  • Acoustic resonator with Al electrodes on an AlN layer and using a GaAs substrate
    Patent number: 4556812
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an acoustic wave resonator wherein all processing steps are accomplished from a single side of said substrate. The method involves deposition of a multi-layered Al/AlN structure on a GaAs substrate followed by a series of fabrication steps to define a resonator from said composite. The resulting resonator comprises an AlN layer between two Al layers and another layer of AlN on an exterior of one of said Al layers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 18, 1984
    Date of Patent: December 3, 1985
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States Department of Energy
    Inventors: Gerald R. Kline, Kenneth M. Lakin
