Design and Preparation of Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators with Edge Air Layers
The piezoelectric film has an inherent nonlinear hysteresis response to the piezoelectric effect,and the sound wave has a shear wave component that propagates toward the edge,both of which will cause energy loss of the sound wave.In this paper,a single-crystalline aluminum nitride thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator(SA-BAR)with an edge air layer structure is designed,which can reduce the electromechanical loss of nonlinear hystere-sis,prevent the leakage of shear wave energy,and improve the quality factor of the resonator.COMSOL is used to conduct finite element simulation of the device,and a resonator with an edge air layer structure was successfully pre-pared for testing and verification.
