- the number of frequency bands in a single chip continues to increase, consumers' demand for miniaturized and multi-functional portable devices is increasing. Miniaturization has become the development trend of chips, which puts forward a higher filter size Requirements.
- a film bulk acoustic resonator (Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator, FBAR for short) has been used to replace the traditional waveguide technology to implement a multi-band filter.
- FBAR mainly uses the piezoelectric effect and inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials to generate bulk acoustic waves, thereby forming resonance in the device, because FBAR has high quality factor, large power capacity, high frequency (up to 2-10GHz or even higher) and A series of inherent advantages, such as good compatibility with standard integrated circuits (ICs), can be widely used in higher frequency RF application systems.

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,一种具有该谐振器的滤波器,以及一种具有该滤波器的电子设备。
随着无线通信技术的快速发展,人们对于能同步处理大量数据的多通带收发器的需求与日俱增。近年来,多通带收发器已被广泛地应用在定位系统和多标准的系统中,这些系统需要同时处理不同频段的信号以提高系统的整体性能。虽然单个芯片中频率带的个数不断增加,但消费者对小型化、多功能的便携式设备的需求越来越高,小型化成为芯片的发展趋势,这就对滤波器的尺寸提出了更高的要求。
为此,现有技术中已经采用薄膜体声波谐振器(Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator,简称FBAR)取代传统的波导技术实现多频带滤波器。
FBAR主要利用压电材料的压电效应与逆压电效应产生体声波,从而在器件内形成谐振,因为FBAR具有品质因数高、功率容量大、频率高(可达2-10GHz甚至更高)以及与标准集成电路(IC)的兼容性好等一系列的固有优势,可广泛应用于频率较高的射频应用系统中。
FBAR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。FBAR主要利用压电薄膜的纵向压电系数(d33)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(Thickness Extensional Mode,简称TE模式)。
理想地,薄膜体声波谐振器仅激发厚度方向(TE)模。但是体声波谐振器在工作状态下,除了会激发在厚度方向的(TE)模式或者活塞模式外,还会产生横向寄生模式的波,如瑞利-拉姆模是与TE模的方向相垂直的机械波。这些横向模式的波会在谐振器的边缘经反射形成反射波并与入射波干涉,从而会在谐振器的有效激励区域内形成驻波。此外,这些横向模式的波会在谐振器的边界处损失掉,从而使得谐振器所需 的纵模的能量损失。横向寄生模式的波最终导致谐振器Q值下降。
通过在谐振器的电极的一边或多边边缘处加工一种包含粗糙度的桥翼或桥部结构,桥翼或桥部结构能够将边缘处的声波反射回谐振器内,同时一部份能量会转化成垂直方向振动的模式,使得谐振器的Q值得以提升。而且由于粗糙结构的表面与其周围压电层区域的表面相比更为粗糙,使得声波在粗糙结构中反射的周长变长,从而提高了声波反射的周期,使得一部分横向模式的声波会在粗糙结构中损失掉,从而降低了寄生模式。
