Abstract
Description
An interdigital transducer structure, a filter structure and an electronic device Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to an interdigital transducer structure, a filter structure and an electronic device. Background Art
[0002] As communication technology evolves from 2G to 5G, the number of communication frequency bands has gradually increased (from 4 frequency bands in 2G to more than 50 frequency bands in 5G). In order to improve the compatibility of smartphones with different communication standards, the amount of filters required for 5G smartphones will increase significantly, driving large-scale growth in the filter market. The RF filters currently widely used in wireless communication terminals are surface acoustic wave filters, which are responsible for filtering RF signals in the receiving and transmitting channels and outputting signals of specific frequencies from the various input RF signals. At the same time, with the continuous development of mobile communication technology and the development of RF front-end modularization, the popularization of high-end applications has led to the demand for filters becoming more complex, high-end, and miniaturized.
[0003] Conventional SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) filters are currently widely used in RF filters. However, for high-end devices, the performance degradation caused by the transverse modes of conventional SAW structures makes it difficult to meet the requirements of RF front-end chips. Conventional SAW, as a conventional design, has a structure shown in Figure 1, consisting only of a conventional bus bar 61 and interdigitated electrode strips 62. Conventional SAW, used as a resonator and RF filter, produces strong transverse modes, making it difficult to meet the low insertion loss requirements of high-end device designs.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a filter structure that can effectively suppress the transverse mode of SAW in radio frequency applications.
[0005] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the convenience of providing a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of this application and for the convenience of understanding by those skilled in the art. It cannot be considered that the above technical solutions are well known to those skilled in the art simply because these solutions are explained in the background technology part of this application.

[0065] Numerical ranges in the context of this application include the limits of the range.
[0066] Example 1:
[0067] As shown in FIG2 , this embodiment provides an IDT structure, which includes: bus bars, electrode bars, weighted connecting bars, and a load structure;
[0068] The busbar includes a first busbar 11 and a second busbar 12 arranged in parallel, and the electrode strips include a first electrode strip 21 and a second electrode strip 22; a plurality of the first electrode strips 21 are provided on the first busbar 11, and a plurality of the second electrode strips 22 are provided on the second busbar 12, and the plurality of first electrode strips 21 and the plurality of second electrode strips 22 are relatively spaced and arranged in an intermediate area between the first busbar 11 and the second busbar 12; the end of the electrode strip connected to the busbar is a connecting end 23, and the end of the electrode strip away from the connecting end 23 is a free end 24; a direction parallel to the first busbar 11 is a first direction, a direction perpendicular to the first direction and parallel to the plane where the interdigital transducer structure is located is a second direction, and a third direction is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction;
[0069] The middle region includes an interdigital region B and a unipolar region A that does not belong to the interdigital region B. The interdigital region B is a region formed between an edge of the free end 24 of the first electrode strip 21 and an edge of the free end 24 of the second electrode strip 22.
[0070] The weighted connecting bar is located in the monopolar region A, and the weighted connecting bar is located between the free end 24 of the first electrode bar 21 and the second bus bar 12, and / or between the free end 24 of the second electrode bar 12 and the first bus bar 11;
[0071] There is a preset distance in the second direction between the projection of the load structure on the electrode strip and the edge of the free end 24 of the electrode strip.
[0072] The present application sets the load structure on the two end surfaces of the interdigital region B along the second direction, and adjusts the sound velocity of the monopole region A and the interdigital region B through the load structure to achieve maximum suppression of transverse mode ripples; in addition, by setting a preset distance between the projection of the load structure on the electrode strip and the edge of the free end 24 in the second direction, the cost required for the load structure is reduced, and at the same time, the risk of short circuit between the electrode strips due to the existence of the load structure is avoided.
