  • Patent number: 12489426
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for a surface-acoustic-wave filter with an electrical conductor having a floating potential. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes a surface-acoustic-wave filter with a piezoelectric layer and an electrode structure disposed on a surface of the piezoelectric layer. The electrode structure includes a first comb-shaped structure and a second comb-shaped structure. The electrode structure also includes at least one electrical conductor positioned between the first comb-shaped structure and the second comb-shaped structure such that a gap separates the at least one electrical conductor from the first comb-shaped structure and the second comb-shaped structure.

  • Patent number: 12381531
    Abstract: A SAW resonator with reduced spurious modes is provided. The resonator comprises a (111) silicon carrier substrate (CS), an electrode structure (ES) and a piezoelectric layer (PIL). The carrier substrate has a crystal orientation with the Euler angles (?45°±10°; ?54°±10°; 60°±30°) and the piezoelectric layer comprises LiTaO3 and has a crystal orientation with the Euler angles (0°; 56°±8°; 0°). There may be intermediate layers (IL1, IL2) of SiO2 and amorphous or polycrystalline materials. In addition a silicon nitride layer is provided as passivation (PAL). Electrodes are made of aluminum. Thicknesses of all layers are selected in particular ranges to optimize SAW behaviour.

  • Patent number: 12355424
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communication, and high-frequency filters with resonators. One aspect is a device including first and second busbars, and electrode fingers coupled between the busbars, with electrode fingers extending different distances toward an opposite busbar such that a second end of each of the electrode fingers collectively form wave shapes. The device further includes pluralities of gap reflectors positioned between the wave shapes and a nearest busbar.

  • Patent number: 12040774
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for site-selective piezoelectric-layer trimming. The apparatus includes at least one surface-acoustic-wave filter with an electrode structure and a piezoelectric layer. The electrode structure has multiple gaps. The piezoelectric layer has a planar surface defined by a first (X) axis and a second (Y) axis that is perpendicular to the first (X) axis. The piezoelectric layer is configured to propagate an acoustic wave along the first (X) axis. The piezoelectric layer includes a first portion that supports the electrode structure and a second portion that is exposed by the multiple gaps of the electrode structure. The second portion has different heights across the second (Y) axis. The different heights are defined with respect to a third (Z) axis that is substantially normal to the planar surface.
