  • Publication number: 20220069798
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an acoustic resonator device, among other things. One example of the disclosed acoustic resonator device includes a substrate having a carrier layer, a first layer disposed over the carrier layer, and a piezoelectric layer disposed over the first layer. The acoustic resonator device is also disclosed to include an interdigitated metal disposed over the piezoelectric layer, where the interdigitated metal is configured to generate acoustic waves within an acoustically active region. The acoustic resonator device is further disclosed to include an acoustic wave scattering structure.

  • Patent number: 9225313
    Abstract: A bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator structure includes a first electrode disposed over a substrate, a piezoelectric layer disposed over the first electrode and a second electrode disposed over the first piezoelectric layer. The piezoelectric layer is formed of a piezoelectric material doped with one of erbium or yttrium at an atomic percentage of greater than three for improving piezoelectric properties of the piezoelectric layer.
