[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on February 9, 2024, with application number 202410178605.3 and invention name “Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator Device, Formation Method Thereof, and Filtering Device”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a bulk acoustic wave resonator device, a forming method thereof, and a filtering device. Background Art

[0003] The radio frequency (RF) front-end chips for wireless communication devices include power amplifiers, antenna switches, RF filters, multiplexers including duplexers, and low-noise amplifiers. 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.

[0004] BAW resonators have a high quality factor (Q value). RF filters made from BAW resonators offer low insertion loss and high out-of-band rejection, making them one of the mainstream RF filters used in wireless communication devices such as mobile phones and base stations. The Q value is the resonator's quality factor, defined as the center frequency divided by the resonator's 3dB bandwidth. BAW filters typically operate in the 0.7GHz to 7GHz range.

[0005] As wireless communication technology evolves, more and more frequency bands are being used. Simultaneously, with the application of frequency-band overlapping technologies like carrier aggregation, mutual interference between wireless frequency bands has become increasingly severe. High-performance bulk acoustic wave (BAW) technology can address this inter-band interference problem. With the advent of 5G, wireless mobile networks are introducing higher frequency bands. Currently, only BAW technology can address the filtering issues in these high-frequency bands.

Since the cutoff frequency of the first attenuation region matches (for example, is equal to or less than) the cutoff frequency of the resonance region, and the acoustic impedance of the first limiting region is mismatched with the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation region, that is, the impedance difference is large, the main transverse mode can first pass through the first attenuation region without being affected, and then be fully reflected back to the resonance region in the first limiting region, thereby significantly reducing transverse leakage waves; however, high-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first attenuation region will experience attenuation. By reasonably setting the width of the first attenuation region, the high-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated in the first attenuation region, and only a small amount or even no high-order transverse parasitic modes enter the first limiting region, thereby preventing the high-order transverse parasitic modes from reflecting back to the resonance region and coupling with the main transverse mode, thereby improving the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value.

[0049] In the method for forming a bulk acoustic wave resonator device according to the technical solution of the present invention, the first dielectric layer is located between the first attenuation portion, the first limiting portion, and the piezoelectric layer. Therefore, the first attenuation region and the first limiting region corresponding to the first dielectric layer do not undergo acoustic-to-electrical conversion, and thus do not excite additional parasitic resonances. Since the cutoff frequency of the first attenuation region matches (e.g., is equal to or less than) the cutoff frequency of the resonance region, and the acoustic impedance of the first limiting region is mismatched with the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation region, that is, the impedance difference is large, the main transverse mode can first pass through the first attenuation region without being affected, and then be fully reflected back to the resonance region in the first limiting region, thereby significantly reducing transverse leakage waves; however, high-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first attenuation region will experience attenuation. By reasonably setting the width of the first attenuation region, the high-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated in the first attenuation region, with only a small amount or even no high-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first limiting region, thereby preventing the high-order transverse parasitic modes from reflecting back to the resonance region and coupling with the main transverse mode, thereby improving the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value.

[0062] As described in the background art, BAW resonator devices still have many problems, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] FIG1 is a schematic structural diagram of a bulk acoustic wave resonance device.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1. A bulk acoustic wave resonator device includes: a substrate 100, wherein the substrate 100 has a cavity 101, and the surface of the substrate 100 exposes the cavity 101; a lower electrode layer 102 located on the substrate 100, covering the cavity 101; a piezoelectric layer 103 located on the lower electrode layer 102; an upper electrode layer 104 located on the piezoelectric layer 103, wherein the projections of the upper electrode layer 104 and the lower electrode layer 102 toward the substrate 100 have an overlapping area, and the overlapping area constitutes a resonance area; a raised edge structure 105 located on the piezoelectric layer 103, wherein the raised edge structure 105 surrounds the upper electrode layer 104; a reflection area, located laterally outside the resonance area and surrounding the resonance area, wherein the reflection area includes the raised edge structure 105, and the acoustic impedance of the reflection area is out of sync with the acoustic impedance of the resonance area, that is, the acoustic impedance difference is large.

