Abstract

Piezoelectric microresonators have revolutionized modern wireless communication. While billions of these devices are in widespread use across a range of frequencies, materials, and device geometries, every piezoelectric microresonator in current use shares one common characteristic: they all manipulate (quasi) plane waves. While the ideas around waveguiding and strong confinement of acoustic fields have been around since the early days of ultrasonics research, they have had relatively little impact on modern devices. Building on recent developments in related fields, in particular integrated photonics and quantum computing, we outline the prospects for piezoelectric phononic integrated circuits, which can manipulate gigahertz acoustic waves in micrometer-scale waveguide geometries in low-loss chipscale platforms. We also discuss the main roadblocks, with an emphasis on insertion loss, which need to be addressed for these devices to have the desired impact on future systems.

压电声波集成电路

压电微谐振器彻底改变了现代无线通信。虽然这些设备的使用范围广泛，涉及各种频率、材料和设备几何形状，但目前使用的每一种压电微谐振器都有一个共同特点：它们都能操纵（准）平面波。虽然波导和声场强约束的概念早在超声波研究初期就已出现，但对现代设备的影响相对较小。基于相关领域，特别是集成光子学和量子计算领域的最新发展，我们概述了压电声子集成电路的前景，这种集成电路可以在低损耗芯片级平台的微米级波导几何结构中操纵千兆赫声波。我们还讨论了主要障碍（重点是插入损耗），要使这些器件对未来系统产生预期影响，必须解决这些障碍。

期刊介绍： Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology. In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics. APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field. Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
