclosed in this application can achieve the technical effect of precisely fabricating the first upper electrode layer on the first substrate.
[0046] In addition, when fabricating the first upper electrode layer by using a first sacrificial layer including a plurality of first regions in the present application, a semiconductor lead frame structure (i.e., Frame structure) can be fabricated simultaneously, thereby saving photomasks.
[0047] Furthermore, it solves the technical problem in the prior art that the existing integrated bulk acoustic wave filter cannot meet the requirement of having different operating frequencies, which may lead to poor frequency band adaptability and resource waste of the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter.
[0048] Embodiment 1 The following are the specific fabrication steps of an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter (including a first bulk acoustic wave filter and a second bulk acoustic wave filter) provided by an embodiment of the present application: Refer to Figure 3 As shown, first, a first substrate 110 to be removed is fabricated. Optionally, the first substrate 110 is made of silicon, silicon carbide, or sapphire. Further, a first sacrificial layer 121 is deposited and etched on one side of the first substrate 110, and a plurality of second regions 1212 for exposing the first substrate 110 are formed. Among them, the thickness of the first sacrificial layer 121 corresponds to the resonance frequency difference between the first bulk acoustic wave filter and the second bulk acoustic wave filter. Preferably, the fabrication material of the first sacrificial layer 121 can be undoped silicate glass, phosphate glass, or a thermal oxide layer, etc., with a uniformity of less than 1%.
[0049] In addition, since the etching process for adjacent two hierarchical structures made of different materials is more mature and easier to control than that for adjacent two hierarchical structures made of the same material, compared with fabricating an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter with different operating frequencies by etching the electrodes, the operation of first depositing the first sacrificial layer 121 on the first substrate 110 and then etching the first sacrificial layer 121 deposited on the first substrate 110 disclosed in the present application can greatly reduce the fabrication process difficulty.
[0050] Refer to Figure 4 As shown, then, a first upper electrode layer 122 is deposited on the first substrate 110 and the first sacrificial layer 121. Since the heights of the first upper electrode layer 122 deposited in each of the second regions 1212 and the first upper electrode layer 122 deposited on the first sacrificial layer 121 are inconsistent, the protruding first upper electrode layer 122 is ground flat, and the first upper electrode layer 122 deposited in each of the second regions 1212 is made to have the same thickness as the first sacrificial layer 121, so that the thickness of the first upper electrode layer 122 corresponds to the resonance frequency difference between the first bulk acoustic wave filter and the second bulk acoustic wave filter. Preferably, the thickness of the unground first upper electrode layer 122 is 1.1 to 3 times the thickness of the first sacrificial layer 121, and the fabrication material of the first upper electrode layer 122 can be, for example, molybdenum or tungsten, with a uniformity of less than 1%.
[0051] Reference Figure 5 As shown, further, a second upper electrode layer 130 is deposited on the first sacrificial layer 121 and the first upper electrode layer 122.

Preferably, the material for fabricating the second upper electrode layer 130 can be, for example, molybdenum or tungsten, and the uniformity is less than 1%, and the etching uniformity is less than 5%. Then, a piezoelectric layer 140 is deposited on the second upper electrode layer 130. Among them, the thickness of the piezoelectric layer 140 corresponds to the maximum value of the resonance frequencies in the first bulk acoustic wave filter and the second bulk acoustic wave filter. Preferably, the material for fabricating the piezoelectric layer 140 can be, for example, aluminum nitride or scandium-doped aluminum nitride, and the uniformity is less than 1%.
[0052] Thus, in the case where the thickness of the first upper electrode layer 122 is determined to correspond to the difference in resonance frequencies between the first bulk acoustic wave filter and the second bulk acoustic wave filter, and the thickness of the second upper electrode layer 130 is determined to correspond to the minimum value of the resonance frequencies in the first bulk acoustic wave filter and the second bulk acoustic wave filter, the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter generated based on the first upper electrode layer 122 and the second upper electrode layer 130 can meet the requirement of having different operating frequencies.
[0053] In addition, compared with the existing method of generating an integrated bulk acoustic wave filter with different operating frequencies by etching the electrodes, the operation of depositing the first upper electrode layer 122 by etching the first sacrificial layer 121 and making the thickness of the first upper electrode layer 122 correspond to the difference in resonance frequencies between the first bulk acoustic wave filter and the second bulk acoustic wave filter can achieve the technical effect of precise control.

Then, the second sacrificial layer 170 is etched, and a plurality of fifth regions 171 for exposing the second lower electrode layer 160 and a sixth region 172 for exposing the piezoelectric layer 140 are formed. Among them, each of the fifth regions 171 is located on both sides of the sixth region 172. After that, a support layer 180 is deposited on the second lower electrode layer 160, the piezoelectric layer 140, and the second sacrificial layer 170. Further, the first sacrificial layer 121 and the second sacrificial layer 170 are etched, and a first resonant cavity corresponding to the first bulk acoustic wave filter and a second resonant cavity corresponding to the second bulk acoustic wave filter are formed.

[0062] That is to say, when the requirement of the frequency range of the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter cannot be met only by changing the thickness of the first upper electrode layer 122, the frequency range of the integrated bulk acoustic wave filter can be further increased by etching the piezoelectric layer 140 to meet the requirement of having different resonance frequencies.

Among them, each tenth region 173 is located on both sides of the eleventh region 174. After that, a support layer 180 is deposited on the second lower electrode layer 160, the piezoelectric layer 140, and the second sacrificial layer 170. Further, the first sacrificial layer 121 and the second sacrificial layer 170 are etched, and a first resonance cavity corresponding to the first bulk acoustic wave filter and a second resonance cavity corresponding to the second bulk acoustic wave filter are formed. Finally, a second substrate 190 is deposited on the support layer 180, the whole is flipped, and the first substrate 110 is removed, thereby generating a structure as Figure 16 shown.
