Solidly Mounted Longitudinally Excited Shear Wave Resonator (YBAR) Based on Lithium Niobate Thin-Film

This paper proposed a solid-mounted (SM) longitudinally excited shear wave resonator (i.e., YBAR). By adopting a 200 nm x-cut LiNbO<sub>3</sub> film, top (aluminum) and bottom (platinum) electrodes in 50 nm thickness and 500 nm width, this resonator simultaneously achieves an operating f...

description This paper proposed a solid-mounted (SM) longitudinally excited shear wave resonator (i.e., YBAR). By adopting a 200 nm x-cut LiNbO<sub>3</sub> film, top (aluminum) and bottom (platinum) electrodes in 50 nm thickness and 500 nm width, this resonator simultaneously achieves an operating frequency over 5 GHz with an electromechanical coupling coefficient exceeding 50%. Compared with previously proposed YBAR with suspended structure, the proposed SM-YBAR can effectively suppress unwanted spurious modes with only a slight loss of the electromechanical coupling coefficient. The SM-YABR also provides better device stability, possible low-temperature drift coefficient, and a more convenient and mature device processing. It has the potential to meet the multiple requirements for the next generation signal processing devices in terms of high frequency, large bandwidth, stability, and low cost, etc.
