Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for a surface-acoustic-wave filter with a compensation layer having multiple densities. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes at least one surface-acoustic-wave filter with a piezoelectric layer, a substrate layer, and a compensation layer positioned between the piezoelectric layer and the substrate layer. The compensation layer includes a first portion having a first density and a second portion having a second density. The second density is greater than the first density. The first portion is positioned closer to the piezoelectric layer as compared to the second portion. The second portion is positioned closer to the substrate layer as compared to the first portion.

Abstract: A method for forming an aluminum nitride layer (310, 320) comprises the provision of a substrate (100) and the forming of a patterned metal nitride layer (110). A bottom electrode metal layer (210) is formed on the exposed portions (101) of the substrate. An aluminum nitride layer portion (320) grown above the exposed portion (101) of the substrate (100) exhibits piezoelectric properties. An aluminum nitride layer portion (310) grown above the patterned metal nitride layer (110) exhibits no piezoelectric properties (310). Both aluminum nitride layer portions (320, 310) are grown simultaneously.

Abstract: The microacoustic component has a substrate that has at least one layer (composed of a dielectric or piezoelectric material, and a metallic strip structure. The layer is composed of a dielectric or piezoelectric material and/or the metallic strip structure have/has been produced or can be produced by the atomic layer deposition method.
