AI Technical Summary
In wireless communication, bulk acoustic resonator devices suffer from problems such as transverse leakage and coupling between higher-order transverse parasitic modes and first-order transverse modes, which leads to a decrease in the quality factor of parallel resonant points.
A bulk acoustic resonator was designed. By setting a first attenuation region and a first confinement region outside the resonant region, the higher-order transverse parasitic modes are attenuated by using acoustic impedance matching and mismatch. The higher-order transverse modes are prevented from reflecting back to the resonant region and coupling with the first-order transverse modes by reasonably setting the spacing size.
It significantly reduces transverse leakage, increases parallel impedance and corresponding Q value, and improves the quality factor of the resonant device.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a bulk acoustic wave resonator. Background Technology
[0002] Radio frequency (RF) front-end chips in wireless communication devices include power amplifiers, antenna switches, RF filters, multiplexers (including duplexers), and low-noise amplifiers. Among these, RF filters include surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters, micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) filters, and integrated passive device (IPD) filters.
[0003] Bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators have a high quality factor (Q value). Low insertion loss and high out-of-band rejection radio frequency (RF) filters made from BAW resonators, known as BAW filters, are among the mainstream RF filters used in mobile phones, base stations, and other wireless communication devices. The Q value is the quality factor of the resonator, defined as the center frequency divided by the resonator's 3dB bandwidth. BAW filters are typically used in frequencies ranging from 0.7GHz to 7GHz.
[0004] As wireless communication technology evolves, the number of frequency bands used increases. Simultaneously, with the application of technologies such as carrier aggregation and frequency band overlay, mutual interference between wireless frequency bands becomes increasingly severe. High-performance bulk acoustic wave technology can solve the problem of mutual interference between frequency bands. With the advent of the 5G era, wireless mobile networks have introduced higher communication frequency bands, and currently only bulk acoustic wave technology can solve the filtering problem of high-frequency bands.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0027] In the bulk acoustic resonator of this invention, the first dielectric layer is located between the first attenuation section, the first confinement section, and the piezoelectric layer. Therefore, the first attenuation region and the first confinement region corresponding to the first dielectric layer will not excite significant parasitic resonances. Since the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation region matches (e.g., is equal to or less than) the acoustic impedance of the resonant region, while the acoustic impedance of the first confinement region is mismatched with that of the first attenuation region (i.e., the impedance difference is large), the first-order transverse mode can pass through the first attenuation region unaffected and then be fully reflected back to the resonant region from the first confinement region, thereby significantly reducing transverse leakage. However, higher-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first attenuation region will experience attenuation. By reasonably setting the width of the first attenuation region, higher-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated within the first attenuation region, with only a small number or even no higher-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first confinement region. This prevents higher-order transverse parasitic modes from reflecting back to the resonant region and coupling with the first-order transverse mode, thereby increasing the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value. Furthermore, the first spacing dimension ranges from 0.5 micrometers to 5 micrometers. When the first spacing dimension is less than 0.5 micrometers, it is smaller than half the wavelength of the transmitted wave, resulting in an insignificant attenuation effect. Moreover, the small spacing dimension makes it difficult to achieve precise alignment in photolithography. When the first spacing dimension is greater than 5 micrometers, it is too large, generating a large parasitic capacitance, which can easily lead to a decrease in the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator.