[0065] There are two main factors that reduce the quality factor at the parallel resonance point of a bulk acoustic wave resonator: (1) the acoustic wave propagates laterally from the resonance region to areas outside the resonance region, causing acoustic energy leakage; and (2) the coupling of high-order transverse parasitic modes with the transverse main mode.

[0066] In the above-described embodiment, the formation of the reflective region laterally outside the resonant region by the raised edge structure 105 can suppress the effects of the first factor, reflecting the first-order transverse mode (the main mode) back into the resonant region, thereby preventing the leakage of most acoustic energy. However, this does not alleviate the second factor. Furthermore, reflecting the first-order transverse mode also reflects higher-order transverse parasitic modes, increasing their coupling with the main mode and preventing further improvement in the Q of the BAW resonator.

[0067] On this basis, the present invention provides a bulk acoustic wave resonator device, a method for forming the same, and a filtering device. The first dielectric layer is located between the first attenuation portion, the first limiting portion, and the piezoelectric layer. Therefore, the first attenuation region and the first limiting region corresponding to the first dielectric layer do not undergo acoustic-to-electrical conversion, thereby not exciting additional parasitic resonances. Because the cutoff frequency of the first attenuation region matches (e.g., is equal to or less than) the cutoff frequency of the resonance region, while the acoustic impedance of the first limiting region is mismatched with the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation region, i.e., the impedance difference is large, the main transverse mode can first pass through the first attenuation region unaffected and then be fully reflected back to the resonance region in the first limiting region, thereby significantly reducing transverse leakage waves. However, high-order transverse parasitic modes that enter the first attenuation region will experience attenuation. By properly setting the width of the first attenuation region, the high-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated within the first attenuation region, with only a small amount or even no high-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first limiting region. This prevents the high-order transverse parasitic modes from reflecting back to the resonance region and coupling with the main transverse mode, thereby improving the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value.

[0068] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0095] In this embodiment, the first electrode layer 207 is formed on the first side 2041 , and the first resonant portion 207 a contacts the piezoelectric layer 204 . That is, the first electrode layer 207 is the upper electrode layer of the BAW resonator.

[0096] In this embodiment, the second electrode layer 203 corresponds to the first electrode layer 207 , and the second resonant portion 203 a corresponds to the first resonant portion 207 a .

[0097] In this embodiment, the first dielectric portion 205a is located between a portion of the first attenuation portion 207b and the piezoelectric layer 204, and the second dielectric portion 205b is located between the first limiting portion 207c and the piezoelectric layer 204. In this embodiment, the first load layer 206 corresponds to the first limiting portion 207c. Specifically, the first load layer 206 is formed between the second dielectric portion 205b and the first limiting portion 207c. It should be noted that the first attenuation portion 207b includes a first sub-portion 207b1 and a second sub-portion 207b2, with the second sub-portion 207b2 located outside the first sub-portion 207b1. The angle between the first sub-portion 207b1 and the first resonant portion 207a is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°. The angle between the first sub-portion 207b1 and the second sub-portion 207b2 is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°.

[0098] 8 , in this embodiment, the angle between the first sub-portion 207b1 and the first resonant portion 207a is equal to 90°, and the angle between the first sub-portion 207b1 and the second sub-portion 207b2 is equal to 90°.

[0099] In this embodiment, the first dielectric portion 205 a is located between the second sub-portion 207 b 2 and the piezoelectric layer 204 ; the first dielectric portion 205 a is located outside the first sub-portion 207 b 1 .

[0100] Please refer to Figure 9. In other embodiments, the angle between the first sub-section 207b1 and the first resonant section 207a is greater than 90° and less than 180°, and the angle between the first sub-section 207b1 and the second sub-section 207b2 is greater than 90° and less than 180°; the first dielectric section 205a is also located between part of the first sub-section 207b1 and the piezoelectric layer 204.

[0101] In this embodiment, the method further includes forming a resonance region 208 , wherein the resonance region 208 includes the first resonance portion 207 a , the second resonance portion 203 a , and the piezoelectric layer 204 formed between the first resonance portion 207 a and the second resonance portion 203 a .

