Abstract

The present invention provides a piezoelectric layer structure, a bulk acoustic wave resonator, a bulk acoustic wave filter, and a manufacturing method. In a piezoelectric layer, adjacent first and second thin-film layers have opposite polarities, breaking the conventional inverse constraint relationship between the resonance frequency of a bulk acoustic wave resonator and the thickness of a piezoelectric layer, so that a high-order resonant mode of the resonator is excited while maintaining a relatively thick piezoelectric layer, thereby significantly increasing the resonance frequency of the bulk acoustic wave resonator. There is no need to insert an electrode material layer between the first thin-film layer and the second thin-film layer, so that the manufacturing method is simple, and the device performance is high. In addition, the piezoelectric layer is divided into two regions, a first region in which adjacent piezoelectric thin-film layers have the same polarity, and a second region in which adjacent piezoelectric thin-film layers have opposite polarities, so that the bulk acoustic wave filter has two frequencies, enabling application requirements of different frequency bands to be met.

Description

Piezoelectric layer structure, bulk acoustic wave resonator, bulk acoustic wave filter and manufacturing method TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of microelectronics technology, and relates to a piezoelectric layer structure, a bulk acoustic wave resonator, a bulk acoustic wave filter and a manufacturing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, radio frequency filters need to have a working frequency of 5GHz or higher for wireless data transmission, and the filters applied in 5G communication are mainly bulk acoustic wave filters (BAW) and surface acoustic wave filters (SAW). BAW devices have an extremely high Q value (4000 or more), a working frequency band of 100MHz-20GHz, and advantages such as high working frequency, low insertion loss, high frequency selection characteristics, high power capacity and strong anti-static ability, and are the best solution for future radio frequency front ends.

[0003] With the increasing application requirements, microwave acoustics not only needs to expand the working frequency range to Ku, Ka bands and even mm-wave (mm-Wave) bands, but also needs to meet the application requirements of ultra-wideband. In a traditional single-layer piezoelectric thin film resonator, the resonant frequency of the bulk acoustic wave resonator is positively correlated with the ratio of the longitudinal acoustic velocity and the film thickness, which means that the thickness of the piezoelectric thin film of the filter applied in higher frequency bands such as 5G will be smaller. For example, the piezoelectric thin film thickness corresponding to a working frequency of more than 10GHz is less than 100nm, the quality of the piezoelectric thin film crystal will be seriously deteriorated, and at the same time, the power handling capacity, the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the Q value of the resonator will sharply decrease.

[0004] In addition, the working frequency of the existing bulk acoustic wave filter is single, and can only meet the application requirements of a certain frequency band, which has great limitations.

[0183] Example 1

[0184] The embodiment provides a bulk acoustic wave resonator structure. Referring to FIG. 1, the bulk acoustic wave resonator structure comprises a substrate 1, a bottom electrode 2, a piezoelectric layer 3 and a top electrode 5, the bottom electrode 2 is located above the substrate 1; the piezoelectric layer 3 is located above the bottom electrode 2, the piezoelectric layer 3 comprises first ferroelectric film layers 3A and second ferroelectric film layers 3B which are alternately stacked from bottom to top, wherein adjacent first ferroelectric film layers 3A and second ferroelectric film layers 3B are in direct contact at an interface, and the polarization directions 4 of adjacent first ferroelectric film layers 3A and second ferroelectric film layers 3B are opposite to each other, so as to excite N-order mode resonance, N is an integer not less than the total number of layers of the first ferroelectric film layers 3A and the second ferroelectric film layers 3B; the top electrode 5 is located above the piezoelectric layer 3.

