Semiconductor structure and method for forming the same
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on January 4, 2024, with application number 202410010633.4 and invention name “Semiconductor structure and method for forming the same”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. Background Art
[0003] Piezoelectric surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters are widely used in radio frequency (RF) front-end chips for wireless communication devices such as mobile phones and base stations. They utilize a metal electrode layer on the surface of a piezoelectric layer to excite surface acoustic waves, achieving acoustic-to-electrical conversion and filtering the signal. SAW resonators are the basic building blocks of SAW filters. Connecting different SAW resonators on the same piezoelectric layer through metal traces forms the core of a SAW filter.
[0004] The increase in communication frequency bands and the miniaturization of communication equipment require SAW filters to be smaller, resulting in congested resonators in limited space. Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are elastic waves that propagate on solid surfaces. When two SAW resonators are closely spaced (d ≤ 30 μm, where d is the spacing) and have similar wavelengths (|λ1-λ2| ≤ 0.05 μm, where λ is the wavelength), the surface acoustic waves they excite on the substrate surface interfere with each other, degrading the filter's overall performance.
[0005] Therefore, when the distance between two adjacent SAW resonators is close, how to reduce or even eliminate the mutual interference of the surface acoustic waves excited by them on the substrate surface to ensure the overall performance of the filter is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the arrangement of the reflective structure 103 and the reflective structure 203 is generally regular, and there are many parallel reflective surfaces, which easily lead to the superposition of reflected sound waves. When this superposition reaches a certain extent, it will cause substantial interference to the filter, affecting the overall performance of the filter and being detrimental to the use of the filter.
[0056] On this basis, the present invention provides a semiconductor structure having multiple reflection structures between two resonators, wherein at least two of the three items of the shape of the reflection structure, the size of the reflection structure, and the arrangement of the multiple reflection structures are irregular, thereby improving the scattering degree of surface acoustic waves at the reflection structure, so that the reflected surface acoustic waves have more different reflection angles, thereby reducing the probability of superposition of reflected surface acoustic waves and increasing the probability of mutual cancellation of reflected surface acoustic waves, so as to achieve the effect of reducing mutual interference between interdigital transducers and reducing the impact of reflected surface acoustic waves on the interdigital transducers, thereby improving the overall performance of the formed semiconductor structure.
