Title: | Combination of e-beam lithography and of high velocity AlN/diamond-layered structure for SAW filters in X band | Authors: | Kirsch, Philippe Assouar, Mohamed B. Elmazria, O. El Hakiki, M. MORTET, Vincent Alnot, Patrick |
Issue Date: | 2007 | Publisher: | IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC | Source: | IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ULTRASONICS FERROELECTRICS AND FREQUENCY CONTROL, 54(7). p. 1486-1491 | Abstract: | In this work, we report on the fabrication results of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices operating at frequencies up to 8 GHz. In previous work, we have shown that high acoustic velocities (9 to 12 km/s) are obtained from the layered AIN/diamond structure. The interdigital transducers (IDTs) made of aluminium with resolutions up to 250 nm were successfully patterned on AIN/diamond-layered structures with an adapted technological process. The uniformity and periodicity of IDTs were confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy analyses. A highly oriented (002) piezoelectric aluminum nitride thin film was deposited on the nucleation side of the CVD diamond by magnetron sputtering technique. The X-ray diffraction effectuated on the AIN/diamond-layered structure exhibits high intensity peaks related to the (002) AIN and (111) diamond orientations. According to the calculated dispersion curves of velocity and the electromechanical coupling coefficient (K-2), the AIN layer thickness was chosen in order to combine high velocity and high K-2. Experimental data extracted from the fabricated SAW devices match with theoretical values quite well. | Notes: | Nancy Univ, LPMIA, Lab Phys Milieux Ionises & Applicat, CNRS, Nancy, France.
