Definitions
- the present invention relates to a thin-film acoustic resonator utilizing the electro-acoustic effect of a piezoelectric thin film, and more particularly, to a thin-film acoustic resonator that can be used as a component of a filter for a communication device, and its manufacture. About the method.
- the present invention utilizes a piezoelectric thin film used in a wide range of fields, such as a thin film oscillator used for a mobile communication device, a thin film VCO (voltage controlled oscillator), a thin film filter, a transmission / reception switch, and various sensors.
- a thin film oscillator used for a mobile communication device
- a thin film VCO voltage controlled oscillator
- SAW surface acoustic wave
- a thin film acoustic resonator utilizing the thickness vibration of a piezoelectric thin film that is, a thin film bulk acoustic resonator or a thin film bulk acoustic resonator (Thin Film Bu).
- FBARs Thin Film Bu
- These are mainly made of piezoelectric material on a thin support film provided on a substrate. It is formed of a thin film composed of a body and electrodes for driving the thin film, and is capable of fundamental resonance in the gigahertz band. If a filter is composed of F BAR, it can be remarkably reduced in size, low loss, wide band operation is possible, and it can be integrated with a semiconductor integrated circuit. It has been done.
- a thin film acoustic resonator is a sandwich structure in which a layer of piezoelectric (PZ) thin film material is sandwiched between two metal electrodes. This sandwiching structure is supported by a bridge structure whose peripheral part is supported and whose central part is suspended in the air.
- PZ piezoelectric
- the piezoelectric (PZ) thin film material converts some of the electrical energy into mechanical energy in the form of sound waves. Sound waves propagate in the same direction as the electric field and reflect off the electrode / air interface.
- the piezoelectric body may be abbreviated as PZ.
- the thin-film acoustic resonator When mechanically resonating, the thin-film acoustic resonator acts as an electrical resonator due to the electrical energy of the Pz thin-film material and the Z-mechanical energy conversion function. Therefore, a filter can be configured using this.
- the mechanical resonance of a thin-film acoustic resonator occurs at a frequency where the thickness of the material through which the sound propagates is equal to half the wavelength of the sound.
- the frequency of the sound wave is equal to the frequency of the electrical signal applied to the electrode. Since the speed of sound waves is 5 to 6 orders of magnitude lower than the speed of light, the resulting resonator can be extremely compact. For this reason, resonators for GHz band applications can be constructed with structures with a planar dimension of less than 200 microns and a thickness of less than a few microns.
- the laminated thin film acoustic resonator in which the above-described thin film acoustic resonator and the sandwiching structure are laminated that is, the laminated thin film bulk acoustic resonator and the filter
- the center of the sandwiched structure is made by sputtering. It is a piezoelectric thin film with a thickness of about 1-2 microns.
- the upper and lower electrodes act as electrical leads, sandwiching the piezoelectric film and providing an electric field through the piezoelectric film.
- the piezoelectric thin film converts part of the electric field energy into mechanical energy.
- a time-varying "strain" energy is formed in response to the time-varying applied electric field energy.
- a piezoelectric thin film element applied to a resonator using such an elastic wave, a filter, or the like is manufactured as follows. Dielectric thin films are formed by various thin film forming methods on the surface of a semiconductor single crystal substrate such as silicon, or a substrate formed by forming a film of a constant elastic metal such as polycrystalline diamond or elinvar on a silicon wafer. Then, a base film made of a conductor thin film or a laminated film of these is formed. A piezoelectric thin film is formed on the base film, and an upper structure is formed as necessary. After forming each film or after forming all the films, a fine processing / patterning is performed by subjecting each film to a physical treatment or a chemical treatment.
- the sandwiching structure including the piezoelectric thin film must be supported by a bridge structure to form an air / crystal interface for trapping sound waves within the sandwiching structure.
- the sandwich structure is usually formed by depositing a lower electrode (lower electrode), a piezoelectric layer (piezoelectric film, piezoelectric thin film layer), and an upper electrode (upper electrode) on the substrate surface in this order. Therefore, the air / crystal interface already exists above the sandwich structure. An air crystal interface must also be provided below the sandwich structure. In order to obtain an air crystal boundary below the sandwich structure, several methods have been conventionally used as described below.
- the first method is described in, for example, JP-A-58-154324 and JP-A-60-142607, which discloses a method of forming a substrate. If the substrate is made of silicon using etching removal, a part of the silicon substrate is etched away from the back side using a heated KOH aqueous solution to form holes. After the base film, lower electrode, piezoelectric thin film and upper electrode are formed on the upper surface of the substrate, it is located below the portion that will be the vibrating part from the lower surface of the substrate The substrate part is removed. As a result, a resonator having a configuration in which the edge of the sandwiching structure is supported on the front side of the silicon substrate at the portion around the hole is obtained.
- a sandwich structure having a lateral dimension (planar dimension) of about 150 ⁇ 150 ⁇ formed on a silicon wafer having a thickness of 250 / zm has a backside etching hole of about 450 ⁇ 450 ⁇ m. Requires an opening. Therefore, only about 1/9 of the wafer can be used for production.
- a second conventional method of providing an air / crystal boundary surface below the sandwiching structure is to make an air-bridge type FBAR element as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-131109.
