Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a bulk acoustic wave resonance device, a filtering device and a radio frequency front-end device.
Background
A Radio Frequency (RF) front-end chip of a wireless communication device includes a power amplifier, an antenna switch, a Radio Frequency filter, a multiplexer, a low noise amplifier, and the like. The rf filter includes a piezoelectric Acoustic Surface Wave (SAW) filter, a Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) filter, a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) filter, an Integrated Passive Devices (IPD) filter, and the like.
The BAW resonator has a high quality factor value (Q value), and is made into a low insertion loss and high out-of-band rejection radio frequency filter, i.e., a BAW filter, which is a mainstream radio frequency filter used in wireless communication devices such as mobile phones and base stations at present. Where the Q value is the quality factor value of the resonator, defined as the center frequency divided by the 3dB bandwidth of the resonator. The higher the Q value, the better the performance of the resonator and the better the performance of the manufactured filter. BAW resonators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy or electrical energy into mechanical energy during vibration, which represents the degree of mutual energy conversion using an electro-mechanical coupling factor (i.e., electro-mechanical coupling factor))。
Wherein f issIs the resonant frequency, fpFor anti-resonant frequency, when the resonator isThe larger the bandwidth of the filter the resonator can make. The BAW filter is typically used at a frequency of 0.7GHz to 7 GHz.
As wireless communication technology evolves, more and more frequency bands are used, and meanwhile, with the application of frequency band overlapping use technology such as carrier aggregation, mutual interference among wireless frequency bands becomes more and more serious. The high-performance BAW technology can solve the problem of mutual interference between frequency bands. With the coming of the 5G era, a wireless mobile network introduces a higher communication frequency band and a wider frequency band, and currently, only the BAW technology can solve the problem of filtering in a high frequency band and a high bandwidth.
The BAW filter consists of a BAW resonator, wherein the BAW resonator converts an electric signal into an acoustic signal through a metal-piezoelectric film-metal transducer, and then converts the acoustic signal back into the electric signal through the metal-piezoelectric film-metal transducer. BAW filters filter signals in the acoustic signal interval, and since the acoustic signal velocity is about one hundred thousand times the electrical signal velocity at the same frequency, the BAW filter of the same frequency is much smaller in size than the electrical rf filter. Since the metal-piezoelectric thin film-metal transducer is the most important component of the BAW resonator, whether the acoustic structure of the BAW resonator can effectively limit the energy leakage of the leakage wave directly determines the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the Q value of the BAW resonator. The 5G mobile communication technology puts higher requirements on the passband bandwidth, the insertion loss and the out-of-band rejection of the BAW filter, and the three indexes are related to the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the Q value of the BAW resonator, so the acoustic structure of the BAW resonator needs to be further optimized and improved.
Fig. 1 shows a BAW filter circuit 100 comprising a ladder circuit consisting of a plurality of BAW resonators, wherein f1, f2, f3, f4 represent 4 different frequencies, respectively. In each BAW resonator, metal electrodes on both sides of a piezoelectric layer of the resonator generate alternating positive and negative voltages, and the piezoelectric layer generates an acoustic wave by the alternating positive and negative voltages, and the acoustic wave in the resonator propagates in a direction perpendicular to the piezoelectric layer. In order to form resonance, the acoustic wave needs to generate total reflection on the upper surface of the upper metal electrode and the lower surface of the lower metal electrode to form a standing acoustic wave. The condition for the reflection of the acoustic wave is that the acoustic impedance of the contact area with the upper surface of the upper metal electrode and the lower surface of the lower metal electrode is greatly different from the acoustic impedance of the metal electrode.
A Film Bulk Acoustic wave Resonator (FBAR) is a BAW Resonator that confines Acoustic energy within the device, with air or vacuum above the resonant region and a cavity below. The acoustic impedance of air and vacuum is greatly different from that of the metal electrode, and the sound wave can be totally reflected on the upper surface of the upper metal electrode and the lower surface of the lower metal electrode to form standing waves.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic structure of a cross section a of an FBAR 200. The FBAR 200 includes: a substrate 201, the upper surface side of the substrate 201 comprising a cavity 203; an electrode layer 205 on the substrate 201 and the cavity 203; a piezoelectric layer 207 on the substrate 201 and covering the electrode layer 205, wherein the piezoelectric layer 207 comprises a convex portion 207a and is positioned above the electrode layer 205; an electrode layer 209 located on the piezoelectric layer 207, the electrode layer 209 comprising a protrusion 209a located on the protrusion 207 a; wherein a resonance region 211 (i.e. the coinciding area of the electrode layer 205 and the protrusion 209 a) is located on the cavity 203, having a coinciding contact with the substrate 201. If the acoustic impedance of the substrate 201 is similar to that of the piezoelectric layer 207, the transverse acoustic wave generated by the resonant region 211 will diffuse toward the non-resonant region in the direction of the arrow, and propagate into the substrate 201, thereby decreasing the Q value of the resonator.
