The present disclosure provides an acoustic resonator device, among other things. One example of the disclosed acoustic resonator device includes a substrate having a carrier layer, a first layer disposed over the carrier layer, and a piezoelectric layer disposed over the first layer. The acoustic resonator device is also disclosed to include an interdigitated metal disposed over the piezoelectric layer, where the interdigitated metal is configured to generate acoustic waves within an acoustically active region. The acoustic resonator device is further disclosed to include an acoustic wave scattering structure.

Acoustic resonator device

A bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator structure includes a first electrode disposed over a substrate, a piezoelectric layer disposed over the first electrode and a second electrode disposed over the first piezoelectric layer. The piezoelectric layer is formed of a piezoelectric material doped with one of erbium or yttrium at an atomic percentage of greater than three for improving piezoelectric properties of the piezoelectric layer.

Bulk acoustic wave resonator having doped piezoelectric layer with improved piezoelectric characteristics

In accordance with a representative embodiment, a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator structure, comprises: a first BAW resonator comprising a first lower electrode, a first upper electrode and a first piezoelectric layer disposed between the first lower electrode and the first upper electrode; a second BAW resonator comprising a second lower electrode, a second upper electrode and a second piezoelectric layer disposed between the second lower electrode and the second upper electrode; and a single-material acoustic coupling layer disposed between the first and second BAW resonators, the acoustic coupling layer having an acoustic impedance less than approximately 6.0 MRayls and an acoustic attenuation less than approximately 1000 dB/cm.
