In a piezoelectric device, a lower covering layer, a piezoelectric material layer, a lower electrode layer, and an upper electrode layer, which define common layers, and an upper covering layer, which defines a specific layer, are laminated on a substrate. The piezoelectric material layer is sandwiched between a pair of electrodes. First to third vibration regions are provided in which the electrodes are superimposed with the piezoelectric material layer therebetween when viewed in a transparent manner in the direction in which the layers are laminated. The upper covering layer includes only a portion having with a first thickness in the first vibration region, includes a portion having the first thickness and a portion having a second thickness that is smaller than the first thickness in the second vibration region, and includes only a portion having the second thickness in the third vibration region.
The present invention relates to a piezoelectric device and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to a piezoelectric device including a bulk acoustic wave resonator using a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) and a manufacturing method thereof.
Conventionally, piezoelectric devices including bulk acoustic wave resonators having different frequencies (hereinafter also referred to as “BAW resonators”) have been proposed.
For example, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 8, first and second BAW resonators 111 and 112 in which electrodes 141 to 144 are formed on both main surfaces of a piezoelectric film 131 on a substrate 101 having an air gap 101a. Is retained. The electrodes 141 and 143 of the first BAW resonator 111 are formed using gold (Au), and the electrodes 142 and 144 of the second BAW resonator 112 are formed using titanium (Ti). Then, Ti of the electrodes 142 and 144 of the second BAW resonator 112 is etched using only an Au-based etchant that is not etched, and only the Au electrodes 141 and 143 of the first BAW resonator 111 are etched. The frequency of the resonator 111 is adjusted. Further, the Au of the electrodes 141 and 143 of the first BAW resonator 111 is etched using only the Ti electrodes 142 and 144 of the second BAW resonator 112 by using a hydrofluoric acid-based etchant that is not etched.

When manufacturing a piezoelectric device including three or more types of resonators having different resonance frequencies, the method of combining an electrode material and an etchant as in Patent Document 1 requires two or more types of etchants, and the etching process is performed a plurality of times. There is a need to do.
In the method of adding mass as in Non-Patent Document 1, a step of forming a mass load twice or more is required (heavy and light together).
In view of such a situation, the present invention intends to provide a piezoelectric device that can manufacture a piezoelectric device including three or more types of resonators having different resonance frequencies by a simple process, and a manufacturing method thereof.
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a piezoelectric device configured as follows.
The piezoelectric device includes (a) a substrate, and (b) at least two common layers and at least one specific layer stacked on the substrate. The common layer and the specific layer sandwich a piezoelectric body between a pair of electrodes, and the electrodes overlap with each other through the piezoelectric body when viewed in the stacking direction of the common layer and the specific layer. First to third vibration regions are formed. The first to third vibration regions are acoustically separated from the substrate. The specific layer includes a first portion extending with a first thickness and a second portion extending with a second thickness smaller than the first thickness in the first to third vibration regions. In different proportions. The resonators including the first to third vibration regions have different resonance frequencies.
In the above configuration, the vibration region may include only a facing region where the electrodes face each other via the piezoelectric body, or may include a region adjacent to both sides or one side of the facing region in the stacking direction. That is, even if the common layer and the specific layer are only the layer that forms the opposing region, that is, only the layer that forms the electrode and the piezoelectric layer, a layer other than the layer that forms the opposing region, for example, a layer that covers the electrode. May be included.
According to the above configuration, when the specific layer in the first to third vibration regions includes the first portion and the second portion having different thicknesses at different ratios, vibration is generated in the first to third vibration regions. Since the propagation modes are different, the resonators each including the first to third vibration regions have different resonance frequencies. The specific layers of the first to third vibration regions can be formed simultaneously in the same process.
Therefore, a piezoelectric device including three or more types of resonators having different resonance frequencies can be manufactured by a simple process.
Preferably, the specific layer includes only the first portion in the first vibration region, and includes the first portion and the second portion in the second vibration region, and the third vibration. Only the second part is included in the region. In this case, it is possible to form a resonator having an intermediate resonance frequency between a resonator in which the specific layer in the vibration region has only the first portion and a resonator in which the specific layer in the vibration region has only the second portion.
In a preferred aspect, all the common layers are disposed between the specific layer and the substrate.
In this case, the specific layer is the uppermost layer opposite to the substrate. Since each layer is formed in order from the substrate side, the specific layer is formed in a relatively later process, and the frequency is adjusted. Therefore, compared with the case where a specific layer is formed in a relatively previous process, the yield rate is higher.