[0185] As an example, the substrate 1 comprises a Si substrate, a SiC substrate, a Ge substrate, a sapphire substrate or a diamond substrate, the substrate 1 is provided with a groove opening upward, the bottom electrode 2 and the groove jointly form a cavity 6 as an acoustic wave reflection structure. In other examples, a Bragg reflection layer is arranged between the substrate 1 and the bottom electrode 2 as an acoustic wave reflection structure, the Bragg reflection layer comprises stacked high acoustic impedance material layers and low acoustic impedance material layers, the material of the high acoustic impedance material layers comprises one or more of W, Mo, Pt, Au, Ni and Ir, the material of the low acoustic impedance material layers comprises one or more of AlN, Si3N4 and SiO2, and the thickness of each layer in the Bragg reflection layer is 1 / 4 or 3 / 4 of the wavelength of the acoustic wave corresponding to the resonator resonance frequency.

[0186] As an example, the first ferroelectric film layers 3A and the second ferroelectric film layers 3B refer to film layers which simultaneously have piezoelectric properties and ferroelectric properties.

[0187] As an example, the material of the first ferroelectric film layers comprises Al 1-x Sc x N (0.2≤x≤0.5), BST, PZT and PbTiO3, and the thickness of a single first ferroelectric film layer 3A is not less than 0.01 μm; the material of the second ferroelectric film layers comprises Al 1-x Sc x N (0.2≤x≤0.5), BST, PZT and PbTiO3, and the thickness of a single second ferroelectric film layer 3B is not less than 0.01 μm; and the total thickness of the piezoelectric layer 3 is not more than 2 μm. In the embodiment, the first ferroelectric film layers 3A are Al 1-x Sc x N layers, and the second ferroelectric film layers 3B are Al 1-x Sc x N layers.

[0188] As an example, the material of the bottom electrode 2 includes one or more of Au, Ag, Ru, W, Mo, Ir, Al, Pt, Nb, Hf, and the thickness of the bottom electrode 2 is not more than 0.3 μm; the material of the top electrode 5 includes one or more of Au, Ag, Ru, W, Mo, Ir, Al, Pt, Nb, Hf, and the thickness of the top electrode 5 is not more than 0.3 μm. In the embodiment, the bottom electrode 2 adopts a Mo metal layer, and the top electrode 5 adopts a Mo metal layer.

[0189] Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, the total number of layers of the first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B in the piezoelectric layer 3 is set to 3 layers, and the piezoelectric layer 3 is composed of the first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A / the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B / the first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A stacked together, wherein the first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A adopts an Al 0.7 Sc 0.3 N layer, the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B adopts an Al 0.7 Sc 0.3 N layer, the thickness of the first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A is 50 nm, the thickness of the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B is 100 nm, the polarization directions 4 of the first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B are opposite, and the bottom electrode 2 and the top electrode 5 both adopt a Mo metal layer with a thickness of 100 nm. In addition, referring to FIG. 3, a comparative example is provided, which is different from the embodiment in that the polarization directions 4 of the adjacent first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B are the same, and the embodiment and the comparative example have different resonance modes 7. Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, simulation results of the embodiment and the comparative example are shown respectively. As shown in FIG. 4, when the polarization directions of the adjacent first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B are opposite, there is a phase difference of 180° in the piezoelectric response to the electric signal, the inverse piezoelectric effect causes one of the adjacent first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B to be subjected to a compressive stress, and the other to be subjected to a tensile stress, thereby inhibiting the first-order asymmetric thickness expansion mode and exciting the third-order (TE3) thickness expansion mode with a higher corresponding frequency, and the working frequency band is 28 GHz. As shown in FIG. 5, when the polarization directions of the adjacent first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B are the same, the excited resonance mode is the first-order thickness expansion mode (TE1), and the working frequency band is 7 GHz.

[0190] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the total number of layers of the first ferroelectric film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric film layer 3B is three, and in other examples, more layers of the first ferroelectric film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric film layer 3B can be provided, and the thickness of the first ferroelectric film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric film layer 3B is adjusted until the first-order thickness expansion mode is close to complete suppression, and the order of the excited thickness expansion mode is equal to the total number of layers of the first ferroelectric film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric film layer 3B.

