Abstract: Techniques for improving Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonator structures are disclosed, including filters, oscillators and systems that may include such devices. First and second layers of piezoelectric material may be acoustically coupled with one another to have a piezoelectrically excitable resonance mode. The first layer of piezoelectric material may have a first piezoelectric axis orientation, and the second layer of piezoelectric material may have a second piezoelectric axis orientation that substantially opposes the first piezoelectric axis orientation of the first layer of piezoelectric material. An acoustic reflector electrode may include a first pair of top metal electrode layers electrically and acoustically coupled with the first and second layer of piezoelectric material to excite the piezoelectrically excitable resonance mode at a resonant frequency of the BAW resonator. The acoustic reflector may include a patterned layer.