In another preferable aspect, the specific layer forms one of a pair of the electrodes.
In the other preferable embodiment, more preferably, the other of the pair of electrodes extends between the specific layer and the substrate.
In this case, since the specific layer that forms one electrode is formed in a later process than the other electrode, the yield rate is higher than when the other electrode is formed after the specific layer that forms one electrode. Become.
Preferably, the first portion has a lattice shape.
In this case, it is easy to produce and remove the resist. Moreover, unnecessary spurious can be reduced.
Preferably, the second portion has a lattice shape.
Preferably, the first part and the second part are alternately arranged concentrically.
Preferably, the first portion and the second portion are alternately arranged in a similar shape along an outer peripheral edge of the vibration region including the first portion and the second portion.
In the case where the second portion has a lattice shape, preferably, the pitch of the lattice of the second portion is f for the resonance frequency of the resonator including the second portion, and the sound speed of the vibration region including the second portion. Is less than or equal to ½ of the wavelength λ defined by λ = v / f.
In this case, unnecessary spurious can be reduced.
Preferably, a plurality of the second vibration regions having different area ratios of the first portion and the second portion when seen through from the stacking direction are formed.
In this case, four or more resonators having different resonance frequencies can be easily formed.
Moreover, this invention provides the manufacturing method of a piezoelectric device which manufactures the piezoelectric device of each said structure.
In the method of manufacturing a piezoelectric device, after forming the specific layer having the first thickness for the first to third vibration regions, etching is performed for at least one specific layer of the first to third vibration regions. And forming the second part.
In this case, fine frequency adjustment can be easily performed by etching.
The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing another piezoelectric device, which manufactures the piezoelectric device having the above-described configuration.
In the method for manufacturing a piezoelectric device, the specific layer may be uniformly formed to the second thickness in the first to third vibration regions, and then the specific layer may be formed into at least one of the first to third vibration regions. The first portion is formed by forming a film.
In this case, frequency adjustment can be performed without increasing the number of steps.
The present invention can manufacture a piezoelectric device including three or more types of resonators having different resonance frequencies by a simple process.

(Conventional example)
Example 1 A piezoelectric device 10 of Example 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of the piezoelectric device 10. As shown in FIG. 1, a lower coating layer 14a, a lower electrode layer 16, a piezoelectric layer 14b, an upper electrode layer 18, and an upper coating layer 14c are sequentially laminated on the upper surface 12a of the substrate 12. The lower electrode layer 16 and the upper electrode layer 18 include an electrode and a wiring connected to the electrode, and the electrodes of the lower electrode layer 16 and the upper electrode layer 18 are connected to each other when viewed from the stacking direction (vertical direction in FIG. 1). Patterned so as to overlap each other. Each of the stacked layers 14a to 14c, 16, and 18 includes first to third vibration regions 17p to 17r where the electrodes of the lower electrode layer 16 and the upper electrode layer 18 overlap when viewed in the stacking direction. It is disposed on a recess 12x formed on the upper surface 12a side of the substrate 12 and is acoustically separated from the substrate 12 by an air gap. That is, vibration excited by applying a voltage between the electrodes of the lower electrode layer 16 and the upper electrode layer 18 propagates in the vibration regions 17p to 17r, but does not propagate to the substrate 12.
In the piezoelectric device 10, three resonators 10p to 10r including vibration regions 17p to 17r, respectively, are formed. The resonators 10p to 10r are configured in the same manner except for the shape of the upper surface 14s of the upper covering layer 14c. The upper covering layer 14c is a specific layer of the present invention. The lower covering layer 14a, the lower electrode layer 16, the piezoelectric layer 14b, and the upper electrode layer 18 are common layers of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of an etching pattern on the upper surface 14s of the upper coating layer 14c. As shown in FIG. 2, the upper surface 14s of the upper covering layer 14c is etched by the etching patterns 20 and 30 shown in black.
That is, the upper surface 14s of the upper covering layer 14c in the first vibration region 17p is not etched. Upper surface 14s of the top coat layer 14c of the second vibration area 17 q is a grid-like etching pattern 20 is partially etched. As shown in FIG. 1, the etching pattern 20 may protrude outside the second vibration region 17q. The entire upper surface 14s of the upper covering layer 14c in the third vibration region 17r is etched as shown by the etching pattern 30 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the etching pattern 30 may protrude outside the third vibration region 17r.