[0102] In this embodiment, the second non-resonant portion 203 b corresponds to the first attenuation portion 207 b and the first limiting portion 207 c.

[0103] In this embodiment, the present invention further includes: a first attenuation zone 209 formed outside the resonance zone 208, suitable for attenuating sound waves, the first attenuation zone 209 surrounds the resonance zone 208, and the first attenuation zone 209 includes a first attenuation portion 207b, the first dielectric portion 205a, and the second non-resonant portion 203b corresponding to the first attenuation portion 207b; a first restriction zone 210 formed outside the first attenuation zone 209, suitable for reflecting sound waves, the first restriction zone 210 surrounds the first attenuation zone 209, and the first restriction zone 210 includes a first restriction portion 207c, the second dielectric portion 205b, the first load layer 206, and the second non-resonant portion 203b corresponding to the first restriction portion 207c.

[0104] It should be noted that the thickness range of the first dielectric layer 205 includes: 0.1t to 2t, where t represents the thickness of the first electrode layer 207; the width range of the first dielectric portion 205a includes: 0.2s to 6s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonance zone 208 (for example, the sum of the thicknesses of the first resonance portion 207a, the second resonance portion 203a and the piezoelectric layer 204).

[0105] It should be noted that the thickness range of the first load layer 206 includes: 0.1t to 3t, where t represents the thickness of the first electrode layer 207; the width range of the first load layer 206 includes: 0.2s to 6s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonance zone 208.

[0106] In this embodiment, the material density of the first load layer 206 is greater than or equal to the material density of the first electrode layer 207, so as to increase the overall mass of the first restriction zone 210, thereby increasing the difference between the acoustic impedance of the first restriction zone 210 and the acoustic impedance of the resonance zone 208, thereby forming an acoustic impedance mismatch.

[0107] It should be noted that the spacing between the outer edge of the first electrode layer 207 and the outer edge of the first load layer 206 ranges from -2s to 2s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonant region 208. A negative spacing value 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 spacing value 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 spacing between the outer edges of the first electrode layer 207 and the outer edges of the first load layer 206 is 0 (i.e., they are flush).

[0108] The first dielectric layer 205 is located between the first attenuation portion 207b, the first limiting portion 207c and the piezoelectric layer 204. Therefore, the first attenuation area 209 and the first limiting area 210 corresponding to the first dielectric layer 205 do not undergo acoustic-to-electrical conversion, and thus do not excite additional parasitic resonances. Since the cutoff frequency of the first attenuation zone 209 matches (for example, is equal to or less than) the cutoff frequency of the resonance zone 208, and the acoustic impedance of the first restriction zone 210 is mismatched with the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation zone 209, that is, the impedance difference is relatively large, the main transverse mode can first pass through the first attenuation zone 209 without being affected, and then be fully reflected back to the resonance zone in the first restriction zone 210, thereby significantly reducing the transverse leakage wave; however, the high-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first attenuation zone 209 will experience attenuation. By reasonably setting the width of the first attenuation zone 209, the high-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated in the first attenuation zone 209, and only a small amount or even no high-order transverse parasitic modes can enter the first restriction zone 210, thereby preventing the high-order transverse parasitic modes from being reflected back to the resonance zone 208 and coupling with the main transverse mode, thereby improving the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 44, in which the horizontal axis is frequency, the vertical axis on the left is the amplitude of the real part of impedance, and the vertical axis on the right is the quality factor (BodeQ) that changes with frequency. The solid line with triangle symbols in the figure represents the amplitude of the real part of impedance of the bulk acoustic wave resonator in the present invention, and the dotted line with triangle symbols represents the amplitude of the real part of impedance of the bulk acoustic wave resonator in the prior art. 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 in the present invention, and the dotted line represents the BodeQ curve of the bulk acoustic wave resonator in the prior art. The maximum vertical value point of the curve is the Qmax value, and the BodeQ of the bulk acoustic wave resonator corresponding to the parallel resonant frequency is the parallel resonance Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonator. It can be seen from the figure that the Qmax value and the parallel resonance Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonator provided by the embodiment of the present invention are significantly better than those of the prior art.

