  • Publication number: 20210194456
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a packaging method and packaging structure of an FBAR. A second cavity in a resonator cover provided includes a groove in a second substrate and a space surrounded by an elastic bonding material layer. The elastic bonding material layer bonds the resonator cover to a resonant cavity main structure, and elasticity of the elastic bonding material layer is removed after the bonding.

Since the second cavity includes the groove in the second substrate and the space surrounded by the elastic bonding material layer, which can avoid problems that performance of the elastic bonding material layer is unstable with temperature and humidity changes when the second cavity is entirely surrounded by the elastic bonding material layer, that is, the stability of the resonator is improved.