As shown in FIG. 1, the upper covering layer 14c remains the original film thickness (first thickness) in the first vibration region 17p. The second vibration region 17q includes a first portion 15a that is partially thinned and has the original film thickness, and a second portion 15b that has a thickness (second thickness) smaller than the original film thickness. In the third vibration region 17r, only the second portion 15c is made thin as a whole and has a thickness (second thickness) smaller than the original film thickness.
Since the resonators 10p to 10r have different mass loads due to the upper coating layer 14c in the respective vibration regions 17p to 17r, the frequency characteristics thereof are different.
Next, an example of manufacturing the piezoelectric device 10 will be described.
First, the lower coating layer 14a, the lower electrode layer 16, the piezoelectric layer 14b, the upper electrode layer 18, and the upper coating layer 14c are sequentially formed and patterned on the upper surface 12a of the substrate 12.
Specifically, an AlN film having a thickness of 30 nm is formed as the lower coating layer 14a. A W film having a thickness of 620 nm is formed as the lower electrode layer 16. As the piezoelectric layer 14b, an AlN film having a thickness of 1590 nm is formed. A W film having a thickness of 540 nm is formed as the upper electrode layer 18. An AlN film having a thickness of 330 nm is formed as the upper covering layer 14c.
Next, a resist pattern is formed on the upper surface 14s of the upper covering layer 14c, which is the uppermost layer, and etching is performed.
The resist pattern is formed so as to cover the entire surface of the first vibration region 17p. For the second vibration region 17q, a resist pattern having an inverted lattice is formed so as to cover the resist pitch of 1000 nm and the area ratio of 50%. For the third vibration region 17r, an opening that exposes the entire surface of the third vibration region 17r is formed in the resist pattern.
The upper cover layer 14c is etched in a different manner for each of the first to third vibration regions 17p to 17r, so that the frequency characteristic is an intermediate between the resonator 10r with etching and the resonator 10p without etching. 10q can be produced. In addition, three types of resonators 10p to 10r having frequency characteristics (with etching, without etching, and between them) can be manufactured by one etching.
Note that the lower coating layer 14a may be etched instead of etching the upper coating layer 14c, but the higher the rate of non-defective products is, the higher the etching rate is in the subsequent process, so the upper coating layer 14c is etched more than the lower coating layer 14a. Is preferred.
If the upper cover layer 14c is formed with a uniform film thickness and then the film thickness is adjusted by etching according to the first to third vibration regions 17p to 17r, fine frequency adjustment can be easily performed.
When the upper covering layer 14c in the second vibration region 17q is formed in a lattice shape, it is easy to produce a resist pattern used for etching and to remove the resist after etching. Further, since the vibration is irregularly reflected by the unevenness formed by etching, unnecessary spurious can be reduced.
When the second vibration region 17q is etched in a lattice shape, the resist pitch is preferably λ / 2 or less. Here, λ is a wavelength defined by λ = v / f, f is a resonance frequency of the resonator, and v is an average sound speed in the vibration region. The first thickness of the second vibration region 17q is designed to be λ / 2, and when the resist pitch is larger than λ / 2, the etched portion (second portion 15b) and the non-etched portion. Since the (first portion 15a) functions as a resonator having different frequencies, the resist pitch is preferably λ / 2 or less. When the resist pitch is λ / 2 or less, unnecessary spurious can be reduced. The smaller the resist pitch, the finer the surface irregularities and the better the heat dissipation.
The upper coating layer 14c is formed with a uniform film thickness up to a second thickness (thickness of the third vibration area 17r) which is a common thickness of the vibration areas 17p to 17r, and then partial film formation is performed. May be. For example, after the film is uniformly formed to a common second thickness, the film is formed using a metal mask having openings formed in accordance with the vibration regions 17p to 17r, and the first and second vibration regions 17p and 17q are formed. The insufficient thickness is added as the first thickness. In this case, an etching process is unnecessary, and the frequency can be adjusted without increasing the number of processes.
<Modification> In order to obtain an intermediate frequency characteristic with and without etching, the upper surface 14s of the upper covering layer 14c in the vibration region 17 is formed by using the etching patterns 22 to 27 shown in the schematic diagrams of FIGS. Etching may be performed.
FIG. 3A shows an example of the vertically striped etching pattern 22. FIG. 3B is an example of the horizontal stripe etching pattern 23. The stripe is not limited to a straight line but may be a curved line.