但是粗糙结构的存在,会使得谐振器在Q值提升的同时会带来谐振器机电耦合系数即Kt
2的下降。例如,随着粗糙结构面积的增加,粗糙结构中反射回谐振器中的横向模式声波能量增加,从而导致谐振器中垂直模式的声波能量相对减小,使得谐振器的机电耦合系数下降。
发明内容
为缓解或解决FBAR中设置粗糙结构时导致谐振器机电耦合系数即Kt
2的下降的问题,本发明提出对压电层材料进行稀土元素的掺杂的方案。
根据本发明的实施例的一个方面,提出了一种体声波谐振器,包括:基底;声学镜;底电极,设置在基底上方;顶电极,与所述底电极对置;和压电层,设置在底电极上方以及底电极与顶电极之间,其中:声学镜、底电极、压电层、顶电极在基底的厚度方向重叠的区域为谐振器的有效区域;所述谐振器邻近所述有效区域的边界且在边界之外设置有空气隙;所述空气隙对应的表面中的至少一个表面为粗糙面,该粗糙面的粗糙度大于该粗糙面所在部件的该粗糙面周围部分表面的粗糙度;且所述压电层内掺杂有稀土元素。
当对压电层材料进行稀土元素的掺杂时,由于稀土元素的原子半径比较大,从而引起压电材料中的应力发生变化,进而导致压电材料中的电偶极子发生改变,此时对压电材料施加一电场时,压电材料中就会产生更大的机械响应,从而可以使得谐振器获得更高的机电耦合系数(Kt
2)。

以上对于掺杂的描述可以适用于本发明的所有实施例。
图1A所示的实施例中,为体声波谐振器沿着图1俯视图1B-1B所取的截面图。体声波谐振器包括基底101和声学镜103,此声学镜位于基底的上表面或嵌于基底的内部,在图1A中声学镜为嵌入基底中的空腔所构成,但是任何其它的声学镜结构如布拉格反射器也同样适用。
体声波谐振器还包括底电极105,压电层107和顶电极109。底电极沉积在声学镜的上表面,并覆盖声学镜。所述的底电极包含第一末端部、第二末端部、以及位于第一末端部和第二末端部的中间部分。可以将底电极的第一末端部和第二末端部刻蚀 成斜面,并且该斜面位于声学镜的外边,此外还可以为阶梯状、垂直状或是其它相似的结构。所述的压电层具有第一末端和对应的第二末端以及中间部分,并且位于底电极之上,两个末端部分分别向相反方向延伸到基底之上,从而使压电层在斜端面上形成阶梯型边缘。
顶电极109沉积在压电层107之上,包括位于压电层之上的中间的部分(即主体部)以及跨于压电层之上的第一末端的桥翼结构111和第二末端的桥翼结构116。在顶电极的第一末端与压电层之间设置有空气隙113,在对应的第二末端与压电层之间设置有空气隙118。
所述顶电极的两末端的桥翼结构在声学镜之内,同时在顶电极的第一末端和对应的第二末端下的压电材料表面有粗糙度。粗糙结构115和117的表面要比其周围压电层区域的表面粗糙,其典型的粗糙度范围可以为
可选的,可以为
或者在
左右。
底电极105、压电层107、顶电极109和声学镜103在厚度方向重叠的区域为谐振器的有效区域,即图中的区域d2,具有第一声阻抗。
谐振器在顶电极109的第一末端桥翼结构下的空气隙113和第二末端桥翼结构下的空气隙118处,具有第二声阻抗。由于在桥翼结构处的第二声阻抗与第一声阻抗不匹配,会使得声波在边界处传输不连续。因此在边界处,一部分声能就会耦合且反射到有效激励区域d2中,并且转换成与压电层表面垂直的活塞声波模式。同时由于粗糙结构115和117的表面与其周围压电层区域的表面相比更为粗糙,使得声波在粗糙结构中反射的周长变长,从而提高了声波反射的周期,使得一部分横向模式的声波会在粗糙结构中损失掉,从而降低了寄生模式。
桥翼结构以及粗糙结构可以增大横向模式边缘反射回来的声波的反射系数和从横向声波模式转换为活塞模式的转换效率,从而提高谐振器的Q值。因为桥翼结构没有改变有效激励区域外加电场方向的机械位移分布,因此不会降低谐振器的Q值,也不会对寄生模式强度有影响。
在图1B所示的体声波谐振器结构与图1A所示的实施例结构类似,它们都是沿着图1俯视图1B-1B所取的截面图。不同之处在于粗糙度位于顶电极的第一末端和对应的第二末端的上下表面形成粗糙结构。顶电极两末端部在上、下表面均形成粗糙结构,即都具有粗糙面,这能够进一步提升其声阻抗与第一声阻抗之间的不匹配程度,从而 进一步提升声波的反射能力和转换能力以及在粗糙结构中对寄生模式的抑制作用,使得谐振器的性能增加,其Q值进一步增加。