[0073] In addition, after testing, in the comparative test, a comparison is made based on whether there is a preset distance in the second direction between the projection of the load structure on the electrode strip and the edge of the free end 24. The presence of a preset distance in the second direction between the projection of the load structure on the electrode strip and the edge of the free end 24 is better than the absence of a preset distance in the second direction between the projection of the load structure on the electrode strip and the edge of the free end 24 (that is, the projection of the load structure on the electrode strip coincides with the edge of the free end 24, for example, the load structure is set on the edge of the free end, and the distance from the edge is zero). This can make the lateral mode suppression effect within the RF filter band better, the flatness within the passband better, further improve the characteristics of the RF filter, and enhance the performance of the RF filter. Specifically, FIG2 shows the case where the weighted connecting strip is set between the free end 24 of the first electrode strip 21 and the second bus bar 12, and between the free end 24 of the second electrode strip 22 and the first bus bar 11. The weighted connecting strip can also be set at only one of them.
[0074] In one embodiment, the load structure may be on the upper surface and / or lower surface of the electrode strip. FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the load structure on the upper surface of the electrode strip.
[0075] In one embodiment, an additional layer is provided between the load structure and the electrode strips.
[0076] In one embodiment, the additional layer is a temperature compensation layer and / or a passivation layer.
[0077] In one embodiment, the load structure is a primary weighting portion 51, and the primary weighting portion 51 is respectively located on the surface of the free end 24 of the first electrode strip 21, and / or the surface of the second electrode strip 22 at a position corresponding to the free end 24 of the first electrode strip 21 in the first direction, and / or the surface of the free end 24 of the second electrode strip 22, and / or the surface of the first electrode strip 21 at a position corresponding to the free end 24 of the second electrode strip 22 in the first direction.
[0078] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the primary weighting portion 51 is set in all four of the above-mentioned positions. The primary weighting portion 51 can also be set in any one of the above-mentioned four positions or any combination of more than one. It can be adjusted and selected according to the cost and performance requirements of the SAW, and all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0079] Specifically, the surface on which the primary weighting part 51 is located includes an upper surface and / or a lower surface, or a structure with an additional layer arranged between the surface. The additional layer may be a temperature compensation layer and / or a passivation layer, etc., all of which fall within the scope of protection of this application. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the primary weighting part 51 on the upper surface of the electrode strip.
[0080] The present application further improves the acoustic wave propagation properties between the monopole region A and the interdigital region B by providing a primary weighting portion 51 on the surface of the free end 24 within the interdigital region B and the corresponding electrode strip surface, thereby further suppressing the transverse mode of the surface acoustic wave filter, reducing losses, and improving the quality factor. As shown in Figures 3-5, the resonance curves of a conventional SAW in the prior art and the present application with a weighted connecting strip and a primary weighting portion 51 are compared, where the prior art is represented by a dotted line and the present application's solution is represented by a solid line. It can be seen that compared with the prior art, the present application's solution significantly reduces the burrs and splitting phenomena in the resonance curve. Experiments have shown that a single weighted connecting strip and the primary weighting portion 51 have a better suppression effect on transverse mode ripples than multiple weighted connecting strips. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the resonance curves are compared for a normal SAW (the dotted line curve in the figure), a SAW with only a primary weighting portion 51 (the dotted line curve in the figure), and a filter with a primary weighting portion 51 and a single weighting connecting strip (the solid line curve in the figure). It can be seen that the resonance curve of the filter with the primary weighting portion 51 and a single weighting connecting strip is the smoothest, the burr phenomenon is the smallest, the loss on both sides of the passband is smaller, and the quality factor obtained is the highest.