The etching pattern 24 in FIG. 3C is an example of etching in a similar shape along the outer periphery of the vibration region 17. In this case, the etched portions and the non-etched portions are alternately arranged in a similar shape along the outer peripheral edge of the vibration region 17.
FIG. 3D shows an example of etching with a concentric etching pattern 25. In this case, the etched portions and the non-etched portions are alternately arranged concentrically. FIG. 3 (e) shows an etching pattern 26 having an inverted lattice. It can be formed by etching using a lattice-like resist pattern. FIG. 3F shows a lattice reversal pattern 27, which is an example of etching in a circular shape at equal intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions.
In FIGS. 3E and 3F, although the etching patterns are regularly arranged, the etching may be performed with scattered dot patterns scattered at random.
When the upper surface 14s of the upper covering layer 14c in the vibration region 17 is partially etched using the etching patterns 22 to 27 shown in FIGS. 3A to 3F, the formation of the resist pattern used for etching and the resist peeling after the etching are performed. Easy. In addition, since the vibration is irregularly reflected by the unevenness formed by etching, unnecessary spurious can be reduced.
Also in the example shown in FIGS. 3A to 3F, the resist pitch is preferably λ / 2 or less. Here, λ is a wavelength defined by λ = v / f, f is a resonance frequency of the resonator, and v is an average sound velocity in the vibration region 17.
Example 2 A piezoelectric device 10a according to Example 2 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the piezoelectric device 10a. As shown in FIG. 4, the piezoelectric device 10a according to the second embodiment is configured in substantially the same manner as the piezoelectric device 10 according to the first embodiment. In the following, the same reference numerals are used for the same components as in the first embodiment, and differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.
As shown in FIG. 4, as in the first embodiment, the lower coating layer 14a, the lower electrode layer 16, the piezoelectric layer 14b, the upper electrode layer 18a, and the upper coating layer 14d are sequentially laminated on the upper surface 12a of the substrate 12. Yes. The first to third vibration regions 17s to 17u in which the electrodes of the lower electrode layer 16 and the upper electrode layer 18a overlap when viewed in the stacking direction are arranged on the recess 12x formed on the upper surface 12a side of the substrate 12. Has been. In the piezoelectric device 10a, three resonators 10s to 10u including first to third vibration regions 17s to 17u are formed.
Unlike Example 1, the piezoelectric device 10a of Example 2 has the upper surface 18s of the upper electrode layer 18a etched and the upper surface 14t of the upper coating layer 14d not etched. The upper electrode layer 18a is a specific layer of the present invention. The lower coating layer 14a, the lower electrode layer 16, the piezoelectric layer 14b, and the upper coating layer 14d are common layers of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of an etching pattern on the upper surface 18s of the upper electrode layer 18a. As shown in FIG. 5, the upper surface 18s of the upper electrode layer 18a is etched with etching patterns 20a and 30a shown in black.
That is, the first vibration region 17s of the upper electrode layer 18a is not etched. The upper surface 18s of the upper electrode layer 18a in the second vibration region 17t is partially etched with a lattice-like etching pattern 20a. As shown in FIG. 4, the etching pattern 20 a may protrude outside the second vibration region 17 t. The upper surface 18s of the upper electrode layer 18a in the third vibration region 17u is etched as a whole with an etching pattern 30a covering the entire surface of the third vibration region 17u. As shown in FIG. 4, the etching pattern 30 a may protrude outside the third vibration region 17 u.
As shown in FIG. 4, the upper electrode layer 18a remains at its original film thickness (first thickness) in the first vibration region 17s. Further, in the second vibration region 17t, a first portion 19a that is partially thinned and has the original film thickness, and a second portion 19b that has a thickness (second thickness) smaller than the original film thickness are provided. Including. Further, in the third vibration region 17u, only the second portion 19c is made thin as a whole and has a thickness (second thickness) smaller than the original film thickness.
The resonators 10s to 10u have the same configuration except for the upper electrode layer 18a . Since the resonators 10s to 10u have different mass loads due to the upper electrode layer 18a in the first to third vibration regions 17s to 17u, their frequency characteristics are different.
Instead of etching the upper electrode layer 18a, the upper surface of the lower electrode layer 16 may be etched. However, since the non-defective rate increases as the etching is performed in a later step, the upper electrode layer is higher than the upper surface of the lower electrode layer 16. It is preferable to etch the upper surface 18s of the layer 18a.
