Abstract
Structures for suppressing parasitic acoustic waves in semiconductor structures and integrated circuit devices are described. Such integrated circuit devices can, typically, produce undesirable acoustic wave resonances, and the acoustic waves can degrade the performance of the devices. In that context, some embodiments described herein relate to spoiling a conductive path that participates in the generation of acoustic waves. Some embodiments relate to spoiling acoustic characteristics of an acoustic resonant structure that may be present in the vicinity of the device. Combined embodiments that spoil the conductive path and acoustic characteristics are also possible.
