  • Publication number: 20230336151
    Abstract: A resonator circuit device. This device can include a piezoelectric layer having a front-side electrode and a back-side electrode spatially configured on opposite sides of the piezoelectric layer. Each electrode has a connection region and a resonator region. Each electrode also includes a partial mass-loaded structure configured within a vicinity of its connection region. The front-side electrode and the back-side electrode are spatially configured in an anti-symmetrical manner with the resonator regions of both electrodes at least partially overlapping and the first and second connection regions on opposing sides. This configuration provides a symmetric acoustic impedance profile for improved Q factor and can reduce the issues of misalignment or unbalanced boundary conditions associated with conventional single mass-loaded perimeter configurations.

  • Publication number: 20230112046
    Abstract: A resonator circuit device. The present invention provides for improved resonator shapes using egg-shaped, partial egg-shaped, and asymmetrical partial egg-shaped resonator structures. These resonator shapes are configured to give less spurious mode/noise below the resonant frequency (Fs) than rectangular, circular, and elliptical resonator shapes. These improved resonator shapes also provide filter layout flexibility, which allows for more compact resonator devices compared to resonator devices using conventionally shaped resonators.
