Abstract: An acoustic resonator is fabricated by forming a patterned first photoresist mask on a piezoelectric plate at locations of a desired interdigital transducer (IDT) pattern. An etch-stop layer is then deposited on the plate and first photoresist mask. The first photoresist mask is removed to remove parts of the etch-stop and expose the plate. An IDT conductor material is deposited on the etch stop and the exposed plate. A patterned second photoresist mask is then formed on the conductor material at locations of the IDT pattern. The conductor material is then etched over and to the etch-stop to form the IDT pattern which has interleaved fingers on a diaphragm to span a substrate cavity. A portion of the plate and the etch-stop form the diaphragm. The etch-stop and photoresist mask are impervious to this etch. The second photoresist mask is removed to leave the IDT pattern.