[0110] Continuing to refer to FIG. 8 , after the first electrode layer 207 is formed, the sacrificial layer 202 is removed.

[0111] In this embodiment, after the sacrificial layer 202 is removed, the second electrode layer 203 is formed between the cavity 201 and the piezoelectric layer 204 and covers the cavity 201 .

[0113] The first dielectric layer 205 is located between the first attenuation portion 207b, the first limiting portion 207c and the piezoelectric layer 204. Therefore, the first attenuation area 209 and the first limiting area 210 corresponding to the first dielectric layer 205 do not undergo acoustic-to-electrical conversion, and thus do not excite additional parasitic resonances. Since the cutoff frequency of the first attenuation zone 209 matches (for example, is equal to or less than) the cutoff frequency of the resonance zone 208, and the acoustic impedance of the first restriction zone 210 is mismatched with the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation zone 209, that is, the impedance difference is relatively large, the main transverse mode can first pass through the first attenuation zone 209 without being affected, and then be fully reflected back to the resonance zone 208 in the first restriction zone 210, thereby significantly reducing the transverse leakage wave; however, the high-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first attenuation zone 209 will experience attenuation. By reasonably setting the width of the first attenuation zone 209, the high-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated in the first attenuation zone 209, and only a small amount or even no high-order transverse parasitic modes can enter the first restriction zone 210, thereby preventing the high-order transverse parasitic modes from being reflected back to the resonance zone 208 and coupling with the main transverse mode, thereby improving the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value.

[0180] In this embodiment, the first load layer 409 corresponds to the first limiting portion 410 c . Specifically, the first load layer 409 is formed between the second dielectric portion 408 b and the first limiting portion 410 c .

[0181] In other embodiments, the first load layer 409 may be formed after the first electrode layer 410 is formed, that is, the first limiting portion 410 c is located between the second dielectric portion 408 b and the first load layer 409 .

[0182] It should be noted that the first attenuation portion 410b includes a first sub-portion 410b1 and a second sub-portion 410b2, and the second sub-portion 410b1 is located outside the first sub-portion 410b1; the angle between the first sub-portion 410b1 and the first resonant portion 410a is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°; the angle between the first sub-portion 410b1 and the second sub-portion 410b2 is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°.

[0183] 25 , in this embodiment, the angle between the first sub-portion 410b1 and the first resonant portion 410a is equal to 90°, and the angle between the first sub-portion 410b1 and the second sub-portion 410b2 is equal to 90°.

[0184] 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.

[0185] In other embodiments, the angle between the first sub-section 410b1 and the first resonant section 410a is greater than 90° and less than 180°, and the angle between the first sub-section 410b1 and the second sub-section 410b2 is greater than 90° and less than 180°; the first dielectric section 408a is also located between part of the first sub-section 410b1 and the piezoelectric layer 401.

[0186] In this embodiment, the method further includes forming a resonance region 411 , wherein the resonance region 411 includes the first resonance portion 410 a , the second resonance portion 402 a , and the piezoelectric layer 401 formed between the first resonance portion 410 a and the second resonance portion 402 a .

[0187] In this embodiment, the third non-resonant portion 402 b corresponds to the first attenuation portion 410 b and the first limiting portion 410 c .

[0188] In this embodiment, it also includes: a first attenuation zone 412 formed outside the resonance zone 411, suitable for attenuating sound waves, the first attenuation zone 412 surrounds the resonance zone 411, the first attenuation zone 412 includes a first attenuation portion 410b, the first dielectric portion 408a, and the third non-resonant portion 402b corresponding to the first attenuation portion 410b; a first restriction zone 413 formed outside the first attenuation zone 412, suitable for reflecting sound waves, the first restriction zone 413 surrounds the first attenuation zone 412, the first restriction zone 413 includes a first restriction portion 410c, the second dielectric portion 408b, the first load layer 409, and the third non-resonant portion 402b corresponding to the first restriction portion 410c.

