AI Technical Summary
The existing bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters are difficult to achieve both low insertion loss and low gamma loss, and the raised frame mode is prone to degradation of gamma loss in the carrier aggregation band.
A multi-layer raised frame structure is adopted, where the first raised frame layer has low acoustic impedance, the second raised frame layer has a higher density, and is the same as the electrode material to form a multi-layer raised frame structure, separating the frequency of the raised frame mode and keeping it away from the main resonant frequency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0034] The following detailed description of certain embodiments represents various descriptions of specific embodiments. However, the innovations described herein are defined and covered, for example, by the claims. In this description, the same reference numerals refer to the same Reference is made to the drawings which may show identical or functionally similar elements. It is understood that the drawings It is to be further understood that elements depicted in the drawings are not necessarily to scale. The embodiments may include more elements than are shown in the drawings and / or may include more elements than are shown in the drawings. Additionally, some embodiments may include a subset of features from two or more of the drawings. Any suitable combination may be incorporated.
[0035] To develop a high-performance bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter, it is necessary to reduce the insertion loss while In general, it is desirable to reduce gamma loss. W resonators typically have a high quality factor (Q). To achieve a high Q, The raised frame, also called the boundary ring, separates the active domain of the BAW resonator from the BAW coaxial cable. It can block lateral energy leakage into the passive domain of the oscillator. Rehm can improve the Q, but it can trap all the leakage energy. The raised frame is relatively weak below the main resonant frequency of the BAW resonator. This can generate large spurious modes, also called raised frame modes. This can cause gamma degradation in the carrier aggregation band of the filter. Low gamma loss reduces the incidence of raised frame spurious modes (RaF modes). This can be achieved by moving the 10Gb / s ...
[0036] Aspects of the present disclosure provide a multi-layer raised frame that can achieve low insertion loss and low gamma loss. The present invention relates to a bulk acoustic wave resonator including a multi-layer raised frame structure. The first raised frame layer includes a frame layer and a second raised frame layer. The first raised frame layer supports an opposing electrode on the piezoelectric layer. A low acoustic impedance material, such as silicon dioxide, is placed between the poles. and disposing an acoustic impedance material between the top electrode and the piezoelectric layer of the bulk acoustic wave resonator. The multi-layer raised frame structure is placed along the periphery of the active area of the bulk acoustic wave resonator. The second raised frame layer may include a relatively heavy material. The raised frame layer may be of the same material as the electrodes of the bulk acoustic wave resonator.
[0037] Generates relatively strong raised frame spurious modes due to low acoustic impedance The frequency of the multi-layer raised frame domain is controlled by the first raised frame layer with low acoustic impedance. The acoustic properties of the raised frame domain can be significantly lower than those of a similar raised frame domain that does not exist. Due to impedance, the raised frame mode for the multi-layer raised frame structure is reduced by gamma loss. It will be outside the carrier aggregation band so as not to cause loss of For example, in carrier aggregation applications, the multiplexer A common node arranged to receive a carrier aggregation signal; a first filter having a passband associated with a first carrier of the transmission signal; a second carrier of the carrier aggregation signal coupled to the first filter in the and a second filter having a second passband associated with the first filter. A multi-layer raised frame structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include a BAW resonator. The BAW resonator having the raised frame structure is arranged to transmit the first filter in the passband of the second filter. This can increase the gamma for the filter.
[0038] Additionally, due to the relatively low frequency of the multi-layer raised frame structure, the multi-layer raised frame The difference in effective acoustic impedance between the active domain and the second raised frame layer The multi-layer raised frame structure is larger than that for a raised frame structure with a single layer corresponding to the multi-layer raised frame. The beam structure provides high mode reflection of lateral energy away from the primary modes to anti-resonant frequencies. This reduces mode conversion to other nearby transverse modes. Therefore, the Q is significantly It may increase.
[0039] The embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a dual raised frame structure having two raised frame layers. Although any suitable principles and advantages described herein may be described with reference to , can be applied to multi-layer raised frame structures containing two or more raised frame layers.

[0047] The first raised frame layer 23 defines an effective raised frame domain for the bulk acoustic wave device 20. Electromechanical coupling coefficient (k 2 ) compared to a similar device in which the first raised frame layer 23 is absent. This reduces the excitation strength of the raised frame spurious modes. Furthermore, the first raised frame layer 23 reduces the frequency of the raised frame mode by By moving the frequency of the acoustic wave device 20 relatively far away from the primary resonant frequency of the acoustic wave device 20, This can contribute to gamma loss without causing any significant effect.
[0048] As shown, the second raised frame layer 24 is disposed over the active area of the bulk acoustic wave device 20. The second raised frame layer 24 overlaps the first raised frame layer 23 in the region. This may be convenient from a manufacturing point of view.

A silicon dioxide layer 27 is included over the raised frame layer 24. Different regions of the substrate 20 may be formed to have different thicknesses. For example, As shown in FIG. 2, the silicon dioxide layer 27 is thinned in the recessed frame domain. Instead of and / or in addition to the silicon dioxide layer 27, any suitable A passivation layer may be included.