[0191] As an example, in the embodiment, the thicker piezoelectric layer 3 is used to realize the ultra-high frequency of the filter, the crystal quality of the piezoelectric layer 3 is high, the defect density is small, the Q value of the corresponding device is high, the loss is small, the power capacity is higher, and it is more suitable for low-power mobile communication, low-interference demand wireless communication application; and in order to guarantee the manufacturing yield of the resonator, the thickness uniformity of the piezoelectric layer 3 needs to be better than 0.5%, the thicker piezoelectric layer 3 can significantly improve the manufacturing yield and manufacturing stability; in addition, the thickness of the piezoelectric layer 3 does not need to be reduced to realize the frequency increase of the resonator, which is particularly suitable for 5G new high frequency band, high frequency satellite communication, 5G millimeter wave frequency band, 6G ultra-high frequency band.

[0192] As an example, compared with existing low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) filter and integrated passive device (IPD) filter and other medium filters for high frequency and ultra-high frequency, the resonator of the present application has excellent out-of-band suppression, in-band insertion loss and other characteristics, which significantly reduces signal interference and operating power of wireless communication.

[0193] As an example, in the conventional single-layer piezoelectric material bulk acoustic wave resonator, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the excited high-frequency mode is inversely proportional to the order of the high-order mode, so the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the high-order resonator is very small, and the bandwidth of the corresponding filter is small, which is difficult to meet the actual communication application demand. In the present application, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the high-order mode of the device is independent of the order, which can maintain high electromechanical coupling coefficient and large bandwidth at high frequency, and is very suitable for high frequency and large bandwidth application scenarios.

[0194] As an example, in the prior art, when a high-frequency mode is excited by using a piezoelectric thin film layer and a ferroelectric thin film layer with opposite polarities, an electrode material layer needs to be inserted between the piezoelectric thin film layer and the ferroelectric thin film layer, and a very high bias voltage is applied through the electrode material layer to realize polarity reversal control. However, the insertion of the electrode material layer will seriously affect the crystal quality of the piezoelectric thin film layer and the ferroelectric thin film layer, worsen the characteristics such as out-of-band rejection and in-band loss of the device, and greatly challenge the cost, controllability and integration. In the present application, the first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B are in direct contact. The ferroelectricity of the ferroelectric thin film layer causes the phenomenon of spontaneous polarization. The polarization reversal voltage between different ferroelectric thin films is different due to the influence of deposition conditions, material type, doping concentration, etc. By applying an external voltage between the bottom electrode 2 and the top electrode 5, the polarization state of one of the adjacent first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B remains unchanged, and the polarization state of the other layer is reversed, realizing the opposite polarity control of the adjacent first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B. No electrode material layer needs to be inserted between the first ferroelectric thin film layer 3A and the second ferroelectric thin film layer 3B. The device structure is simple, and the device performance is high.

[0195] In another example, by adjusting the thickness of the bottom electrode 2, the piezoelectric layer 3 and the top electrode 5, the 3rd order thickness expansion mode can be suppressed, and the 4th order overtone thickness mode resonance can be excited.

[0196] As described above, in the bulk acoustic wave resonator of the present embodiment, the polarities of the adjacent first ferroelectric thin film layer and the second ferroelectric thin film layer are opposite, breaking the inverse proportionality relationship between the resonant frequency and the thickness of the piezoelectric layer in the traditional bulk acoustic wave resonator. The high-order resonant mode of the resonator is excited under the condition of maintaining a relatively thick piezoelectric layer, and the resonant frequency of the bulk acoustic wave resonator is significantly improved. In addition, no electrode material layer needs to be inserted between the first ferroelectric thin film layer and the second ferroelectric thin film layer. The device structure is simple, and the device performance is high.