[0189] It should be noted that the thickness range of the first dielectric layer 408 includes: 0.1t to 2t, where t represents the thickness of the first electrode layer 410; the width range of the first dielectric portion 408a includes: 0.2s to 6s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonance zone 411 (for example, the sum of the thicknesses of the first resonance portion 410a, the second resonance portion 402a and the piezoelectric layer 401).

[0190] It should be noted that the thickness range of the first load layer 409 includes: 0.1t to 3t, where t represents the thickness of the first electrode layer 410; the width range of the first load layer 409 includes: 0.2s to 6s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonance zone 411.

[0191] In this embodiment, the material density of the first load layer 409 is greater than or equal to the material density of the first electrode layer 410, which is used to increase the overall mass of the first restriction area 413, thereby increasing the difference between the acoustic impedance of the first restriction area 413 and the acoustic impedance of the resonance area 411, thereby forming an acoustic impedance mismatch.

[0192] It should be noted that the spacing between the outer edge of the first electrode layer 410 and the outer edge of the first load layer 409 ranges from -2s to 2s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonant region 411. A negative spacing value 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 spacing value 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 spacing between the outer edges of the first electrode layer 410 and the outer edges of the first load layer 409 is 0 (i.e., flush).

[0193] The first dielectric layer 408 is located between the first attenuation portion 410b, the first limiting portion 410c and the piezoelectric layer 401. Therefore, the first attenuation area 412 and the first limiting area 413 corresponding to the first dielectric layer 408 do not undergo acoustic-to-electrical conversion, and thus do not excite additional parasitic resonances. Since the cutoff frequency of the first attenuation zone 412 matches (for example, is equal to or less than) the cutoff frequency of the resonance zone 411, and the acoustic impedance of the first restriction zone 413 is mismatched with the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation zone 412, that is, the impedance difference is large, the main transverse mode can first pass through the first attenuation zone 412 without being affected, and then be fully reflected back to the resonance zone 411 in the first restriction zone 413, thereby greatly reducing the transverse leakage wave; however, the high-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first attenuation zone 412 will experience attenuation. By reasonably setting the width of the first attenuation zone 412, the high-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated in the first attenuation zone 412, and only a small amount or even no high-order transverse parasitic modes enter the first restriction zone 413, thereby preventing the high-order transverse parasitic modes from being reflected back to the resonance zone 411 and coupling with the main transverse mode, thereby improving the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value.

[0194] Referring to FIG. 26 , after forming the first electrode layer 410 , the sacrificial layer 403 is removed to form a cavity 414 . The cavity 414 is embedded in the intermediate layer 404 , and an opening of the cavity 414 is located at the second side 4012 .

[0195] In this embodiment, the cavity 414 is formed on the second side 4012 , the second electrode layer 402 is formed between the cavity 414 and the piezoelectric layer 401 , and the second electrode layer 402 is formed in the cavity 414 .

[0196] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the sound reflection layer includes the cavity 414 .

[0202] It should be noted that the distance between the outer edge of the first electrode layer 410 and the outer edge of the first load layer 409 ranges from -2s to 2s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonant region 411. In this embodiment, the distance between the outer edge of the first electrode layer 410 and the outer edge of the first load layer 409 is a positive value.

[0203] Correspondingly, a bulk acoustic wave resonance device is also provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Please continue to refer to Figure 27. The rest is the same as the above embodiment (Figure 26), except that the first electrode layer 410 also includes a second attenuation portion 410d located outside the first limiting portion 410c, and the second attenuation portion 400a surrounds the first limiting portion; the first dielectric layer 408 also includes a third dielectric portion 408c, and the third dielectric portion 408c is located between the piezoelectric layer 204 and the second attenuation portion 410d; the bulk acoustic wave resonance device also includes: a second attenuation zone 415 located outside the first limiting zone 413, suitable for attenuating high-order transverse sound waves that are not reflected, the second attenuation zone 415 surrounds the first limiting zone 413, and the second attenuation zone 415 includes the second attenuation portion 400a and the third dielectric portion 408c.

[0220] In this embodiment, the first load layer 503 corresponds to the first limiting portion 504 c . Specifically, the first load layer 503 is formed between the second dielectric portion 502 b and the first limiting portion 504 c .

