SMALL TRANSVERSELY-EXCITED FILM BULK ACOUSTIC RESONATORS WITH ENHANCED Q-FACTOR

Abstract:

An acoustic resonator device includes a conductor pattern formed on a surface of a piezoelectric plate. The conductor pattern includes a first busbar, a second busbar, and n interleaved parallel fingers of an interdigital transducer (IDT), where n is a positive integer. The fingers extend alternately from the first and second busbars. A first finger and an n'th finger are disposed at opposing ends of the IDT. The conductor pattern also includes a first reflector element proximate and parallel to the first finger and a second reflector element proximate and parallel to the n'th finger. When an RF signal is applied between the first and second busbars, the first reflector element is at substantially the same potential as the first finger and the second reflector element is at substantially the same potential as the n'th finger.
