  • Patent number: 12209324
    Abstract: A preparation method, a product and an application of a composite membrane with a self-repairing function are provided by the present application, relating to the technical field of surface treatment of metallic materials. The preparation method includes the following steps: adding cobalt salt, tungsten salt, complexing agent and buffering agent into water to obtain a mixed solution, and adjusting a pH value to acidity to obtain an acidic solution; adding cerium oxide and surfactant into the acidic solution to obtain an electrolyte system; and placing a metal substrate in the electrolyte system for electrodeposition to obtain the composite membrane with self-repairing function. By means of constant potential composite electrodeposition on a metallic material substrate, the invention eventually forms a micron-scale composite membrane with a self-healing function and a thickness of 6-8 micrometers on the surfaces of the metallic materials.

  • Patent number: 12101077
    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a bulk acoustic wave device with a multi-layer raised frame. The bulk acoustic wave device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a piezoelectric layer positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a multi-layer raised frame structure configured to cause lateral energy leakage from a main acoustically active region of the bulk acoustic wave device to be reduced. The multi-layer raised frame structure includes a first raised frame layer embedded in the piezoelectric layer and a second raised frame layer. The first raised frame layer has a lower acoustic impedance than the piezoelectric layer.

  • Patent number: 12088278
    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate bulk acoustic wave resonators with a patterned mass loading layer at least contributing to a difference in mass loading between a main acoustically active region of the bulk acoustic wave resonator and a recessed frame region of the bulk acoustic wave resonator. Related methods of manufacturing can involve forming the patterned mass loading layer in the main acoustically active region and the recessed frame region in a common processing step such that the patterned mass loading layer has a higher density in the main acoustically active region than in the recessed frame region.