[0224] In this embodiment, the first dielectric portion 502a is located between the second sub-portion 504b2 and the piezoelectric layer 501; the first dielectric portion 502a is located outside the first sub-portion 504b1.

[0226] Referring to FIG. 33 , a sacrificial layer 505 is formed on the first side 5011 .

[0227] In this embodiment, the sacrificial layer 505 covers the first electrode layer 504, the first dielectric layer 502 and the first load layer 503. After the sacrificial layer 505 is subsequently removed to form a cavity, the first electrode layer 504, the first dielectric layer 502 and the first load layer 503 are formed between the cavity and the piezoelectric layer 501, and the first electrode layer 504, the first dielectric layer 502 and the first load layer 503 are formed in the cavity.

[0228] Referring to FIG. 34 , an intermediate layer 506 is formed on the first side 5011 . The intermediate layer 506 covers the sacrificial layer 505 and the piezoelectric layer 501 .

[0229] Referring to FIG. 35 , a first sub-bonding layer 507 is formed and located on the first side 5011 . The first sub-bonding layer 507 covers the intermediate layer 506 .

[0230] In this embodiment, the material of the first sub-bonding layer 507 is the same as that of the intermediate layer 506. In other embodiments, the material of the first sub-bonding layer 507 may be different from that of the intermediate layer 506. Referring to FIG36 , a device substrate 508 is provided.

[0232] In this embodiment, the material of the second sub-bonding layer 509 is the same as that of the first sub-bonding layer 507. In other embodiments, the material of the second sub-bonding layer 509 may be different from that of the first sub-bonding layer 507.

[0233] Please refer to FIG. 38 , the first sub-bonding layer 507 and the second sub-bonding layer 509 are bonded.

[0234] In this embodiment, after the first sub-bonding layer 507 and the second sub-bonding layer 509 are bonded, the device substrate 508 and the second sub-bonding layer 509 are located on the first side 5011 .

[0235] Please refer to FIG. 39 , after bonding the first sub-bonding layer 507 and the second sub-bonding layer 509 , the sacrificial substrate 500 is removed.

[0236] Since the sacrificial substrate 500 only provides temporary support for forming the piezoelectric layer 501 , the first electrode layer 504 , the sacrificial layer 505 and the intermediate layer 506 and is not a final retained structure, it can be removed after bonding.

[0237] 40 , after the sacrificial substrate 500 is removed, a second electrode layer 510 is formed on the second side 5012 . The second electrode layer 510 includes a second resonant portion 510 a .

[0238] In this embodiment, the second electrode layer 510 is located on the second side 5012 and contacts the piezoelectric layer 501 , that is, the second electrode layer 510 is the upper electrode layer of the BAW resonator.

[0239] In this embodiment, the second electrode layer 510 further includes a fourth non-resonant portion 510b. The fourth non-resonant portion 510b is located outside the second resonant portion 510a and surrounds the second resonant portion 510a. The fourth non-resonant portion 510b corresponds to the first attenuation portion 504b and the first limiting portion 504c.

[0240] In this embodiment, the second electrode layer 510 corresponds to the first electrode layer 504 , and the second resonant portion 510 a corresponds to the first resonant portion 504 a .

[0241] In this embodiment, the method further includes forming a resonance region 511 , wherein the resonance region 511 includes the first resonance portion 504 a , the second resonance portion 510 a , and the piezoelectric layer 501 formed between the first resonance portion 504 a and the second resonance portion 510 a .

[0242] In this embodiment, the present invention further includes: a first attenuation zone 512 formed outside the resonance zone 511, suitable for attenuating sound waves, the first attenuation zone 512 surrounds the resonance zone 511, and the first attenuation zone 512 includes a first attenuation portion 504b, the first dielectric portion 502a, and the fourth non-resonant portion 510b corresponding to the first attenuation portion 504b; a first restriction zone 513 formed outside the first attenuation zone 512, suitable for reflecting sound waves, the first restriction zone 513 surrounds the first attenuation zone 512, and the first restriction zone 513 includes a first restriction portion 504c, the second dielectric portion 502b, the first load layer 503, and the fourth non-resonant portion 510b corresponding to the first restriction portion 504c.

