Abstract

We report a frequency tunable Lamb wave piezoelectric resonator using an Al0.7Sc0.3 N thin film. The frequency tuning of the resonator is demonstrated by its stiffness manipulation which is achieved by terminating the tuning electrodes (TE) with a variable capacitor. Resonators with 2, 3, 4, and 5 TE were fabricated and characterized. The highest tuning range of 24,694 ppm was achieved for the resonator with 5 TE. Whereas the best insertion loss of approximately −6 dB was demonstrated by the resonator with 2 TE. The tunning range (17,783

$\sim $

24,694 ppm) achieved by the Al0.7Sc0.3 N resonators is higher than zero power demonstrations in prior studies. The resonators are fabricated using a commercial XBAW

$^{\mathrm {TM}}$

process making it suitable for mass production without any needed exotic processing steps or materials. The resonators are promising for miniaturization of modern wireless communications system by providing a platform to process multi-channel frequencies with reduced components. [2023-0193]

使用 Al0.7Sc0.3N 的高可调谐压电谐振器

我们报告了一种使用 Al0.7Sc0.3 N 薄膜的频率可调 Lamb 波压电谐振器。谐振器的频率可调是通过其刚度操纵实现的，而刚度操纵是通过用可变电容终止调谐电极（TE）来实现的。我们制作并鉴定了具有 2、3、4 和 5 个 TE 的谐振器。具有 5 个 TE 的谐振器实现了 24 694 ppm 的最高调谐范围。而 2 TE 谐振器的插入损耗最佳，约为 -6 dB。Al0.7Sc0.3 N谐振器实现的调谐范围（17,783 $\sim $ 24,694 ppm）高于先前研究中的零功率演示。谐振器采用商用 XBAW $^{\mathrm {TM}}$工艺制造，因此适合大规模生产，无需任何特殊的加工步骤或材料。这种谐振器为使用更少的元件处理多通道频率提供了一个平台，从而有望实现现代无线通信系统的小型化。[2023-0193]