[0040] As described in the background section, bulk acoustic resonator devices still have many problems. These will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a bulk acoustic resonator.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 A bulk acoustic wave resonant device includes: a substrate 100 having a cavity 101 within it, with the cavity 101 exposed on the surface of the substrate 100; a lower electrode layer 102 on the substrate 100, covering the cavity 101; a piezoelectric layer 103 on the lower electrode layer 102; an upper electrode layer 104 on the piezoelectric layer 103, the projections of the upper electrode layer 104 and the lower electrode layer 102 toward the substrate 100 having an overlapping region, the overlapping region constituting a resonant region; a raised edge structure 105 on the piezoelectric layer 103 surrounding the upper electrode layer 104; and a reflection region located laterally outside the resonant region, surrounding the resonant region, the reflection region including the raised edge structure 105, the acoustic impedance of the reflection region being mismatched with the acoustic impedance of the resonant region, i.e., a large difference in acoustic impedance.
[0043] There are two main factors that reduce the quality factor at the parallel resonant point of the bulk acoustic resonator: (1) the sound wave propagates laterally from the resonant region to the region outside the resonant region, causing acoustic energy leakage; (2) the higher-order transverse parasitic mode is coupled with the first-order transverse mode.
[0044] In the above embodiments, the reflection zone formed by the protruding edge structure 105 on the lateral outer side of the resonant region can suppress the influence of the first factor, reflecting the first-order lateral mode back to the resonant region and preventing most of the acoustic energy leakage, but it cannot improve the second influencing factor. The protruding edge structure 105 reflects the first-order lateral mode while also reflecting higher-order lateral parasitic modes.
[0045] Based on this, the present invention provides a bulk acoustic resonator, wherein the first dielectric layer is located between the first attenuation section, the first confinement section, and the piezoelectric layer. Therefore, the first attenuation region and the first confinement region corresponding to the first dielectric layer will not excite significant parasitic resonances. Since the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation region is matched (e.g., equal to or less than) the acoustic impedance of the resonant region, while the acoustic impedance of the first confinement region is mismatched with that of the first attenuation region, i.e., the impedance difference is large, the first-order transverse mode can pass through the first attenuation region unaffected, and then be fully reflected back to the resonant region in the first confinement region, thereby significantly reducing transverse leakage. However, higher-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first attenuation region will undergo attenuation. By reasonably setting the width of the first attenuation region, the higher-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated within the first attenuation region, with only a small number or even no higher-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first confinement region, thereby preventing the higher-order transverse parasitic modes from reflecting back to the resonant region and coupling with the first-order transverse mode. This can improve the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value.
[0046] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0047] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a bulk acoustic resonator device in one embodiment of this utility model; Figure 3 This is a comparison chart of the real part amplitude of impedance and the quality factor as a function of frequency between the present invention and existing technologies.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 2A bulk acoustic resonator includes: an acoustic reflection layer; a first electrode layer 207, the first electrode layer 207 including a first resonant portion 207a, a first attenuation portion 207b located outside the first resonant portion 207a, the first attenuation portion 207b surrounding the first resonant portion 207a, and a first limiting portion 207c located outside the first attenuation portion 207b, the first limiting portion 207c surrounding the first attenuation portion 207b; and a piezoelectric layer 204, the piezoelectric layer 204 including a first side 2041 and a second side 2042 opposite to the first side 2041, the first electrode layer 207 being located on the first side 2041. An acoustic reflection layer is located on the second side 2042; a second electrode layer 203 is located on the second side 2042, corresponding to the first electrode layer 207, and includes a second resonant portion 203a, which corresponds to the first resonant portion 207a; a resonant region 208 includes the first resonant portion 207a, the second resonant portion 203a, and the piezoelectric layer 204 located between the first resonant portion 207a and the second resonant portion 203a; and a first dielectric layer 205 is located on the first side 2042. 041, the first dielectric layer 205 includes a first dielectric portion 205a and a second dielectric portion 205b, the first dielectric portion 205a being located between a portion of the first attenuation portion 207b and the piezoelectric layer 204, and the second dielectric portion 205b being located between the first limiting portion 207c and the piezoelectric layer 204; a first load layer 206, the first load layer 206 being located on the first side 2041, the first load layer 206 corresponding to the first limiting portion 207c and the second dielectric portion 205b; a first attenuation region 209 located outside the resonant region 208, used for attenuating sound waves, the first attenuation region 209 surrounding the resonant region 208. 08, the first attenuation region 209 includes a first attenuation portion 207b and a first dielectric portion 205a; a first restriction region 210 located outside the first attenuation region 209 is used to reflect sound waves, the first restriction region 210 surrounds the first attenuation region 209, the first restriction region 210 includes a first restriction portion 207c, a second dielectric portion 205b and a first load layer 206; wherein, there is a first spacing dimension d1 between the edge of the first load layer 206 near the resonant region 208 and the edge of the first dielectric portion 205a near the resonant region 208, the first spacing dimension d1 being in the range of 0.5 micrometers to 5 micrometers.
[0049] The first dielectric layer 205 is located between the first attenuation portion 207b, the first restriction portion 207c and the piezoelectric layer 204. Therefore, the first attenuation region 209 and the first restriction region 210 corresponding to the first dielectric layer 205 will not excite obvious parasitic resonances. Because the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation region 209 matches (e.g., equal to or less than) the acoustic impedance of the resonant region 208, while the acoustic impedance of the first confinement region 210 is mismatched with that of the first attenuation region 209 (i.e., the impedance difference is large), the first-order transverse mode can pass through the first attenuation region 209 unaffected, and then be fully reflected back to the resonant region 208 in the first confinement region 210, thereby significantly reducing transverse leakage. However, higher-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first attenuation region 209 will experience attenuation. By reasonably setting the width of the first attenuation region 209, the higher-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated within the first attenuation region 209, with only a small number or even no higher-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first confinement region 210, thereby preventing the higher-order transverse parasitic modes from reflecting back to the resonant region 208 and coupling with the first-order transverse mode. This can improve the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value. Furthermore, the first spacing dimension d1 ranges from 0.5 micrometers to 5 micrometers. When the first spacing dimension d1 is less than 0.5 micrometers, the spacing dimension is smaller than half the wavelength of the transmitted wave, the attenuation effect is not obvious, and the small spacing dimension makes it difficult to achieve the alignment accuracy of photolithography. When the first spacing dimension d1 is greater than 5 micrometers, the spacing dimension is large, resulting in a large parasitic capacitance, which can easily cause the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator to decrease.
[0050] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first spacing dimension d1 between the edge of the first load layer 206 near the resonant region 208 and the edge of the first dielectric portion 205a near the resonant region 208 is a positive value, that is, it means that the edge of the first load layer 206 near the resonant region 208 is located outside the edge of the first dielectric portion 205a near the resonant region 208.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 3In the figure, the horizontal axis represents frequency, the left vertical axis represents the amplitude of the real part of the impedance, and the right vertical axis represents the quality factor (BodeQ) as a function of frequency. The solid triangular line in the figure represents the amplitude of the real part of the impedance in the bulk acoustic wave resonator of this invention, while the dashed triangular line represents the amplitude of the real part of the impedance in a prior art bulk acoustic wave resonator. The frequency corresponding to the highest point represents the parallel resonant frequency of the resonator. The solid line in the figure represents the BodeQ curve of the bulk acoustic wave resonator of this invention, and the dashed line represents the BodeQ curve of a prior art bulk acoustic wave resonator. The point with the maximum vertical value is the Qmax value. The BodeQ of the bulk acoustic wave resonator corresponding to the parallel resonant frequency is the parallel resonant Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonator. It can be seen from the figure that the Qmax value and parallel resonant Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonator provided by this embodiment are significantly better than those of the prior art.