在图1C所示的体声波谐振器结构与图1A所示的实施例结构类似,它们都是沿着图1俯视图1B-1B所取的截面图。不同之处在于在底电极的两侧加入了平坦层,加入的平坦层与底电极的第一末端和第二末端的斜端面对齐,从而形成平整光滑的表面,这样有利于在底电极与平坦层的连接处上沉积有良好C-轴取向的压电薄膜。平坦层可以采用二氧化硅、氮化硅、碳化硅等合适的介质材料。
图2为根据本发明的一个示例性实施例的体声波谐振器的示意性俯视图。图2所示的体声波谐振器包括底电极205,压电层207,顶电极209,以及包含粗糙结构的桥部结构213。
图2A所示的实施例,为体声波谐振器沿着图2俯视图1B-1B所取的截面图。体声波谐振器包括基底201和声学镜203,此声学镜位于基底的上表面或嵌于基底的内部,在图2A中声学镜为嵌入基底中的空腔所构成,但是任何其它的声学镜结构如布拉格反射器也同样适用。
体声波谐振器还包括底电极205,压电层207和顶电极209。底电极沉积在声学镜的上表面,并覆盖声学镜。所述的底电极包含第一末端部、第二末端部、以及位于第一末端部和第二末端部的中间部分。可以将底电极的第一末端部和第二末端部刻蚀成斜面,并且该斜面位于声学镜的外边,此外还可以为阶梯状、垂直状或是其它相似的结构。所述的压电层具有第一末端和对应的第二末端以及中间部分,并且位于底电极之上,两个末端部分分别向相反方向延伸到基底之上,从而使压电层在斜端面上形成阶梯型边缘。
顶电极209沉积在压电层207之上,包括位于压电层之上的主体部以及跨于压电层之上的第二部分(连接部)的桥部结构211,在顶电极的第二部分与压电层之间为空气隙214。
顶电极的主体部与第二部分的连接处位于声学镜之内,其与声学镜之间的距离为d1,并且桥部结构跨越底电极并位于压电层上方,顶电极的第二部分的末端与底电极第二部分末端之间的距离为d2。同时在顶电极的第二部分下的压电材料表面有一粗糙度。粗糙结构213的表面要比其周围压电层区域的表面粗糙,其典型的粗糙度范围可以为
可选的,可以为
或者在
左右。
底电极205、压电层207、顶电极209和声学镜在厚度方向重叠的区域为谐振器的有效区域,即图中的区域d,具有第一声阻抗。在顶电极的第二部分桥部结构下的空气隙214处,具有第二声阻抗。由于在桥部结构处的第二声阻抗与第一声阻抗不匹配,会使得声波在边界处传输不连续。因此在边界处,一部分声能就会耦合且反射到有效激励区域d中,并且转换成与压电层表面垂直的活塞声波模式。同时由于粗糙结构213的表面与其周围压电层区域的表面相比更为粗糙,使得声波在粗糙结构中反射的周长变长,从而提高了声波反射的周期,使得一部分横向模式的声波会在粗糙结构中损失掉,从而降低了寄生模式。
桥部结构以及粗糙结构可以增大横向模式边缘反射回来的声波的反射系数和从横向声波模式转换为活塞模式的转换效率,从而提高谐振器的Q值。因为桥部结构没有改变有效激励区域外加电场方向的机械位移分布,因此不会降低谐振器的Q值,也不会对寄生模式强度有影响。
在图2B所示的体声波谐振器结构与图2A所示的实施例结构类似,它们都是沿着图2俯视图1B-1B所取的截面图。不同之处在于粗糙度位于顶电极的第二部分的上下表面形成粗糙结构。顶电极第二部分上下表面形成的粗糙结构,能够进一步提升其声阻抗与第一声阻抗之间的不匹配程度以及在粗糙结构中对寄生模式的抑制作用,从而进一步提升声波的反射能力和转换能力,使得谐振器的性能增加,其Q值进一步增加。
在图2C所示的体声波谐振器结构与图2A所示的实施例结构类似,它们都是沿着图2俯视图1B-1B所取的截面图。不同之处在于桥部结构位于底电极的第二部分和压电层的第二部分之间,且粗糙结构位于底电极的第二部分之上。
在图2D所示的体声波谐振器结构与图2A所示的实施例结构类似,它们都是沿着图2俯视图1B-1B所取的截面图。不同之处在于在底电极的两侧加入了平坦层,加入的平坦层与底电极的第一末端和第二末端的斜端面对齐,从而形成平整光滑的表面,这样有利于在底电极与平坦层的连接处上沉积有良好C-轴取向的压电薄膜。平坦层可以采用二氧化硅、氮化硅、碳化硅等合适的介质材料。
图3为根据本发明的一个示例性实施例的体声波谐振器的示意性俯视图。图3所示的实施例中,为压电谐振结构的俯视图。体声波谐振器包括体声波谐振器包括底电极305,压电层307,顶电极309,以及包含粗糙结构的桥部结构313和包含粗糙结构的桥翼结构311。
图3A所示的实施例中,为体声波谐振器沿着图3俯视图1B-1B所取的截面图。体声波谐振器包括基底301和声学镜303,此声学镜位于基底的上表面或嵌于基底的内部,在图3A中声学镜为嵌入基底中的空腔所构成,但是任何其它的声学镜结构如布拉格反射器也同样适用。