[0243] It should be noted that the thickness range of the first dielectric layer 502 includes: 0.1t to 2t, where t represents the thickness of the first electrode layer 504; the width range of the first dielectric portion 502a includes: 0.2s to 6s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonance zone 511 (for example, the sum of the thicknesses of the first resonance portion 504a, the second resonance portion 510a and the piezoelectric layer 501).

[0244] It should be noted that the thickness range of the first load layer 503 includes: 0.1t to 3t, where t represents the thickness of the first electrode layer 504; the width range of the first load layer 503 includes: 0.2s to 6s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonance zone 511.

[0245] In this embodiment, the material density of the first load layer 503 is greater than or equal to the material density of the first electrode layer 504, which is used to increase the overall mass of the first restriction area 513, thereby increasing the difference between the acoustic impedance of the first restriction area 513 and the acoustic impedance of the resonance area, thereby forming an acoustic impedance mismatch.

[0246] It should be noted that the spacing between the outer edge of the first electrode layer 504 and the outer edge of the first load layer 503 ranges from -2s to 2s, where s represents the thickness of the stacked structure of the resonant region 511. A negative spacing value indicates that the outer edge of the first electrode layer 504 is located inside the outer edge of the first load layer 503 (i.e., the first load layer 503 is not covered by the first electrode layer 504); a positive spacing value indicates that the outer edge of the first electrode layer 504 is located outside the outer edge of the first load layer 503 (i.e., the first load layer 503 is covered by the first electrode layer 504). In this embodiment, the spacing between the outer edges of the first electrode layer 504 and the outer edges of the first load layer 503 is 0 (i.e., flush).

[0247] The first dielectric layer 502 is located between the first attenuation portion 504b, the first limiting portion 504c and the piezoelectric layer 501. Therefore, the first attenuation area 512 and the first limiting area 513 corresponding to the first dielectric layer 502 do not undergo acoustic-to-electrical conversion, and thus do not excite additional parasitic resonances. Since the cutoff frequency of the first attenuation zone 512 matches (for example, is equal to or less than) the cutoff frequency of the resonance zone 511, and the acoustic impedance of the first restriction zone 513 is mismatched with the acoustic impedance of the first attenuation zone 512, that is, the impedance difference is large, the main transverse mode can first pass through the first attenuation zone 512 without being affected, and then be fully reflected back to the resonance zone in the first restriction zone 513, thereby greatly reducing the transverse leakage wave; however, the high-order transverse parasitic modes entering the first attenuation zone 512 will experience attenuation. By reasonably setting the width of the first attenuation zone 512, the high-order transverse parasitic modes can be fully attenuated in the first attenuation zone 512, and only a small amount or even no high-order transverse parasitic modes enter the first restriction zone 513, thereby preventing the high-order transverse parasitic modes from being reflected back to the resonance zone 511 and coupling with the main transverse mode, thereby improving the parallel impedance value and the corresponding Q value.

[0249] In this embodiment, the cavity 514 is formed on the first side 5011 , and the first electrode layer 504 , the first dielectric layer 502 , and the first load layer 503 are formed in the cavity 514 .

[0250] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the sound reflection layer includes the cavity 514 .

In this embodiment, the distance between the outer edge of the first electrode layer 504 and the outer edge of the first load layer 503 is a positive value.

[0259] This embodiment further illustrates the method for forming a bulk acoustic wave resonator device based on the above embodiment ( FIG. 40 ). The remaining aspects are the same as those of the above embodiment, with the exception that the second electrode layer 510 further includes a third attenuation portion and a second limiting portion. This will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0260] 43 , a second dielectric layer 600 is formed and located on the second side 5012 . The second dielectric layer 600 includes a fourth dielectric portion 600 a and a fifth dielectric portion 600 b , forming a second load layer 601 and located on the second side 5012 .

[0261] In this embodiment, the formation process and materials of the second dielectric layer 600 and the second load layer 601 can be specifically referred to the relevant descriptions of the first dielectric layer 502 and the first load layer 503 in Figures 30 and 31, and will not be repeated here.
