[0021] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are all within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0022] 1 and 2, FIG. 1 is a plan view of an air-gap type bulk acoustic resonator, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the bulk acoustic resonator shown in FIG. 1 in the BB' direction, which includes a substrate 101', an acoustic reflection structure 102', a first electrode 103', a second electrode 105', and a piezoelectric layer 104' located between the two electrodes. The overlapping area of the acoustic reflection structure 102', the first electrode 103', the piezoelectric layer 104', and the second electrode 105' is an effective area P'. The two electrodes are also called excitation electrodes, and their function is to induce mechanical vibration of the piezoelectric layer 104' of the resonator, and the acoustic reflection structure 102' effectively prevents the acoustic wave from being conducted out of the resonator and causing energy loss.
[0023] In an ideal state, the resonator realizes lossless conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy, but in a practical situation, some electrical energy and bulk acoustic waves in the device will inevitably be converted into thermal energy, and the higher the power of the resonator, the more significant the heat generation effect. As shown in FIG. 2, the heat transfer path is shown by the dashed arrow, and since air is a poor thermal conductor, the resonator mainly transfers heat to the substrate 101' near the device through the device functional layer, i.e., the upper and lower electrodes and the piezoelectric layer 104', and then transfers heat from the substrate 101' near the device to the entire substrate 101' for heat dissipation. However, the central region O of the resonator is far from the substrate 101' at the edge of the resonator, and the central region O is prone to heat accumulation, so the device will have a temperature drift, which will promote the aging of the device, cause it to expire and reduce its reliability.
[0024] Conventional methods for enhancing heat dissipation include increasing the thermal conductivity of the electrode or passivation layer material, and increasing the heat dissipation coefficient of the substrate 101' material, but these methods are all indirect heat dissipation, and it is difficult to improve the heat dissipation effect. In addition, the electrodes need to adopt high acoustic impedance materials, so molybdenum (Mo), tungsten, ruthenium (Ru) or iridium (Ir) are preferred, and the preferred material for the piezoelectric layer 104' is generally aluminum nitride (AlN) or AlN doped with different proportions of scandium (Sc), i.e., AlScN. After years of research in the industry, the above materials are the most suitable Fbar device materials for mass production, so it is currently not practical to change the piezoelectric layer 104' or electrode materials. In order to improve the direct heat dissipation efficiency of the device, one method is to shorten the distance V from the central region O of the resonator to the substrate 101' in the direction parallel to the substrate 101' (this method is applied to above-ground and underground cavities, the above-ground cavity is located on the upper surface of the substrate 101', and the underground cavity is embedded inside the substrate 101'), thereby providing the shortest heat dissipation path and achieving the highest heat dissipation efficiency. However, simply shortening the distance V directly reduces the effective area of the resonator, and the performance of the resonator does not meet the design requirements. Therefore, how to shorten the distance V from the central region O to the substrate 101' in the direction parallel to the substrate 101' and improve the heat dissipation efficiency under the premise of ensuring the performance of the device is a key technical issue.
[0025] Based on the above problems, this application provides a bulk acoustic resonator and its assembly and fabrication method, electronic device, and filter, in which the bulk acoustic resonator has a strip-shaped effective area, which improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the resonator and makes the temperature of the resonator basically constant when in operation, and the extension length of the effective area between the first free end and the second free end is H, an arbitrary point on the first side is point A, and the shortest distance from point A to the second side is D, and the extension length H is adjusted according to the resonant frequency and power tolerance of the resonator, so that H and D satisfy the relationship H / D>3, ensuring that the resonator still has good heat dissipation efficiency and more stable performance under the condition of high frequency and high power tolerance.