[0197] Embodiment Two

[0198] The present embodiment provides a high-frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator structure. Referring to FIG. 6, the high-frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator structure of the present embodiment is different from that of embodiment one in that the piezoelectric layer 3 is composed of piezoelectric thin film layers 300 and ferroelectric thin film layers 301 stacked alternately, and adjacent piezoelectric thin film layers 300 and ferroelectric thin film layers 301 have opposite polarities.

[0199] As an example, the piezoelectric thin film layer 300 refers to a thin film layer with piezoelectric properties, and the ferroelectric thin film layer 301 refers to a thin film layer with both piezoelectric properties and ferroelectric properties.

[0200] As an example, the material of the piezoelectric thin film layer 300 includes AlN, Al x Ga1-x N (0 < x < 1), Al 1-x Sc x N (0 < x < 1), LiNbO3, ZnO, PZT, PbTiO3, Ga2O3, and the thickness of the single piezoelectric thin film layer 300 is not less than 0.01 μm; the material and thickness of the ferroelectric thin film layer 301 are described in Embodiment One and will not be described in detail here.

[0201] For example, the bottom layer of the piezoelectric layer 3 is the piezoelectric thin film layer 300, or the bottom layer of the piezoelectric layer 3 is the ferroelectric thin film layer 301, which is set according to requirements.

[0202] Specifically, referring to FIG. 7, the ferroelectric thin film layer 301 in this embodiment adopts Al 0.7 Sc 0.3 N layer, the piezoelectric thin film layer 300 adopts an AlN layer, and the piezoelectric layer 3 adopts a stacked Al 0.7 Sc 0.3 N layer / AlN layer / Al 0.7 Sc 0.3 N layer, the thickness of the single Al 0.7 Sc 0.3 N layer is 50 nm, the thickness of the single AlN layer is 150 nm, the polarities of the adjacent Al 0.7 Sc 0.3 N layers and AlN layers are opposite (the polarization direction 4 is opposite), and the bottom electrode 2 and the top electrode 5 both adopt a Mo metal layer with a thickness of 100 nm. Referring to FIG. 8, the bottom electrode 2, the piezoelectric layer 3, and the top electrode 5 in the comparative example and the embodiment have the same material and thickness, and the difference lies in that the polarities of the adjacent ferroelectric thin film layer 301 and piezoelectric thin film layer 300 are the same (the polarization direction 4 is the same), and the embodiment and the comparative example have different resonance modes 7. Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, which respectively show the simulation results of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be seen from FIG. 9 that the embodiment excites a third-order (TE3) thickness extension mode corresponding to a higher frequency, the working frequency band is 28 GHz, and the electromechanical coupling coefficient K eff 2 is 17.24%; it can be seen from FIG. 10 that the comparative example excites a first-order thickness extension mode (TE1), the working frequency band is 7 GHz, and the electromechanical coupling coefficient K eff 2 is 14.67%.

[0203] As an example, the piezoelectric thin film layer 300 and the ferroelectric thin film layer 301 are in direct contact in the embodiment, the ferroelectric property of the ferroelectric thin film layer 301 causes the phenomenon of spontaneous polarization inside, the polarization state can be changed by applying an external voltage between the bottom electrode 2 and the top electrode 5, and the polarization state can be maintained after the external voltage is removed, realizing the opposite polarity control of the adjacent piezoelectric thin film layer 300 and the ferroelectric thin film layer 301, without inserting an electrode material layer between the piezoelectric thin film layer 300 and the ferroelectric thin film layer 301, the device structure is simple, and the device performance is high.

[0204] As described above, the piezoelectric thin film layer and the ferroelectric thin film layer adjacent to each other have opposite polarities in the embodiment, the high-order resonant mode of the excitation resonator is excited under the condition of maintaining a relatively thick piezoelectric layer, and the resonant frequency of the bulk acoustic wave resonator is significantly improved. In addition, no electrode material layer needs to be inserted between the piezoelectric thin film layer and the ferroelectric thin film layer, the device structure is simple, and the device performance is high.

