  • Publication number: 20070126527
    Abstract: A duplexer which prevents effects between transmitter and receiver filters. The duplexer include a substrate, a transmitter filter fabricated in a predetermined first area on a surface of the substrate, a receiver filter fabricated in a predetermined second area on the surface of the substrate and an air cavity fabricated in an area between the predetermined first and second areas by etching the substrate to isolate the transmitter and receiver filters from each other. The air cavity is fabricated in the substrate perpendicular to directions along which the transmitter and receiver filters are disposed. Accordingly, physical effects among elements can be effectively intercepted.

  • Patent number: 6842089
    Abstract: Disclosed are a film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device and a method for fabricating the film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device. The film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device comprises a membrane layer having a plurality of active regions and provides different resonant frequencies by providing different thicknesses of the active regions of series resonators and shunt resonators, and by controlling the thicknesses, respectively. A plurality of the film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices having different resonant frequencies are manufactured on a substrate, thereby simultaneously manufacturing a transmission filter and a reception filter on the same substrate. Further, the film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device has a stable structure and excellent characteristics.