[0026] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application clearer and easier to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] 3 and 4, FIG. 3 is a plan view of a bulk acoustic resonator provided by an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the bulk acoustic resonator shown in FIG. 3 in the MM′ direction. The bulk acoustic resonator includes a substrate 101, a first electrode 103 having an acoustic reflection structure 102 between it and the substrate 101, and a second electrode 105 having a piezoelectric layer 104 between it and the first electrode 103. In a direction perpendicular to the substrate 101, the acoustic reflection structure 102, the first electrode 103, the piezoelectric layer 104, and the second electrode 105 are arranged in a sectional view. The overlapping area is an effective area P, which includes a first side L1 and a second side L2 arranged opposite each other in a direction parallel to the substrate 101, and a first free end A1 and a second free end A2 are connected to both ends of the first side L1 and the second side L2 to form a closed effective area P, with the extension length of the effective area P between the first free end A1 and the second free end A2 being H, an arbitrary point on the first side L1 being point A, and the shortest distance from point A to the second side L2 being D, and H / D>3.
[0028] 3 and 4, the sound wave reflecting structure 102 includes a cavity 1021 or a Bragg reflecting layer, and in this embodiment, the sound wave reflecting structure 102 is taken as an example to be described as a cavity 1021. The effective area P in this embodiment is U-shaped, and it can be said that the U-shaped effective area is formed by bending the effective area P once. The effective area P in this embodiment can effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the resonator based on its shape and size ratio, so that the temperature of the resonator is basically kept constant in the working state. In addition, according to the resonant frequency and power allowance needs of the resonator, the extension length H between the first free end A1 and the second free end A2 is adjusted, and H and the shortest distance D from the point A, which is an arbitrary point on the first side L1, to the second side L2 satisfy the relationship H / D>3, so as to ensure that the resonator still has good heat dissipation efficiency and more stable performance under the condition of high frequency and high power allowance. Since the distance from the central region of the resonator to the substrate is obviously reduced, compared with the normal sandwich structure, the moment of the central region is improved, and the amount of distortion of the functional layer of the resonator in this embodiment is greatly reduced under the same acting force, that is, the force that the resonator can withstand is increased, thus greatly enhancing the reliability of the film layer and effectively improving the mechanical stability of the device. Bending the active region of the resonator can maximize the reduction of the volume of the resonator and rationally utilize the space under the condition of ensuring that the resonator has high heat dissipation efficiency. In some embodiments, the shapes of the first side L1 and the second side L2 of the active region P are the same or different, and the shapes include, but are not limited to, straight lines, curved lines, or broken lines.
[0029] 3 and 5, FIG. 5 is a plan view of the cavity of the bulk acoustic resonator shown in FIG. 3, in which the resonator in this embodiment has a strip-shaped effective area P, and at least one of the first electrode 103, the piezoelectric layer 104, the second electrode 105, and the acoustic wave reflecting structure 102 is the same as the projection of the effective area P on the substrate 101.
[0030] 3 and 5, this embodiment takes as an example that the sound reflection structure 102 is an underground cavity 1021, the piezoelectric layer 104 is a membrane layer, the sound reflection structure 102, the second electrode 105 and the first electrode 103 are U-shaped, and the U-shaped structures of the sound reflection structure 102, the second electrode 105 and the first electrode 103 are preferably positioned in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 101. Moreover, the size of the U-shaped sound reflection structure 102 is larger than the U-shaped second electrode 105, that is, the shape of the sound reflection structure 102 is proportionally enlarged from the shape of the U-shaped effective area P. The substrate 101 includes 101a and 101b, the substrate 101a and the substrate 101b provide support for the resonator, and the resonator dissipates heat through two paths, the substrate 101a and the substrate 101b, i.e., compared with the normal cavity structure, the substrate 101b increases the heat transfer path, and further increases the heat dissipation efficiency of the resonator. When radio frequency signals are transmitted, the more the contact between the first electrode 103 and the surrounding medium, i.e., the larger the area of the first electrode 103 above the substrate 101b, the larger the dielectric loss of the signal will be, or the higher the requirements for high impedance substrates will be, and the higher the cost will be. In this case, the first electrode 103 above 101b can be etched, i.e., the preferred first electrode 103 in this embodiment is a U-shaped structure, which reduces the contact area between the first electrode 103 and the substrate 101, thereby reducing the dielectric loss and improving the Q value of the resonator device.
