Abstract
Bulk acoustic wave filters and/or bulk acoustic resonators integrated with CMOS devices, are provided. The structure includes a single crystalline beam formed from a silicon layer of a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate; insulator material coating the single crystalline beam; an upper cavity formed above the single crystalline beam, over a portion of the insulator material; a lower cavity formed in lower wafer bonded to an insulator layer of the SOI substrate, below the single crystalline beam and the insulator layer of the SOI substrate; a connecting via that connects the upper cavity to the lower cavity, the connecting via being coated with the insulator material; and a Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) filter or Bulk Acoustic Resonator (BAR) in electrical connection with the single crystalline beam.