体声波谐振器还包括底电极305,压电层307和顶电极309。底电极沉积在声学镜的上表面,并覆盖声学镜。所述的底电极包含第一末端部、第二末端部、以及位于第一末端部和第二末端部的中间部分。可以将底电极的第一末端部和第二末端部刻蚀成斜面,并且该斜面位于声学镜的外边,此外还可以为阶梯状、垂直状或是其它相似的结构。所述的压电层具有第一末端和对应的第二末端以及中间部分,并且位于底电极之上,两个末端部分分别向相反方向延伸到基底之上,从而使压电层在斜端面上形成阶梯型边缘。
顶电极沉积在压电层之上,包括位于压电层之上的主体部、第一部分桥翼结构311以及跨于压电层之上的第二部分桥部结构313,在顶电极的第一、第二部分与压电层之间为空气隙315和317。顶电极的主体部与第二部分的连接处位于声学镜之内,其与声学镜之间的距离为d1,并且桥部结构跨越底电极并位于压电层上方,顶电极的第二部分的末端与底电极第二部分末端之间的距离为d2。顶电极的第一部分桥翼结构的边缘位于声学镜之内,其宽度为d3。同时,在顶电极第一部分下和第二部分下的压电材料表面有一粗糙度。粗糙结构319和321的表面要比其周围压电层区域的表面粗糙,其典型的粗糙度范围可以为
可选的,可以为
或者在
左右。
底电极、压电层、顶电极和声学镜在厚度方向重叠的区域为谐振器的有效区域,即图中的区域d,具有第一声阻抗。在顶电极的第一部分桥翼结构下和第二部分桥部结构下的空气隙214,具有第二声阻抗。由于在桥翼、桥部结构处的第二声阻抗与第一声阻抗不匹配,会使得声波在边界处传输不连续。因此在边界处,一部分声能就会耦合且反射到有效激励区域d中,并且转换成与压电层表面垂直的活塞声波模式。同时由于粗糙结构319和321的表面与其周围压电层区域的表面相比更为粗糙,使得声波在粗糙结构中反射的周长变长,从而提高了声波反射的周期,使得一部分横向模式的声波会在粗糙结构中损失掉,从而降低了寄生模式。
桥翼结构、桥部结构以及粗糙结构可以增大横向模式边缘反射回来的声波的反射 系数和从横向声波模式转换为活塞模式的转换效率,从而提高谐振器的Q值。因为桥翼、桥部结构没有改变有效激励区域外加电场方向的机械位移分布,因此不会降低谐振器的Q值,也不会对寄生模式强度有影响。
在图3B所示的体声波谐振器结构与图3A所示的实施例结构类似,它们都是沿着图3俯视图1B-1B所取的截面图。不同之处在于粗糙度位于顶电极的第一、第二部分的上下表面形成粗糙结构。顶电极第一、第二部分上下表面形成的粗糙结构,能够进一步提升其声阻抗与第一声阻抗之间的不匹配程度以及在粗糙结构中对寄生模式的抑制作用,从而进一步提升声波的反射能力和转换能力,使得谐振器的性能增加,其Q值进一步增加。
在图3C所示的体声波谐振器结构与图3A所示的实施例结构类似,它们都是沿着图3俯视图1B-1B所取的截面图。不同之处在于在底电极的两侧加入了平坦层,加入的平坦层与底电极的第一末端和第二末端的斜端面对齐,从而形成平整光滑的表面,这样有利于在底电极与平坦层的连接处上沉积有良好C-轴取向的压电薄膜。平坦层可以采用二氧化硅、氮化硅、碳化硅等合适的介质材料。
基于以上,本发明的实施例提出了一种体声波谐振器,包括:基底;声学镜;底电极,设置在基底上方;顶电极,与所述底电极对置;和压电层,设置在底电极上方以及底电极与顶电极之间,其中:声学镜、底电极、压电层、顶电极在基底的厚度方向重叠的区域为谐振器的有效区域;所述谐振器邻近所述有效区域的边界且在边界之外设置有空气隙;所述空气隙对应的表面中的至少一个表面为粗糙面,该粗糙面的粗糙度大于该粗糙面所在部件的该粗糙面周围部分表面的粗糙度,且所述压电层内掺杂有稀土元素。

体声波谐振器还包括底电极405,压电层407和顶电极409以及粗糙结构415。底电极沉积在声学镜的上表面,并覆盖声学镜。粗糙结构415位于顶电极边缘周围区域压电层的上表面。粗糙结构415的表面要比其周围压电层区域的表面粗糙,其典型的粗糙度范围可以为

或者在
左右。
底电极、压电层、顶电极和声学镜在厚度方向重叠的区域为谐振器的有效区域,具有第一声阻抗。在粗糙结构415中具有第二声阻抗。由于在粗糙结构中的第二声阻抗与第一声阻抗不匹配,会使得声波在边界处传输不连续。因此在边界处,一部分声能就会耦合且反射到有效激励区域中,并且转换成与压电层表面垂直的活塞声波模式。同时由于粗糙结构415的表面与其周围压电层区域的表面相比更为粗糙,使得声波在粗糙结构中反射的周长变长,从而提高了声波反射的周期,使得一部分横向模式的声波会在粗糙结构中损失掉,从而降低了寄生模式。