[0205] Embodiment three

[0206] The embodiment provides a manufacturing method of a high-frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator. Referring to FIG. 11, the manufacturing method of the high-frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator comprises the following steps:

[0207] S1: providing a first substrate, forming a piezoelectric layer on the first substrate, the piezoelectric layer comprising first thin film layers and second thin film layers stacked alternately, at least one of the first thin film layers and the second thin film layers being a ferroelectric thin film layer;

[0208] S2: forming a first electrode on a side of the piezoelectric layer away from the first substrate, and forming a dielectric layer on the side of the piezoelectric layer away from the first substrate, the dielectric layer covering the first electrode;

[0209] S3: forming an opening in the dielectric layer, the opening exposing part of the first electrode;

[0210] S4: providing a second substrate, bonding the dielectric layer to the second substrate, and removing the first substrate;

[0211] S5: forming a second electrode on a side of the piezoelectric layer away from the second substrate;

[0212] S6: forming a first electrode pad and a second electrode pad on a side of the piezoelectric layer away from the second substrate, the first electrode pad being electrically connected through the piezoelectric layer and the first electrode, and the second electrode pad being electrically connected with the second electrode.

[0213] The manufacturing method of the high-frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator of the embodiment will be described in detail below in combination with specific drawings.

[0214] First, referring to Fig. 12, a step S1 is performed: providing a first substrate 8, and forming a piezoelectric layer on the first substrate 8, the piezoelectric layer comprising first thin film layers 9A and second thin film layers 9B stacked alternately, at least one of the first thin film layers 9A and the second thin film layers 9B being a ferroelectric thin film layer.

[0215] As an example, the material of the first substrate 8 includes, but is not limited to, monocrystalline silicon, silicon carbide, germanium, sapphire, gallium nitride, etc.

[0216] As an example, at least one of the first thin film layers 9A and the second thin film layers 9B being a ferroelectric thin film layer, the piezoelectric thin film layers / ferroelectric thin film layers can be stacked alternately, or the ferroelectric thin film layers / ferroelectric thin film layers can be stacked alternately.

[0217] As an example, the description of the piezoelectric thin film layers and the ferroelectric thin film layers can refer to Embodiment One, which will not be described in detail here.

[0218] As an example, in this embodiment, the piezoelectric layer is composed of piezoelectric thin film layers / ferroelectric thin film layers stacked alternately, the first thin film layers 9A are piezoelectric thin film layers, and the second thin film layers 9B are ferroelectric thin film layers; specifically, in this embodiment, the first thin film layers 9A are monocrystalline AlN layers, and the second thin film layers 9B are Sc 0.3 Al 0.7 N layers.

[0219] As an example, the method for forming the first thin film layers 9A and the second thin film layers 9B includes one or more of physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, or spin coating. Preferably, in this embodiment, MOCVD, MBE, ALD, or PLD is used to form the first thin film layers 9A and the second thin film layers 9B.

[0220] Next, referring to Figs. 13-14, a step S2 is performed: forming a first electrode 10 on the side of the piezoelectric layer away from the first substrate 8, and forming a dielectric layer 11 on the side of the piezoelectric layer away from the first substrate 8, the dielectric layer 11 covering the first electrode 10.

[0221] As an example, as shown in Fig. 13, after forming a first electrode material layer and patterning, the first electrode 10 is obtained.

[0222] As an example, as shown in Fig. 14, the dielectric layer 11 covering the first electrode 10 is formed. Since the dielectric layer 11 is thick and the surface is not flat, referring to Fig. 15, a step of planarizing the surface of the dielectric layer 11 is further included, for example, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) can be used to planarize the surface of the dielectric layer 4.

[0223] As an example, the material of the dielectric layer 11 includes but is not limited to silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, etc., preferably silicon dioxide.

