Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3 (PZT) is an interesting material for bulk acoustic wave resonator applications due to its high electromechanical coupling constant, which would enable fabrication of large bandwidth frequency filters. The major challenge of the PZT solid solu ...
Radio frequency (RF) filters based on bulk acoustic wave resonances in piezoelectric thin films have become indispensable components in mobile communications. The currently used material, AlN, exhibits many excellent properties for this purpose. However, i ...
Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonators (TFBARs) had been developed a decade ago and since then were implemented extensively in mobile communications devices. The "heart" of a TFBAR consists of a piezoelectric film that operates as an acousto-electric tran ...
This paper reports on the microfabrication and characterization of piezoelectric MEMS structures based on epitaxial Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O-3 (PZT) thin films grown on silicon wafers. Membranes and cantilevers are realized using a sequence of microfabrication proc ...
The development of wireless and mobile communication in the last decade led to the elaboration of new components based on thin films with continually increasing performance and reduced fabrication cost. A fundamental element for mobile communication is the ...
This paper presents the electrical design and characterization of a wafer-level, or 0-level, package for micro-electromechanical resonators. We start by identifying the requirements on the electrical parasitics of a packaged resonator, derived from an anal ...

A novel concept for shear mode Bulk Acoustic Resonators (BAR) is presented. It is based on c-axis oriented AlN thin films grown on silicon dioxide thin films, combined with interdigitated electrodes. Such a structure leads to an excitation of mainly shear ...

This paper presents an in-depth study of the design, modelling, circuit parameter extraction and characterization of a distributed MEMS digital microwave phase shifter. Bridge-type digital capacitors periodically loaded on a 5 mm CPW (with an actuation vol ...
High-Q, bulk acoustic wave composite resonators based on a symmetric layer sequence Of SiO2-A1N-SiO2 sandwiched between electrodes have been developed. Acoustic isolation was achieved by means of deep silicon etching to obtain membrane type TFBAR's. Three ...