[0031] Referring to FIG. 3, in the resonator of the above embodiment, the effective area P between the first free end A1 and the second free end A2 includes at least a first area, a second area, and a connection portion 109, the first area and the second area are connected by the connection portion 109, and the connection portion 109 includes a bending angle of more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees or an arc-shaped connection portion.
[0032] 3, the effective area P of the resonator in this embodiment includes two first areas, one second area, and two connecting parts 109, and the two first areas are connected to the same second area through the two connecting parts 109 to form a U-shaped effective area P, and the connecting parts 109 include a bending angle or arc-shaped connecting part that is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees, and the setting of the connecting parts 109 can be said to be setting the bending part of the U-shaped effective area P of the resonator at an obtuse angle or arc, which can increase the reflection path of the transverse wave and reduce the influence on the main vibration mode of the resonator after the transverse wave is superimposed, thereby reducing parasitics. In addition, the bending part of the cavity is obtuse angle or arc-shaped, which can reduce the influence on the resonator of the stress generated when the sacrificial layer is released.
[0033] Since the heat dissipation efficiency required for the resonator is positively correlated with the resonant frequency and power tolerance, the value of the H / D ratio can be set according to the resonant frequency and power tolerance to ensure that the resonator still has good heat dissipation efficiency under the conditions of high frequency and high power tolerance. For low, medium and high frequency resonators, any resonator with a band-shaped effective area can improve the heat dissipation efficiency, and the heat dissipation effect is more prominent especially for high frequency resonators.
[0034] FIG. 6 is a thermodynamic emulation diagram of a resonator with a normal sandwich structure, and FIG. 7 is a thermodynamic emulation diagram of a bulk acoustic resonator provided by another embodiment of the present application, in which the resonator with a normal sandwich structure shown in FIG. 6 has the same effective area and the same resonant frequency (medium-low frequency 2.5 GHZ) as the resonator shown in FIG. 7. As can be seen from the heat distribution of the normal sandwich structure shown in FIG. 6, the heat distribution of the normal sandwich structure is non-uniform, and the closer to the center region, the higher the temperature is, and the heat is accumulated in the center region, with the maximum temperature reaching 40.3°C. Compared with the normal sandwich structure, the heat distribution of the resonator shown in FIG. 7 is more uniform, and the maximum temperature is only 27.9°C, a difference of 12.4°C, which is better than the heat dissipation efficiency of the normal sandwich structure.
[0035] FIG. 8 is a thermodynamic emulation diagram of another ordinary sandwich-structured resonator, and FIG. 9 is a thermodynamic emulation diagram of a bulk acoustic resonator provided by another embodiment of the present application, where the other ordinary sandwich-structured resonator shown in FIG. 8 has the same effective area and the same resonant frequency as the resonator shown in FIG. 9 (high frequency 6GHZ). When the resonator works in a high frequency state, the thickness of the functional layer is thinner, so the heat dissipation efficiency is lower, and the thermal change is more obvious, and the maximum temperature at the center point of the other ordinary sandwich-structured resonator shown in FIG. 8 reaches 163°C. The maximum temperature of the resonator shown in FIG. 9 is only 76.9°C, and in the high frequency state, its temperature distribution is still relatively uniform, there is no obvious heat accumulation, and it reduces from 163°C to 76.9°C, and the difference reaches 86.1°C.
[0036] Due to the good heat dissipation effect of the resonator with a strip-shaped effective area, it is possible to ensure that the long-term operating temperature of the resonator is constant at room temperature or a slightly higher temperature, thereby increasing its operating lifetime, and its advantages are more obvious, especially for high-frequency resonators.