[0053] In this embodiment, the bulk acoustic resonator further includes a substrate 200, and the cavity 201 is embedded in the substrate 200.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first load layer 206 corresponds to the cavity 201.
[0055] In this embodiment, the second electrode layer 203 further includes a second non-resonant portion 203b, which is located outside the second resonant portion 203a and surrounds the second resonant portion 203a.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first attenuation region 209 further includes a second non-resonant region 203b corresponding to the first attenuation region 207b.
[0058] In this embodiment, the first restriction area 210 further includes a second non-resonant portion 203b corresponding to the first restriction portion 207c.
[0059] It should be noted that the first attenuation part 207b includes a first sub-part 207b1 and a second sub-part 207b2, the second sub-part 207b2 being located outside the first sub-part 207b1; the angle between the first sub-part 207b1 and the first resonant part 207a is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°; the angle between the first sub-part 207b1 and the second sub-part 207b2 is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°.
[0060] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 In this embodiment, the angle between the first sub-part 207b1 and the first resonant part 207a is 90°, and the angle between the first sub-part 207b1 and the second sub-part 207b2 is 90°.
[0061] In this embodiment, the first dielectric portion 205a is located between the second sub-portion 207b2 and the piezoelectric layer 204; the first dielectric portion 205a is located outside the first sub-portion 207b1.
[0062] In this embodiment, the first load layer 206 is located between the second medium portion 205b and the first limiting portion 207c.
[0063] In other embodiments, the first limiting portion 207c may also be located between the second medium portion 205b and the first load layer 206.
[0064] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, there is a second spacing dimension d2 between the outer edge of the first electrode layer 207 (i.e., the edge of the first electrode layer 207 away from the resonant region 208) and the outer edge of the first load layer 206 (i.e., the edge of the first load layer 206 away from the resonant region 208). The range of the second spacing dimension d2 includes -2s to 2s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonant region 208. A negative second spacing dimension d2 indicates that the outer edge of the first electrode layer 207 is located inside the outer edge of the first load layer 206 (i.e., the first load layer 206 is not covered by the first electrode layer 207); a positive second spacing dimension d2 indicates that the outer edge of the first electrode layer 207 is located outside the outer edge of the first load layer 206 (i.e., the first load layer 206 is covered by the first electrode layer 207). In this embodiment, the second spacing dimension d2 between the outer edge of the first electrode layer 207 and the outer edge of the first load layer 206 is 0 (i.e., flush).

Specifically, platinum can be used. The material density of the first load layer 206 is greater than that of the first electrode layer 207 and the second electrode layer 203, which increases the overall mass of the first confinement region 210, thereby increasing the difference between the acoustic impedance of the first confinement region 210 and the acoustic impedance of the resonant region 208, thus forming an acoustic impedance mismatch.
[0071] In this embodiment, the thickness of the first load layer 206 ranges from 80 nanometers to 120 nanometers.

