Abstract
An acoustic resonator device including a piezoelectric layer, a first electrode disposed adjacent to a first surface of the piezoelectric layer, and a second electrode disposed adjacent to a second surface of the piezoelectric layer. At least one of the first electrode and the second electrode includes a first conductive layer disposed adjacent to the piezoelectric layer and having a first acoustic impedance, and a second conductive layer disposed on a side of the first conductive layer opposite the piezoelectric layer and having a second acoustic impedance greater than the first acoustic impedance. The acoustic resonator device further includes at least one lateral feature for increasing quality factor Q of the acoustic resonator structure. The at least one lateral feature includes at least one of an air-ring between the piezoelectric layer and the second electrode, and a frame on at least one of the first electrode and the piezoelectric layer.