[0037] When the power tolerance of the resonator is constant, the resonant frequency has a positive correlation with the required heat dissipation efficiency, i.e., the higher the resonant frequency, the higher the heat dissipation efficiency required for the resonator, i.e., the larger the value of the ratio of H / D should be. For example, for an ordinary filter, the theoretical minimum power tolerance need is 26 dBm, i.e., 500 milliwatts, which can meet the needs of receiving, transmitting, and carrier aggregation of all 4G to 5G signals. However, in high frequency situations, such as 5 GHz, the heat generation effect of the resonator rises exponentially, and simple optimization can no longer guarantee the long-term reliability and performance stability of the product, and a specific structure needs to be designed, for example, when the resonant frequency is 5 GHz, D can be designed to be 25 to 35 μm and H can be designed to be 90 to 100 μm.
[0038] When the resonant frequency of the resonator is constant, the power allowance is positively correlated with the required heat dissipation efficiency, i.e., the higher the power allowance, the higher the heat dissipation efficiency required for the resonator, i.e., the larger the value of the H / D ratio should be. When the required filter power allowance needs are high, for example, the power allowance needs are 33 dBm, 37 dBm, and 40 dBm, i.e., 1 watt, 5 watts, and 10 watts, respectively, in this case, the structure of the resonator needs to be adjusted, for example, H / D is designed to be between 5 and 8, and the required heat dissipation efficiency is achieved by increasing the H / D ratio. For example, under the condition that the resonant frequency is 5 GHz, the power allowance is 500 milliwatts, and the effective area P is kept equal, H / D is set to 3. For example, under the condition that the resonant frequency is 5 GHz, the power allowance is 1 watt, and the effective area P is kept equal, H / D can be set to 6. As mentioned above, the design of the resonator can be adjusted comprehensively according to the performance, band, and power needs, and if a higher power budget is required, for example, 43 dBm, i.e., 20 watts, it can be realized by the above method. The power budget can be the power budget need of the filter or the power budget need of the resonator, and the parameters of the resonator can be adjusted according to the actual needs.
[0039] In the resonator of the above embodiment, the shortest distances from the multiple points A to the second side L2 correspond to multiple Ds, and the multiple Ds have maximum and minimum values, with the ratio of the maximum and minimum values being 1.5:1.
[0040] In the above embodiment of the resonator, the effective area P has a first side L1 and a second side L2 arranged opposite to each other, an arbitrary point on the first side L1 is selected as point A, and the shortest distance from point A to the second side L2 is selected as D, and the number of points A on the first side L1 is several, and the shortest distance D from the several points A to the second side L2 also has several values accordingly, and the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value of the several values is 1.5:1. Within the effective area P, 1 / 2 of the sum of the maximum distance and the minimum distance between the first free end A1 and the second free end A2 is H, and H / D>3. The size of H can be determined according to the shape of the first free end A1 and the second free end A2, the ends of the first free end A1 and the second free end A2 include, but are not limited to, a straight line, a broken line, or an arc shape, when the ends of the first free end A1 and the second free end A2 are straight lines, the length of H can be calculated from the ends of the free ends, in this case, H is half the sum of the lengths of the first side L1 and the second side L2. When the ends of the first free end A1 and the second free end A2 are broken lines or arc shapes, the lengths of the first free end A1 and the second free end A2 can be ignored, because compared with the extension length of the effective area P, the lengths of the first free end A1 and the second free end A2 are very short and can be ignored for convenience of calculation, so H can be further calculated by half the sum of the lengths of the first side L1 and the second side L2. On the premise of ensuring that the area of the effective region P does not change, when H increases, the corresponding D / 2 is reduced, which effectively shortens the distance between the heat concentration region and the substrate 101, and further increases the heat dissipation efficiency. Furthermore, K=H / D can be defined as the heat dissipation index of the resonator device, and under the condition that the material of the substrate, the material of the electrode of the resonator, the material of the piezoelectric layer 104 of the resonator, the electrode of the resonator, the thickness of the piezoelectric layer 104, and the effective area of the resonator do not change, the larger K is, the lower the working temperature of the resonator is, and preferably K>3.