- a sacrificial layer (Sacrificia1laayer) is provided, and then a sandwich structure is formed on the sacrificial layer. Remove the sacrificial layer at or near the end of the process. Since all processing is performed on the front side of the wafer, this method does not require alignment on both sides of the wafer or a large area backside opening.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-69594 describes a configuration and a manufacturing method of an air-bridge type FB ARZS BAR using phosphoric silica glass (PSG) as a sacrificial layer.
- PSG phosphoric silica glass
- a PSG layer is deposited on a silicon wafer.
- PSG ' is deposited using silane and P 2 OB at temperatures up to about 450 ° C. to form a soft glass-like material with a phosphorus content of about 8%.
- PSG may be deposited at relatively low temperatures, and, diluted H 2 0: it is etched at very high speeds in the HF solution.
- the publication states that the RMS (root mean square) variation of the height indicating the surface roughness of the PSG sacrificial layer is less than 0.5 jam.
- RMS fluctuation of the order of less than 0.1 ⁇ This RMS variation on the order of 0.1 ⁇ is very rough as seen from the atomic level.
- FBAR / SBAR thin-film acoustic resonators require a piezoelectric material in which the crystals grow as columnar crystals perpendicular to the electrode plane.
- a conductive sheet parallel to the surface of the PSG layer is formed, and the RMS variation of the height of the conductive sheet is less than 2 m.
- a method of providing an appropriate solid acoustic mirror instead of providing an air crystal boundary as described above, there is a method of providing an appropriate solid acoustic mirror.
- a large acoustic impedance consisting of an acoustic Bragg reflector is created below the sandwiching structure.
- Bragg reflectors are made by alternating layers of high and low acoustic impedance materials. The thickness of each layer is fixed to 1/4 of the wavelength of the resonance frequency. With a sufficient number of layers, the effective impedance at the interface of the piezoelectric Z-electrode can be much higher than the acoustic impedance of the element, thus effectively confining sound waves within the piezoelectric.
- the acoustic resonator obtained by this method is called a solid-state acoustic mirror-mounted resonator (SMR) because there is no air gap below the sandwiched structure.
- SMR solid-state acoustic mirror-mounted resonator
- this method avoids the problems of the first and second methods described above in which a film is formed in which the peripheral portion is fixed and the central portion can freely vibrate, this method also has many problems. is there. That is, since the metal layer forms a parasitic capacitor that degrades the electric performance of the filter and cannot be used for the Bragg reflector layer, there is a limit in selecting the material used for the Bragg reflector. The difference in acoustic impedance of layers made from available materials is not significant. Therefore, many layers are needed to confine sound waves. This method is applied to each layer. The production process is complicated because the force must be precisely controlled.
- acoustic resonators obtained by this method are inconvenient for integration with other active elements. Furthermore, in the examples reported so far, the acoustic resonator obtained by this method has a much lower effective coupling coefficient than the acoustic resonator with air bridge. As a result, filters based on SMR have a narrower effective bandwidth than those using air-bridge acoustic resonators.
- a time-varying “stress / strain” energy is formed in the sandwich structure in response to the time-varying applied electric field energy. Therefore, when the adhesion between the substrate and the lower electrode of the sandwiching structure is low, the substrate and the sandwiching structure are separated from each other and the durability is reduced, that is, the life of the thin film acoustic resonator is shortened.
- Mo is described as a suitable electrode material, but it relates to further improvement of adhesion to silicon substrate or the like as a substrate. There is no special description.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-309708 discloses that a lower electrode layer composed of two layers such as Au / Ti is used.
- the Ti layer exists as a layer for improving the adhesion between the Au layer and the substrate. That is, this Ti adhesion layer is not an essential electrode layer from the viewpoint of the original operation of the thin film acoustic resonator, but when the Au electrode layer is formed alone without forming the Ti adhesion layer, In this case, the adhesion between the substrate and the Au electrode layer becomes poor, and the durability of the thin-film acoustic resonator during operation is significantly impaired due to the occurrence of peeling or the like.
- Another object of the present invention is to improve the crystal quality of the piezoelectric (PZ) thin film, thereby improving the electromechanical coupling coefficient, the acoustic quality coefficient value, and the temperature characteristics.
- 'It is to provide high performance FBAR / SBAR.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a high-performance FBA RZS BAR having excellent electromechanical coupling coefficient, sound quality coefficient (Q value), temperature characteristics, etc. by devising the shape of the upper electrode. .
- a further object of the present invention is to improve the adhesion between the lower electrode layer and the substrate and to form a piezoelectric thin film having good crystal quality and orientation on the lower electrode layer. It is to provide a high-performance FBARZSBAR with excellent electromechanical coupling coefficient and acoustic quality coefficient (Q value).
- A1N has a high elastic wave propagation speed and is suitable as a piezoelectric material for a piezoelectric thin film resonator of a thin film acoustic resonator / filter operating in a high frequency band.
- the piezoelectric thin film resonator which is excellent in the temperature stability of the resonance frequency and the acoustic quality coefficient of the vibrating part including the electrode layer and the base film, that is, the thin film acoustic Realization of a resonator is strongly desired.
- the present invention takes advantage of the feature of the A1N thin film that the propagation speed of the elastic wave is high, and does not impair the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the acoustic quality coefficient.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric thin-film resonator, that is, a thin-film acoustic resonator, in which the temperature stability of the resonance frequency is improved. Disclosure of the invention
