SOLIDLY-MOUNTED TRANSVERSELY-EXCITED BULK ACOUSTIC RESONATOR SPLIT LADDER FILTER

Abstract:

Filter devices. A first chip includes a first base, a first piezoelectric membrane having a first thickness, and a first acoustic Bragg reflector sandwiched between the first piezoelectric membrane and the first base. A first interdigital transducer (IDT) of a first solidly-mounted membrane resonator is formed on a surface of the first piezoelectric membrane. A second chip includes a second base, a second piezoelectric membrane having a second thickness less than the first thickness, and a second acoustic Bragg reflector sandwiched between the second piezoelectric membrane and the second base. A second IDT of a second solidly-mounted membrane resonator is formed on a surface of the second piezoelectric membrane. A circuit card is coupled to the first chip and the second chip, the circuit card including at least one conductor for making an electrical connection between the first IDT and the second IDT.
