Disclosed is an acoustic resonator including a substrate including a first cavity, a first electrode formed above the substrate, a piezoelectric layer formed on one surface of the first electrode, and a second electrode formed on one surface of the piezoelectric layer. Here, the piezoelectric layer includes a longitudinal section not to cover a longitudinal section of the first electrode. Also, the second electrode covers the longitudinal section of the piezoelectric layer and extends to a first interpolar cavity which spaces the first electrode at least partially apart from the piezoelectric layer. A quality factor may be increased by fixing an increase in resistance which occurs due to thin film electrodes.

Acoustic resonator

Provided is an acoustic resonator including: a substrate including a first cavity; a first electrode formed above the substrate; a piezoelectric layer formed on one surface of the first electrode; and a second electrode formed on one surface of the piezoelectric layer, wherein the first electrode and the piezoelectric layer include an overlapping area that corresponds to a first end and a second end of the first cavity, the first electrode has a termination surface formed as an inclined surface of a first acute angle θoutside the overlapping area with respect to the second end of the first cavity, the piezoelectric layer is formed to include a first air bridge area that has a second cavity and is formed between the piezoelectric layer and the first electrode in a vertical direction and between the second end of the first cavity and the termination surface in a horizontal direction.

Disclosed is an air-gap type film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) including a substrate including an air-gap portion on a top surface, a lower electrode having a polygonal plate shape above the substrate and configured to surround a top of the air-gap portion, a piezoelectric layer formed above the lower electrode, and an upper electrode formed above the piezoelectric layer. Here, the lower electrode includes an electrode non-deposited area formed between one side plate boundary surface of the polygonal plate and one side air-gap boundary surface of the air-gap portion to expose one part of a top of the air-gap portion.

Air-gap type film bulk acoustic resonator

Disclosed is an air-gap type film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) including a substrate including an air-gap portion with a top surface in which a substrate cavity is formed, a lower electrode formed above the substrate while surrounding the air-gap portion, a piezoelectric layer formed above the lower electrode, and an upper electrode formed above the piezoelectric layer corresponding to a virtual area formed according to a vertical projection of the air-gap portion. Here, the piezoelectric layer includes a void portion having a piezoelectric cavity between the lower electrode and the upper electrode, and the void portion is formed below an edge portion corresponding to an end part of the upper electrode.