The second electrode layer 402 includes a second resonant portion 402a, which corresponds to the first resonant portion 410a; a resonant region 411 includes the first resonant portion 410a, the second resonant portion 402a, and the piezoelectric layer 401 located between the first resonant portion 410a and the second resonant portion 402a; and a first dielectric layer 408 is located on the first side 4012. 011, the first dielectric layer 408 includes a first dielectric portion 408a and a second dielectric portion 408b, the first dielectric portion 408a being located between a portion of the first attenuation portion 410b and the piezoelectric layer 401, and the second dielectric portion 408b being located between the first limiting portion 410c and the piezoelectric layer 401; a first load layer 409, the first load layer 409 being located on the first side 4011, the first load layer 409 corresponding to the first limiting portion 410c and the second dielectric portion 408b; a first attenuation region 412 located outside the resonant region 411, used for attenuating sound waves, the first attenuation region 412 surrounding the resonant region 4011. 11. The first attenuation region 412 includes a first attenuation portion 410b and a first dielectric portion 408a; a first restriction region 413 located outside the first attenuation region 412 is used to reflect sound waves, the first restriction region 413 surrounds the first attenuation region 412, the first restriction region 413 includes a first restriction portion 410c, a second dielectric portion 408b and a first load layer 409; wherein, there is a first spacing dimension d1 between the edge of the first load layer 409 near the resonant region 411 and the edge of the first dielectric portion 408a near the resonant region 411, the first spacing dimension d1 being in the range of 0.5 micrometers to 5 micrometers.
[0087] The first dielectric layer 408 is located between the first attenuation portion 410b, the first restriction portion 410c and the piezoelectric layer 401. Therefore, the first attenuation region 412 and the first restriction region 413 corresponding to the first dielectric layer 408 will not excite obvious parasitic resonances. Because the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation region 412 matches (e.g., equal to or less than) the acoustic impedance of the resonant region 411, while the acoustic impedance of the first confinement region 413 is mismatched with that of the first attenuation region 412 (i.e., the impedance difference is large), the first-order transverse mode can pass through the first attenuation region 412 unaffected, and then be fully reflected back to the resonant region 411 in the first confinement region 413, thereby significantly reducing transverse leakage. However, higher-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first attenuation region 412 will experience attenuation. By reasonably setting the width of the first attenuation region 412, the higher-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated within the first attenuation region 412, with only a small number or even no higher-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first confinement region 413, thereby preventing the higher-order transverse parasitic modes from reflecting back to the resonant region 411 and coupling with the first-order transverse mode. This can improve the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value. Furthermore, the first spacing dimension d1 ranges from 0.5 micrometers to 5 micrometers. When the first spacing dimension d1 is less than 0.5 micrometers, the spacing dimension is smaller than half the wavelength of the transmitted wave, the attenuation effect is not obvious, and the small spacing dimension makes it difficult to achieve the alignment accuracy of photolithography. When the first spacing dimension d1 is greater than 5 micrometers, the spacing dimension is large, resulting in a large parasitic capacitance, which can easily cause the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator to decrease.
[0088] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first spacing dimension d1 between the edge of the first load layer 409 near the resonant region 411 and the edge of the first dielectric portion 408a near the resonant region 411 is a positive value, that is, it means that the edge of the first load layer 409 near the resonant region 411 is located outside the edge of the first dielectric portion 408a near the resonant region 411.
[0089] In this embodiment, the second electrode layer 402 further includes a third non-resonant portion 402b, which is located outside the second resonant portion 402a and surrounds the second resonant portion 402a. The third non-resonant portion 402b corresponds to the first attenuation portion 410b and the first limiting portion 410c.
[0090] In this embodiment, the first attenuation region 412 further includes the third non-resonant portion 402b corresponding to the first attenuation portion 410b, and the first restriction region 413 further includes the third non-resonant portion 402b corresponding to the first restriction portion 410c.
[0091] In this embodiment, the bulk acoustic wave resonator further includes: an intermediate layer 404 located on the second side 4012; a device substrate 406 located on the second side 4012; a first sub-bonding layer 405 located on the second side 4012; and a second sub-bonding layer 407 located on the second side 4012, wherein the first sub-bonding layer 405 and the second sub-bonding layer 407 are bonded together; the first sub-bonding layer 405 and the second sub-bonding layer 407 are located between the intermediate layer 404 and the device substrate 406, wherein the first sub-bonding layer 405 is located between the second sub-bonding layer 407 and the intermediate layer 407, and the second sub-bonding layer 407 is located between the first sub-bonding layer 405 and the device substrate 406.
[0092] It should be noted that the first attenuation part 410b includes a first sub-part 410b1 and a second sub-part 410b2, the second sub-part 410b2 being located outside the first sub-part 410b1; the angle between the first sub-part 410b1 and the first resonant part 410a is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°; the angle between the first sub-part 410b1 and the second sub-part 410b2 is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°.
[0093] In this embodiment, the angle between the first sub-part 410b1 and the first resonant part 410a is 90°, and the angle between the first sub-part 410b1 and the second sub-part 410b2 is 90°.
[0094] In this embodiment, the first dielectric portion 408a is located between the second sub-portion 410b2 and the piezoelectric layer 401; the first dielectric portion 408a is located outside the first sub-portion 410b1.
[0095] In other embodiments, the angle between the first sub-part 410b1 and the first resonant part 410a is greater than 90° and less than 180°, and the angle between the first sub-part 410b1 and the second sub-part 410b2 is greater than 90° and less than 180°; the first dielectric part 408a is also located between a portion of the first sub-part 410b1 and the piezoelectric layer 401.
[0096] In this embodiment, the first load layer 409 is located between the second medium portion 408b and the first limiting portion 410c.
[0097] In other embodiments, the first limiting portion 410c may also be located between the second medium portion 408b and the first load layer 409.
[0098] It should be noted that there is a second spacing dimension d2 between the outer edge of the first electrode layer 410 and the outer edge of the first load layer 409. The range of the second spacing dimension d2 includes -2s to 2s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonant region 411. A negative second spacing dimension d2 indicates that the outer edge of the first electrode layer 410 is located inside the outer edge of the first load layer 409 (i.e., the first load layer 409 is not covered by the first electrode layer 410); a positive second spacing dimension d2 indicates that the outer edge of the first electrode layer 410 is located outside the outer edge of the first load layer 409 (i.e., the first load layer 409 is covered by the first electrode layer 410). In this embodiment, the second spacing dimension d2 between the outer edge of the first electrode layer 410 and the outer edge of the first load layer 409 is 0 (i.e., flush).
[0099] In this embodiment, the acoustic reflection layer includes a cavity 414, which is located on the second side 4012 and embedded in the intermediate layer 404.

