  • Publication number: 20250219609
    Abstract: A film bulk acoustic resonator, including: a substrate; an acoustic reflection structure; a bottom electrode; a piezoelectric film; a top electrode; and a raised frame. A spatial region formed by overlapping of the acoustic reflection structure, the bottom electrode, and the piezoelectric film and the top electrode in a thickness direction of the film bulk acoustic resonator is a resonance region, in which the raised frame is arranged, and openings are formed at a side of the raised frame away from the top electrode. The film bulk acoustic resonator can reduce the area ratio of the raised frame in the resonance region and the intensity of the parasitic resonance peak introduced by the raised frame without reducing the Q value of the resonator and without increasing manufacturing process steps.

  • Patent number: 12283942
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a piezoelectric resonator comprising a substrate having an acoustic reflection mirror, a bottom electrode stacked on the substrate, a piezoelectric layer disposed on the substrate and covering the bottom electrode, and a top electrode stacked on a surface of piezoelectric layer distal to the bottom electrode. An overlapping portion of the acoustic reflection mirror, the bottom electrode, the piezoelectric layer, and the top electrode along a thickness direction of the piezoelectric resonator is a resonance region. A sidewall of the top electrode or a bottom electrode recesses to form a recessing portion. The recessing portion does not extend to an upper surface or a lower surface of the top electrode or the bottom electrode.
