GRADIENT RAISED FRAMES IN FILM BULK ACOUSTIC RESONATORS

Abstract:

Gradient raised frames in film bulk acoustic resonators. In some embodiments, a film bulk acoustic resonator device can include a substrate, first and second metal layers implemented over the substrate, a piezoelectric layer between the first and second metal layers, and a gradient raised frame implemented relative to one of the first and second metal layers and configured to improve reflection of lateral mode waves and to reduce conversion of main mode waves into lateral mode waves.