[0224] Next, referring to FIG. 16, step S3 is performed: forming an opening 12 in the dielectric layer 11, the opening 12 exposing part of the first electrode 10.

[0225] As an example, the opening 12 is formed by etching or other suitable method, wherein the opening 12 exposes part of the first electrode 10, and another part of the first electrode 10 is covered by the dielectric layer 11.

[0226] Next, referring to FIGS. 17-18, step S4 is performed: providing a second substrate 13, bonding the dielectric layer 11 to the second substrate 13, and removing the first substrate 8.

[0227] As an example, the material of the second substrate 13 includes but is not limited to single crystal silicon, silicon carbide, germanium, sapphire, or gallium nitride, etc., and the structure formed by the opening 12 is inverted so that the dielectric layer 11 and the second substrate 13 are bonded together.

[0228] As an example, the second substrate 13 and the opening 12 enclose a cavity, which serves as an acoustic mirror structure.

[0229] As an example, the method of removing the first substrate 8 includes but is not limited to one or more of ion implantation stripping, mechanical grinding, polishing, wet etching, dry etching, etc.

[0230] As an example, after the first substrate 8 is removed, the bottom surface of the first thin film layer 9A is exposed, and during the process of removing the first substrate 8, the quality of the bottom surface of the first thin film layer 9A is damaged to some extent. Referring to FIG. 19, the step of thinning the bottom surface of the first thin film layer 9A is further included to remove the first thin film layer 9A with poor quality. The method of thinning the first thin film layer 9A includes etching, polishing, or other suitable methods.

[0231] As an example, referring to FIG. 20, after the bottom surface of the first thin film layer 9A is thinned, the second thin film layer 9B is further formed on the side of the first thin film layer 9A away from the second substrate 13; that is, in this application, the piezoelectric layer is formed in two steps, and the piezoelectric layer can be regarded as being composed of a first piezoelectric layer and a second piezoelectric layer. The first piezoelectric layer is first formed on the first substrate 8, then the first electrode 10, the dielectric layer 11, the opening 12 are formed on the first piezoelectric layer, and then the second substrate 13 is bonded, and the first substrate 8 is removed. Finally, the second piezoelectric layer is formed on the side of the first piezoelectric layer away from the second substrate 13, and thus the piezoelectric layer is completed.

[0232] As an example, in the present embodiment, the piezoelectric layer is composed of a second thin film layer 9B / first thin film layer 9A / second thin film layer 9B of a three-layer structure, wherein the first thin film layer 9A is a single-crystal material layer, and the second thin film layers 9B on both sides of the first thin film layer 9A are deposited based on the first thin film layer 9A as a substrate, so that the piezoelectric layer formed by growth has better overall quality; in other examples, the number of layers of the piezoelectric layer is not limited to three layers, and the number of layers is set according to requirements, without being limited by the present embodiment.

[0233] It should be noted that, in another example, a piezoelectric layer with a required number of layers can also be formed on the first substrate 8, and the first substrate 8 is removed without forming a piezoelectric layer, which also belongs to the protection scope of the present application.

[0234] Next, referring to FIG. 21, step S5 is performed: forming a second electrode 14 on the side of the piezoelectric layer away from the second substrate 13.

[0235] As an example, a second electrode material layer is formed on the side of the piezoelectric layer away from the second substrate 13 and is patterned to obtain the second electrode 14.

[0236] As an example, for the description of the electrode, please refer to Embodiment 1, which will not be described in detail here.

[0237] Next, referring to FIGS. 22-23, step S6 is performed: forming a first electrode pad 16 and a second electrode pad 17 on the side of the piezoelectric layer away from the second substrate 13, the first electrode pad 16 penetrating the piezoelectric layer and electrically connected to the first electrode 10, and the second electrode pad 17 electrically connected to the second electrode 14.

