Description
本发明的实施例涉及半导体领域,尤其涉及一种体声波谐振器及其制造方法、一种具有该谐振器的滤波器以及一种电子设备。Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of semiconductors, and in particular, to a bulk acoustic wave resonator and a method for manufacturing the same, a filter having the resonator, and an electronic device.
电子器件作为电子设备的基本元素,已经被广泛应用,其应用范围包括移动电话、汽车、家电设备等。此外,未来即将改变世界的人工智能、物联网、5G通讯等技术仍然需要依靠电子器件作为基础。As the basic elements of electronic equipment, electronic devices have been widely used, and their applications include mobile phones, automobiles, home appliances and so on. In addition, technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and 5G communications that will change the world in the future still need to rely on electronic devices as their foundation.
薄膜体声波谐振器(Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator,简称FBAR,又称为体声波谐振器,也称BAW)作为压电器件的重要成员正在通信领域发挥着重要作用,特别是FBAR滤波器在射频滤波器领域市场占有份额越来越大,FBAR具有尺寸小、谐振频率高、品质因数高、功率容量大、滚降效应好等优良特性,其滤波器正在逐步取代传统的声表面波(SAW)滤波器和陶瓷滤波器,在无线通信射频领域发挥巨大作用,其高灵敏度的优势也能应用到生物、物理、医学等传感领域。Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR, also known as Bulk Acoustic Resonator, also known as BAW) as an important member of piezoelectric devices is playing an important role in the field of communication, especially FBAR filter in radio frequency filter The market share in the field is increasing. FBAR has excellent characteristics such as small size, high resonant frequency, high quality factor, large power capacity, and good roll-off effect. Its filters are gradually replacing traditional surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters And ceramic filters, play a huge role in the field of wireless communication radio frequency, its high sensitivity advantage can also be applied to biological, physical, medical and other sensing fields.
薄膜体声波谐振器的结构主体为由电极-压电薄膜-电极组成的“三明治”结构,即两层金属电极层之间夹一层压电材料。通过在两电极间输入正弦信号,FBAR利用逆压电效应将输入电信号转换为机械谐振,并且再利用压电效应将机械谐振转换为电信号输出。The structural main body of the thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator is a "sandwich" structure composed of an electrode-piezoelectric film-electrode, that is, a piezoelectric material is sandwiched between two metal electrode layers. By inputting a sinusoidal signal between two electrodes, the FBAR uses the inverse piezoelectric effect to convert the input electrical signal into mechanical resonance, and then uses the piezoelectric effect to convert the mechanical resonance into an electrical signal output.
薄膜体声波谐振器主要利用压电薄膜的纵向压电系数产生压电效应,所以其主要工作模式为厚度方向上的纵波模式,即体声波谐振器的声波主要在谐振器的薄膜体内,而且主要的振动方向在纵向。但是由于存在边界,在边界处会存在不垂直于压电膜层的兰姆波,这时横向的兰姆波会从压电膜层的横向漏出,导致声学损失,从而使得谐振器的Q值减小。The film bulk acoustic wave resonator mainly uses the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient of the piezoelectric film to generate the piezoelectric effect, so its main working mode is the longitudinal wave mode in the thickness direction, that is, the sound wave of the bulk acoustic wave resonator is mainly in the film body of the resonator, and the main working mode is the longitudinal wave mode in the thickness direction. The vibration direction is in the longitudinal direction. However, due to the existence of a boundary, there will be Lamb waves that are not perpendicular to the piezoelectric film layer at the boundary. At this time, the lateral Lamb wave will leak out from the lateral direction of the piezoelectric film layer, resulting in acoustic loss, thus making the Q value of the resonator. decrease.
为了防止或减少横向的兰姆波泄露,已有的技术在谐振器的有效区域的边缘设置凸起结构、凹陷结构以及桥翼结构中的至少一种,如图1所示。但是,在通过在谐振器的有效区域的边缘设置凸起结构或凹陷结构来提升谐振器的Q值时,由于制备工艺的限制,难以在压电层下侧制备凹陷结构或凸起结构,同时保持谐振器的有效区域内的压电层的平整。In order to prevent or reduce lateral Lamb wave leakage, in the prior art, at least one of a convex structure, a concave structure and a bridge wing structure is arranged at the edge of the effective area of the resonator, as shown in FIG. 1 . However, when the Q value of the resonator is improved by arranging a convex structure or a concave structure at the edge of the effective area of the resonator, it is difficult to prepare a concave structure or a convex structure on the lower side of the piezoelectric layer due to the limitation of the manufacturing process. Keep the piezoelectric layer flat within the active area of the resonator.

在向设置有凹陷或凸起的表面沉积粒子的过程中,在沉积粒子被该表 面捕获后,更容易在侧壁、凹陷底部等低势能点附着,更难在凸起表面附着,因此凹陷内部沉积速率更快,凸起表面沉积速率更慢。所以,在沉积一定厚度后,在沉积层的上表面的对应的凹陷/凸起的深度/高度会减小;继续沉积一定厚度后,沉积层的上表面的对应凹陷和凸起会消失,最终可以在沉积层的上表面形成一个近乎纯平的表面。本发明基于以上发现而提出。In the process of depositing particles on a surface provided with depressions or protrusions, after the deposited particles are captured by the surface, it is easier to attach to low-potential energy points such as the sidewalls and the bottom of depressions, and it is more difficult to attach to the surface of the depressions, so the inside of the depressions The deposition rate is faster and the raised surface deposition rate is slower. Therefore, after a certain thickness is deposited, the depth/height of the corresponding depressions/protrusions on the upper surface of the deposition layer will decrease; after continuing to deposit a certain thickness, the corresponding depressions and protrusions on the upper surface of the deposition layer will disappear, and finally A nearly flat surface can be formed on the top surface of the deposited layer. The present invention has been made based on the above findings.
