Filter devices are disclosed. A filter device includes a piezoelectric plate comprising a supported portion, a first diaphragm, and a second diaphragm. The supported portion is attached to a substrate and the first and second diaphragms spans respective cavities in the substrate. A first interdigital transducer (IDT) has interleaved fingers on the first diaphragm. A second interdigital transducer (IDT) has interleaved fingers on the second diaphragm. A first dielectric layer is between the interleaved fingers of the first IDT, and a second dielectric layer is between the interleaved fingers of the second IDT. A thickness of the first dielectric layer is greater than a thickness of the second dielectric layer. The piezoelectric plate and the first and second IDTs are configured such that radio frequency signals applied to first and second IDTs excite primary shear acoustic modes in the respective diaphragms.

Filter device

An acoustic resonator has a piezoelectric plate attached to the surface of the substrate except for a portion of the piezoelectric plate forming a diaphragm spanning a cavity in the substrate. An interdigital transducer (IDT) formed on the plate has interleaved fingers on the diaphragm with first parallel fingers extending from a first busbar and second parallel fingers extending from a second busbar of the IDT. The first and second busbars of the IDT terminate in beveled corners that extend off of the diaphragm as side edges of the busbars that form angles with a perimeter of the cavity.

A 5 GHz Wi-Fi bandpass filter includes a ladder filter circuit with two or more shunt transversely-excited film bulk acoustic resonators (XBARs) and two or more series XBARs. Each of the two or more shunt XBARS includes a diaphragm having an LN-equivalent thickness greater than or equal to 360 nm, and each of the two or more series XBARS includes a diaphragm having an LN-equivalent thickness less than or equal to 375 nm.

Tiled filters are disclosed. A filter includes an n×m array of sub-filters, where n is a number of sub-filters in parallel and m is a number of sub-filters in series. n and m are non-zero positive integers and at least one of n and m is greater than one. All of the nm sub-filters are bandpass filters with substantially the same passbands.