By etching the upper surface 18s of the upper electrode layer 18a in a different manner for each of the first to third vibration regions 17s to 17u, the frequency characteristic becomes intermediate between the resonator 10u with etching and the resonator 10s without etching. The resonator 10t can be manufactured. In addition, three types of resonators 10s to 10u having frequency characteristics (with etching, without etching, and between them) can be manufactured by one etching.
If the upper electrode layer 18a is formed with a uniform film thickness and then the film thickness is adjusted by etching according to the first to third vibration regions 17s to 17u, fine frequency adjustment can be easily performed.
When the upper surface 18s of the upper electrode layer 18a in the second vibration region 17t is formed in a lattice shape, it is easy to produce a resist pattern used for etching and to remove the resist after etching. Further, since the vibration is irregularly reflected by the unevenness formed by etching, unnecessary spurious can be reduced.
When the upper surface 18s of the upper electrode layer 18a of the second vibration region 17t is etched in a lattice shape, the resist pitch is preferably λ / 2 or less. Here, λ is a wavelength defined by λ = v / f, f is a resonance frequency of the resonator, and v is an average sound speed in the vibration region. The first thickness of the second vibration region 17t is designed to be λ / 2, and when the resist pitch is larger than λ / 2, the etched second portion 19b and the unetched first portion 19a. Function as resonators having different frequencies, so that the resist pitch is preferably λ / 2 or less. When the resist pitch is λ / 2 or less, unnecessary spurious can be reduced. The smaller the resist pitch, the better the adhesion with the upper coating layer 14d.
The upper electrode layer 18a is formed with a uniform film thickness up to a second thickness (thickness of the third vibration area 17u) that is a common thickness of the vibration areas 17s to 17u, and then partial film formation is performed. May be. For example, after the film is uniformly formed to the common second thickness, the film is formed using a metal mask having openings corresponding to the first to third vibration regions 17s to 17u, and the first and second films are formed. The insufficient thickness is added to the vibration regions 17s and 17t to obtain the first thickness. In this case, an etching process is unnecessary, and the frequency can be adjusted without increasing the number of processes.
Example 3 A piezoelectric device 10b of Example 3 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 6 is an electric circuit diagram of the piezoelectric device. As shown in FIG. 6, the piezoelectric device 10 b according to the third embodiment includes series arm resonators 42, 44, 46 and parallel arm resonators 50, 52, 54, 56 between the input terminal 40 and the output terminal 48. It is a filter combined in a ladder shape.
The numerical value (%) shown in FIG. 6 indicates the upper surface or upper portion of the upper covering layer in the vibration region of each resonator 42, 44, 46, 50, 52, 54, 56, as in the first or second embodiment. The area ratio which etches the upper surface of an electrode layer is shown. The lower covering layer or the lower electrode layer may be etched.
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of an etching pattern. As shown in FIG. 7, when etching is performed in a lattice shape, the pitch of the lattice is the same, and the line width is changed according to the area ratio. FIG. 7A shows an etching pattern 21a having an etching area ratio of 20%. FIG. 7B shows an etching pattern 21b having an area ratio to be etched of 50%. FIG. 7C shows an etching pattern 21c with an area ratio to be etched of 80%.
In the piezoelectric device 10b, the upper surface of the upper covering layer or the upper surface of the upper electrode layer is etched at a different area ratio for each vibration region of the resonators 42, 44, 46, 50, 52, 54, and 56. The frequencies of the children 42, 44, 46, 50, 52, 54, 56 can be adjusted simultaneously.
<Summary> As described above, a piezoelectric device including three or more types of resonators having different resonance frequencies can be manufactured by a simple process.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be implemented with various modifications.
For example, it is good also as a structure without a lower coating layer or an upper coating layer.
Also, instead of providing a recess in the substrate, each layer is formed after the sacrificial layer is formed on the substrate, the sacrificial layer is removed, and the vibration region is lifted off the substrate, so that the vibration region is acoustically removed from the substrate. It may be separated. Alternatively, an acoustic reflection layer in which layers having a relatively low acoustic impedance and layers having a relatively high acoustic impedance are alternately stacked is provided between the substrate and the vibration region, and the vibration region is acoustically separated from the substrate. It may be separated.
The piezoelectric device includes both the resonator in which the specific layer in the vibration region includes only the first portion and the resonator in which the specific layer in the vibration region includes only the second portion. Even in a configuration in which one of the resonators and the specific layer in the vibration region include the resonator including both the first portion and the second portion, the specific layer in the vibration region includes both the first portion and the second portion. It is good also as a structure containing only the several resonator containing.