[0041] In the resonator of the above embodiment, the height range of the sound wave reflecting structure 102 is 0.1 to 0.5 μm.
[0042] When the sound wave reflection structure 102 is a cavity 1021, in a normal situation, the height of the cavity 1021 is between 0.5-2 μm, and when the resonator resonates, the functional layer such as the upper first electrode 103 can be prevented from being connected to the substrate 101. In this embodiment, when the resonator achieves the required design area by designing the effective area A1, D can be designed small, and compared with the normal sandwich structure, the strain amount of the functional layer is greatly reduced under the same acting force, that is, the force that the resonator can withstand is increased, and thus the reliability of the film layer is greatly enhanced, and the height of the cavity 1021 is reduced to between 0.1-0.5 μm, in this case, the heat dissipation path is further shortened, and thus the heat dissipation efficiency of the resonator is further enhanced.
[0043] Regarding the cavity 1021 fitted inside the substrate 101, if the height of the cavity 1021 is increased, for example, to more than 0.5 μm, the height of the substrate 101 increases accordingly, and the distance over which the heat of the resonator is transferred from the upper surface of the substrate 101 to the lower surface of the substrate 101 increases, and the heat tends to accumulate in the vertical direction of the substrate 101, which is disadvantageous for heat dissipation. If the height of the cavity 1021 is smaller than 0.1 μm, the functional layer of the resonator may be connected to the substrate 101. In this embodiment, the height of the cavity 1021 is set to be 0.1 to 0.5 μm, and compared with the traditional cavity 1021, the height of the cavity 1021 is reduced, and the height of the substrate 101 can be reduced accordingly, so that the distance that the heat propagates in the vertical direction of the substrate 101 is reduced, and the heat is transferred to the bottom of the cavity 1021, i.e., along the horizontal direction of the substrate 101. By reducing the height of the cavity 1021, the resonator is converted from dissipating heat from both sides of the substrate 101 to dissipating heat from the bottom surface of the substrate 101, and the heat dissipation efficiency is greatly improved. Furthermore, the height of the cavity 1021 is reduced, which reduces the cost of depositing the sacrificial layer and shortens the release time.
[0044] In the above embodiment, when the acoustic reflection structure 102 is a Bragg reflection layer, there is direct contact between the Bragg reflection layer and the functional layer, and therefore the thinner Bragg reflection layer can reduce the thermal resistance between the functional layer and the underside of the substrate. Therefore, reducing the height to 0.1-0.5 μm can shorten the heat dissipation path, improve the heat dissipation efficiency, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the Bragg reflection layer.
[0045] 10 and 11, Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view of a bulk acoustic resonator provided by another embodiment of the present application, and Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a resonator provided by another embodiment of the present application. There are a first non-effective area C1 and a second non-effective area C2 outside the effective area P, and there is a gap between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105 and / or between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the first electrode 103 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 101 to form the first non-effective area C1.
[0046] 10 and 11, a gap is provided between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105 and / or between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the first electrode 103 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 101, so that a separation is formed between the film layers in the area corresponding to the gap, that is, the piezoelectric layer 104 in the area where the gap is located cannot contact at least the second electrode 105 or the first electrode 103 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 101, so that no extra parasitic vibration is generated. Note that providing a gap in the resonator includes, but is not limited to, providing one or two gaps between two layers of the first electrode 103, the piezoelectric layer 104, and the second electrode 105 above the substrate 101 in the inner area of the sound reflection structure 102, so as to form a first non-effective area C1 in the area. In this embodiment, a second non-effective area C2 is further included, and the second non-effective area C2 is an area other than the first non-effective area C1 and the effective area P.
[0047] As shown in FIG. 10 , in another embodiment of the present application, the upper surface of the first electrode 103 and / or the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer 104 has a first recess 1061, and there is a first gap 1071 between at least one of the first recesses 1061 and the second electrode 105.
