AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices face challenges in achieving high quality factor (Q) and suppressing spurious modes while meeting performance specifications.
Method used
The BAW device incorporates an engineered region with a piezoelectric layer having a lower effective piezoelectric coefficient and a seed layer or raised frame layer, which suppresses frame modes and maintains electromechanical coupling, thereby increasing Q and reducing energy losses.
Benefits of technology
The engineered region enhances BAW device performance by suppressing frame modes and increasing quality factor (Q), leading to improved energy efficiency and reduced insertion losses.

Abstract
Aspects of this disclosure relate to a bulk acoustic wave that includes a piezoelectric having a lower magnitude effective piezoelectric coefficient in the engineered region than in a main acoustically active region. The bulk acoustic wave device includes a seed layer positioned between an electrode and the piezoelectric layer in the engineered region. A resonance associated with the engineered region can be at a lower frequency than a resonant frequency of the main acoustically active region. Related bulk acoustic wave dies, filters, multiplexers, radio frequency modules, radio frequency systems, wireless communication devices, and methods are disclosed.