[0238] As an example, as shown in FIG. 22, before forming the first electrode pad 16 and the second electrode pad 17, a contact via hole 15 penetrating the piezoelectric layer is formed in the piezoelectric layer, and the projection of the contact via hole 15 on the second substrate 13 does not overlap with the projection of the opening 12 on the second substrate 13.

[0239] As an example, as shown in FIG. 23, the first electrode pad 16 extends into the contact via hole 15 and is electrically connected to the first electrode 10, and the first electrode pad 16 and the second electrode pad 17 are used for electrode lead-out of the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 14.

[0240] As an example, the contact via 15 is located outside the projection of the opening 12 on the second substrate 13, i.e. the contact via 15 is located outside the periphery of the opening 12, which can avoid introducing acoustic obstacles in the resonance region, prevent the occurrence of spurious waves and energy loss, and avoid the occurrence of spurious waves near the resonance peak.

[0241] As an example, after forming the first electrode pad 16 and the second electrode pad 17, a voltage or voltage pulse is applied between the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 14 to control the polarity direction of the ferroelectric thin film layer, so that the polarities of the adjacent first thin film layer 9A and the second thin film layer 9B are opposite (the polarization directions are opposite).

[0242] It should be noted that in other examples, the first thin film layer 9A and the second thin film layer 9B formed by deposition are layers of materials with opposite polarities, and no external voltage needs to be applied between the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 14 to regulate the polarity of the ferroelectric thin film layer. Although the formation of the piezoelectric layer with opposite polarities by the deposition process has high requirements on the deposition conditions, material types, and doping concentrations, it still falls within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0243] As an example, in the present embodiment, the piezoelectric layer is composed of a three-layer structure, which suppresses the first-order asymmetric thickness extension mode and excites the third-order thickness extension mode, so that the operating frequency of the resonator can reach more than 24 GHz; in another example, the piezoelectric layer is composed of a three-layer structure, and by adjusting the thicknesses of the first electrode 10, the piezoelectric layer, and the second electrode 14, the third-order thickness extension mode can be suppressed and the fourth-order overtone thickness mode can be excited. When the total number of layers of the first thin film layer 9A and the second thin film layer 9B is N layers, and the polarities of adjacent first thin film layers 9A and second thin film layers 9B are opposite, the N-th order thickness extension mode or the N+1-th order overtone thickness mode can be excited, thereby improving the operating frequency band.

[0244] As described above, in the present embodiment, the polarities of the adjacent first thin film layer and the second thin film layer are opposite, which can excite high-order resonance modes of the resonator while maintaining a relatively thick piezoelectric layer, thereby significantly improving the resonance frequency of the bulk acoustic wave resonator; in addition, no electrode material layer needs to be inserted between the first thin film layer and the second thin film layer, and the manufacturing method is simple and the device performance is high.

[0245] Embodiment Four

[0246] The present embodiment provides a manufacturing method of a cavity bulk acoustic wave resonator, which is different from the manufacturing method of the cavity bulk acoustic wave resonator in Embodiment Three in that:

[0247] (1) As shown in Fig. 24, after forming the first electrode 10, a barrier layer 18 covering the first electrode 10 is formed on the piezoelectric layer, and a sacrificial layer 19 is formed on the barrier layer 18, the projection of the sacrificial layer 19 on the piezoelectric layer partially overlaps the projection of the first electrode 10 on the piezoelectric layer;

[0248] (2) As shown in Fig. 25, after forming the sacrificial layer 19, a support layer 20 covering the sacrificial layer 19 is formed on the barrier layer 18, and the support layer 20 and the subsequent second substrate 13 are bonded;

[0249] (3) As shown in Figs. 26-27, after forming the first electrode pad 16 and the second electrode pad 17, the sacrificial layer 19 is removed, and a cavity is formed.

[0250] As an example, the steps of removing the first substrate 8, thinning the exposed first thin film layer 9A, continuing to form the second thin film layer 9B, forming the second electrode 14, and forming the first electrode pad 16 and the second electrode pad 17 can refer to Embodiment Three, which will not be described in detail here.