[0048] 10, the sound wave reflecting structure 102 is U-shaped and embedded in the substrate 101. In the direction perpendicular to the substrate 101, the upper surface of the first electrode 103 has a first recess 1061, the piezoelectric layer 104 deposited on the first recess 1061 also forms a third recess 1062 with the shape of the first recess 1061 changing, and the second electrode 105 is deposited on the piezoelectric layer 104 across the third recess 1062, in this case, a first gap 1071 is formed between the third recess 1062 and the second electrode 105. In another modified embodiment, the upper surface of the first electrode 103 has a first recess 1061, and the piezoelectric layer 104 is grown horizontally across the first recess 1061, i.e., there is no recess on the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer, and a first gap 1071 is formed between the first recess 1061 and the piezoelectric layer 104. In another modified embodiment, the first electrode 103 is a film layer, there is no recess on its upper surface, and the first recess 1061 is directly formed on the piezoelectric layer 104 by a method such as etching, and the second electrode 105 is deposited on the piezoelectric layer 104 across the first recess 1061. Due to the separation of the first gap 1071, the second electrode 105 and the piezoelectric layer 104 cannot contact each other in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 101, and therefore no extra parasitic vibration is generated. In other embodiments, the central region of the first electrode 103 may be partially or completely etched to form a gap between it and the flatly grown piezoelectric layer 104 above, or the first electrode 103 may be etched to expose the surface of the substrate 101, to form a gap between the flatly grown piezoelectric layer 104 and the exposed surface of the substrate 101.
[0049] Referring to FIG. 11, the first electrode 103, or the first electrode 103 and the piezoelectric layer 104, are recessed downward to form second recessed portions 1063, and a second gap 1072 is formed between at least one of the second recessed portions 1063 and the second electrode 105, and the second gap 1072 is located in the first non-effective area C1.
[0050] 11, neither the first electrode 103 nor the piezoelectric layer 104 is subjected to processing such as etching, and the sound wave reflecting structure 102 is located on the surface of the substrate 101 and is sandwiched between the first electrode 103 and the substrate 101. That is, the first electrode 103 protrudes upward at the position of the effective region P and is recessed downward in the first non-effective region C1 to form a second recessed portion 1063, and the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105 are grown flat above the second recessed portion 1063, thereby forming a second gap 1072 between the second recessed portion 1063 of the first electrode 103 and the piezoelectric layer 104. Alternatively, the first electrode 103 protrudes upward at the position of the effective region P and is recessed downward at the first non-effective region C1, and the piezoelectric layer 104 is directly grown on the first electrode 103 and recesses along with the recess of the first electrode 103, forming a second recess 1063 on the piezoelectric layer 104. In this case, a second gap 1072 is formed between the second recess 1063 of the piezoelectric layer 104 and the flatly grown second electrode 105, and the second gap 1072 is located in the first non-effective region C1. The sound wave reflection structure 102 is a cavity 1021. In this embodiment, the second gap 1072 separates the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 101, so that the resonator at that location does not generate extra parasitic vibration. The above gap may be filled with air or a medium material, as long as the gap does not generate extra parasitic vibration in the area.
[0051] In the resonators of the above embodiments, the shape of the projection of the effective area P on the substrate 101 includes U-shape, S-shape, W-shape, spiral shape or snake shape.
[0052] In the situation where the heat dissipation efficiency is guaranteed, the effective area P is curved at least once to reduce the area of the resonator to the maximum extent. On the premise that the effective area of the resonator is kept unchanged, the resonator is arranged in a strip shape, the length H of the effective area P is increased, the width D of the effective area P is reduced, and the circumference of the resonator is further increased to improve its heat dissipation capability.

Furthermore, the effective area P of the resonator may be bent more times to form a spiral or snake-shaped effective area, and of course, the snake-shaped effective area can be said to be formed by connecting multiple S-shaped effective areas.
