Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for site-selective piezoelectric-layer trimming. The apparatus includes at least one surface-acoustic-wave filter with an electrode structure and a piezoelectric layer. The electrode structure has multiple gaps. The piezoelectric layer has a planar surface defined by a first (X) axis and a second (Y) axis that is perpendicular to the first (X) axis. The piezoelectric layer is configured to propagate an acoustic wave along the first (X) axis. The piezoelectric layer includes a first portion that supports the electrode structure and a second portion that is exposed by the multiple gaps of the electrode structure. The second portion has different heights across the second (Y) axis. The different heights are defined with respect to a third (Z) axis that is substantially normal to the planar surface.