[0081] In one embodiment, FIG8 is an enlarged view of the load structure as a primary weighted portion 51 interdigital transducer structure, wherein the weighted connecting strips include a first weighted connecting strip 31 and a second weighted connecting strip 32 , wherein the projections of the first weighted connecting strip 31 in the first direction overlap, and the projections of the second weighted connecting strip 32 in the first direction overlap;
[0082] The lengths CB of the first weighted connecting bar 31 and the second weighted connecting bar 32 in parallel with the second direction are both 0.02λ-0.25λ, the minimum distance Gap2 between each free end 24 and the weighted connecting bar closest to it in parallel with the second direction is 0.02λ-0.4λ, and the minimum distance Gap1 between each free end 24 and the bus bar closest to it in parallel with the second direction is 1λ-2λ;
[0083] The projection of each primary weighted portion 51 on the plane where the interdigital transducer structure is located is located inside the projection of the electrode strip where each primary weighted portion 51 is located on the plane where the interdigital transducer structure is located, the length of the electrode strip where the primary weighted portion 51 is located in the first direction is greater than the length of the primary weighted portion 51 in the first direction, and the length Piston of each primary weighted portion 51 parallel to the second direction is 0.5λ-1λ;
[0084] The projection of each of the primary weighted portions 51 on the plane where the interdigital transducer structure is located is located inside the projection of the electrode strip where each of the primary weighted portions 51 is located on the plane where the interdigital transducer structure is located; the length of the electrode strip where each of the primary weighted portions 51 is located in the first direction is greater than the length of the primary weighted portion 51 in the first direction; the minimum distance Gap3 between each of the primary weighted portions 51 and the edge of the electrode strip where each of the primary weighted portions 51 is located, which is parallel to the first direction, is 0.005λ-0.03λ; and the minimum distance Gap4 between each of the primary weighted portions 51 and the edge of the electrode strip where each of the primary weighted portions 51 is located, which is parallel to the second direction, is 0.005λ-0.03λ;
[0085] λ is the wavelength of the surface acoustic wave propagating in the interdigital transducer structure.
[0086] This application further optimizes the sound wave propagation mode and reduces the transverse mode ripple by setting the width of the primary weighting part 51 to be smaller than the electrode strip. While optimizing the SAW performance, the number of primary weighting parts 51 required is reduced, the weight required for the filter is reduced, and the application of SAW miniaturization and lightness is facilitated.
[0087] In one embodiment, the primary weight portion 51 is a laminated structure of chromium, copper, and chromium from top to bottom along the third direction; or the primary weight portion 51 is a laminated structure of chromium, silver, and chromium from top to bottom along the third direction.
[0088] The present application further optimizes the suppression of the lateral mode by the primary weight part 51 by setting the material of the primary weight part 51 to a laminated structure of chromium / copper / chromium or chromium / silver / chromium. Experiments on various materials have shown that the laminated structures of chromium / copper / chromium and chromium / silver / chromium as the material of the primary weight part 51 can achieve optimal performance, while improving the adhesion of the primary weight part 51 to the electrode strip.
[0089] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the weighted connecting strips include a first weighted connecting strip 31 and a second weighted connecting strip 32. The two adjacent first weighted connecting strips 31 along the first direction are staggered in the second direction so that the projections of the two adjacent first weighted connecting strips 31 in the first direction do not overlap; the two adjacent second weighted connecting strips 32 along the first direction are staggered in the second direction so that the projections of the two adjacent second weighted connecting strips 32 in the first direction do not overlap.
[0090] The present application further improves the influence of the weighted connecting strips on the acoustic wave propagation properties between the monopole region A and the interdigitated region B by coordinating the structure of the weighted connecting strips with staggered distribution, thereby further optimizing the suppression effect on the transverse mode.
[0091] In one embodiment, FIG10 is an enlarged view of the interdigital transduction structure in which the weighted connecting strips 31 are staggered, wherein the minimum distances Gap5 and Gap6 between two adjacent first weighted connecting strips 31 and their corresponding second electrode strips 22 in the second direction are 0.02λ-0.4λ and 0.1λ-0.6λ, respectively; the minimum distances Gap5 and Gap6 between two adjacent second weighted connecting strips 32 and their corresponding first electrode strips 21 in the second direction are 0.02λ-0.4λ and 0.1λ-0.6λ, respectively; the lengths CB1 and CB2 of the first weighted connecting strip 31 and the second weighted connecting strip 32 parallel to the second direction are both 0.02λ-0.25λ; the minimum distance Gap1 between each free end 24 and the bus bar closest to it in the second direction is 1λ-2λ;