[0105] In this embodiment, the material of the first load layer 409 is a metal, including molybdenum, tungsten, platinum, palladium, gold, chromium, tantalum, or iridium. Specifically, platinum can be used. The material density of the first load layer 409 is greater than that of the first electrode layer 410 and the second electrode layer 402, which increases the overall mass of the first confinement region 413, thereby increasing the difference between the acoustic impedance of the first confinement region 413 and the acoustic impedance of the resonant region 411, thus forming an acoustic impedance mismatch.
[0106] In this embodiment, the thickness of the first load layer 409 ranges from 80 nanometers to 120 nanometers.

Specifically, the second spacing dimension d2 is between the edge of the first load layer 409 away from the resonant region 411 (i.e., the outer edge of the first load layer 409) and the edge of the second attenuation portion 410d away from the resonant region 411 (i.e., the outer edge of the first electrode layer 410), and the second spacing dimension d2 ranges from 0.5 micrometers to 3 micrometers.

An acoustic reflection layer is located on the first side 5011; a second electrode layer 510 is located on the second side 5012, corresponding to the first electrode layer 504, and includes a second resonant portion 510a, corresponding to the first resonant portion 504a; a resonant region 511 includes the first resonant portion 504a, the second resonant portion 510a, and the piezoelectric layer 501 located between the first resonant portion 504a and the second resonant portion 510a; and a first dielectric layer 502 is located on the first side 5012. 011, the first dielectric layer 502 includes a first dielectric portion 502a and a second dielectric portion 502b, the first dielectric portion 502a being located between a portion of the first attenuation portion 504b and the piezoelectric layer 501, and the second dielectric portion 502b being located between the first limiting portion 504c and the piezoelectric layer 501; a first load layer 503, the first load layer 503 being located on the first side 5011, the first load layer 503 corresponding to the first limiting portion 504c and the second dielectric portion 502b; a first attenuation region 512 located outside the resonant region 511, used for attenuating sound waves, the first attenuation region 512 surrounding the resonant region 5011. 11.

[0117] The first dielectric layer 502 is located between the first attenuation portion 504b, the first restriction portion 504c and the piezoelectric layer 501.

This can improve the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value. Furthermore, the first spacing dimension d1 ranges from 0.5 micrometers to 5 micrometers.