[0251] As an example, the material of the barrier layer 18 includes SiN, and the barrier layer 18 is used to protect the first electrode 10 and the piezoelectric layer when the sacrificial layer 19 is subsequently released and removed.

[0252] As an example, the material of the sacrificial layer 19 includes Si or SiO2, and the sacrificial layer 19 has a high etching selectivity with the barrier layer 18.

[0253] As an example, the material of the support layer 20 includes Si3N4, SiN, or amorphous AlN, which has a large performance difference with the sacrificial layer 19, so that the support layer 20 will not react when the sacrificial layer 19 is subsequently removed by a release liquid or a release gas.

[0254] As described above, in the present embodiment, the polarities of the adjacent first thin film layer and the second thin film layer are opposite, the high-order resonant mode of the resonator is excited while maintaining a relatively thick piezoelectric layer, and the resonant frequency of the bulk acoustic wave resonator is significantly improved; in addition, there is no need to insert an electrode material layer between the first thin film layer and the second thin film layer, the manufacturing method is simple, and the device performance is high.

[0255] Embodiment Five

[0256] The present embodiment provides a manufacturing method of a Bragg reflection type bulk acoustic wave resonator, which is different from Embodiment Three in that:

[0257] As shown in Fig. 28, after forming the first electrode 10, a Bragg reflection structure covering the first electrode 10 is formed on the piezoelectric layer, the Bragg reflection structure includes a low acoustic impedance layer 21A and a high acoustic impedance layer 21B stacked alternately, and then a dielectric layer 11 is formed on the Bragg reflection structure.

[0258] For example, the low acoustic impedance layer 21A is made of one or more of AlN, Si3N4 and SiO2, and the high acoustic impedance layer 21B is made of one or more of W, Mo, Pt, Au, Ni and Ir, wherein the thickness of each layer in the Bragg reflection structure is 1 / 4 or 3 / 4 of the wavelength of the acoustic wave corresponding to the resonant frequency of the resonator.

[0259] For example, the Bragg reflection structure is provided in multiple layers, and the multiple layers are stacked in turn from bottom to top. In this embodiment, the Bragg reflection structure is stacked three times, i.e., the low acoustic impedance layer 21A and the high acoustic impedance layer 21B are stacked alternately three times. In other examples, the low acoustic impedance layer 21A and the high acoustic impedance layer 21B can be stacked alternately less than three times or more than three times according to requirements, and the embodiment is not limited in this way.

[0260] For example, after the deposition of the low acoustic impedance layer 21A as the bottom layer, the surface of the low acoustic impedance layer 21A is uneven due to the presence of the first electrode 10. The surface of the low acoustic impedance layer 21A is planarized by grinding, polishing or other methods, and then the high acoustic impedance layer 21B is formed.

[0261] For example, the steps of bonding the dielectric layer 11 and the second substrate 13, removing the first substrate 8, thinning the exposed first thin film layer 9A, continuing to form the second thin film layer 9B, forming the second electrode 14, and forming the first electrode pad 16 and the second electrode pad 17 are described in Embodiment Three, and will not be described in detail here. The structure shown in Fig. 29 is obtained.

[0262] For example, the Bragg reflection structure is used to confine the acoustic wave in the piezoelectric layer, avoid the acoustic wave leaking to the second substrate 6, thereby reducing the energy loss and improving the performance of the resonator, which is helpful to achieve high Q value and low insertion loss.

[0263] As described above, in this embodiment, the polarities of the adjacent first thin film layer and the second thin film layer are opposite, which can maintain a relatively thick piezoelectric layer to excite high-order resonant modes of the resonator, thereby significantly improving the resonant frequency of the bulk acoustic wave resonator. In addition, the electrode material layer does not need to be inserted between the first thin film layer and the second thin film layer, the manufacturing method is simple, and the device performance is high.
