(2.2) Structure of High-Frequency Module

Hereinafter, a structure of the high-frequency module 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.


(2.2.1) Mounting Substrate

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the mounting substrate 9 has a first main surface 91 and a second main surface 92 facing each other in a thickness direction D0 of the mounting substrate 9. Here, “facing” means facing geometrically rather than physically. In a plan view from the thickness direction D0 of the mounting substrate 9, the outer edge of the mounting substrate 9 has, for example, a quadrangular shape. Further, the mounting substrate 9 has an outer peripheral surface. The outer peripheral surface of the mounting substrate 9 includes, for example, four side surfaces that connect an outer edge of the first main surface 91 and an outer edge of the second main surface 92 of the mounting substrate 9 to each other, and does not include the first main surface 91 and the second main surface 92. That is, the mounting substrate 9 is a multilayer substrate including a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of conductive layers. The plurality of dielectric layers and the plurality of conductive layers are laminated in the thickness direction D0 of the mounting substrate 9. The plurality of conductive layers are formed in a predetermined pattern determined for each layer. Each of the plurality of conductive layers includes one or a plurality of conductor portions in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction D0 of the mounting substrate 9. A material of each conductive layer is, for example, copper. The plurality of conductive layers include a ground layer. In the high-frequency module 100, the ground layer of the mounting substrate 9 and the external ground terminal included in the plurality of external connection terminals 6 are electrically connected to each other with a via conductor or the like of the mounting substrate 9 interposed therebetween. The mounting substrate 9 is, for example, a low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) substrate. The mounting substrate is not limited to the LTCC substrate, and may be, for example, a printed wiring board, a high temperature co-fired ceramics (HTCC) substrate, or a resin multilayer substrate.


Further, the mounting substrate 9 is not limited to the LTCC substrate, and may be, for example, a wiring structure. The wiring structure is, for example, a multilayer structure. The multilayer structure includes at least one insulating layer and at least one conductive layer. The insulating layer is formed in a predetermined pattern. In a case where a plurality of insulating layers are provided, the plurality of insulating layers are formed in a predetermined pattern determined for each layer. The conductive layer is formed in one or more predetermined patterns different from the predetermined pattern of the insulating layer. In a case where a plurality of conductive layers are provided, the plurality of conductive layers are formed in one or more predetermined pattern determined for each layer. The conductive layer may include one or a plurality of rewiring portions. In the wiring structure, a first surface of two surfaces facing each other in the thickness direction of the multilayer structure is the first main surface 91 of the mounting substrate 9, and a second surface is the second main surface 92 of the mounting substrate 9. The wiring structure may be, for example, an interposer. The interposer may be an interposer using a silicon substrate or may be a substrate having multiple layers.


The first main surface 91 and the second main surface 92 of the mounting substrate 9 are separated from each other in the thickness direction D0 of the mounting substrate 9, and intersect the thickness direction D0 of the mounting substrate 9. The first main surface 91 of the mounting substrate 9 is, for example, perpendicular to the thickness direction D0 of the mounting substrate 9, and may include, for example, a side surface or the like of a conductor portion as a surface that is not perpendicular to the thickness direction D0. In addition, for example, the second main surface 92 of the mounting substrate 9 is perpendicular to the thickness direction D0 of the mounting substrate 9, but may include, for example, a side surface of the conductor portion or the like, as a surface that is not perpendicular to the thickness direction D0. Further, the first main surface 91 and the second main surface 92 of the mounting substrate 9 may be formed with fine unevenness, a recess portion, or a projection portion. For example, when a recess portion is formed on the first main surface 91 of the mounting substrate 9, the inner surface of the recess portion is included in the first main surface 91.


(2.2.2) First Chip

As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first chip 4 is disposed on the first main surface 91 of the mounting substrate 9. The expression “the first chip 4 is disposed on the first main surface 91 of the mounting substrate 9” includes that the first chip 4 is mounted (mechanically connected) on the first main surface 91 of the mounting substrate 9 and that the first chip 4 is electrically connected to the mounting substrate 9 (an appropriate conductor portion thereof). The first chip 4 has a plurality of (for example, eight) first terminal electrodes T1 connected to the mounting substrate 9 and a plurality of (for example, four) second terminal electrodes T2 connected to the second chip 5. The eight first terminal electrodes T1 include, for example, a first input/output terminal 15 (see FIG. 4A), a second input/output terminal 16 (see FIG. 4A), a first ground terminal 17 (see FIG. 4A), and a first connection terminal 18 (see FIG. 4A) of the first filter 1. In addition, the eight first terminal electrodes T1 include a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal that are connected to the third input/output terminal 25, the fourth input/output terminal 26, and the second ground terminal 27 of the second filter 2, respectively. The first connection terminal 18 is a terminal to which one end of the first inductor L1 is connected. The other end of the first inductor L1 is connected to the first ground with a terminal 19 (see FIG. 4A) interposed therebetween. In the first chip 4, the eight first terminal electrodes T1 are joined to corresponding eight conductor portions 96 (see FIG. 1) of the plurality of conductor portions of the mounting substrate 9 by a joining portion 180. The material of the joining portion 180 is, for example, a solder.


In a plan view from the thickness direction D0 of the mounting substrate 9, an outer edge 40 of the first chip 4 has, for example, a quadrangular shape. The first chip 4 has a plurality of (eight) first acoustic wave resonators 14 of the first filter 1. The first filter 1 is a surface acoustic wave filter that uses surface acoustic waves. The first chip 4 includes a first substrate 45 and a plurality of first functional electrodes 140 that are provided on the first substrate 45 and that each form a part of the plurality of first acoustic wave resonators 14. In the high-frequency module 100, each of the plurality of first functional electrodes 140 is an interdigital transducer (IDT) electrode. Therefore, each of the plurality of first acoustic wave resonators 14 is a surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator.


The first substrate 45 includes a first piezoelectric layer 48 and a first high acoustic velocity member 46. The first high acoustic velocity member 46 is a high acoustic velocity support substrate located on a side opposite to the first functional electrode 140 with the first piezoelectric layer 48 interposed therebetween. In the first high acoustic velocity member 46, an acoustic velocity of a bulk wave propagating through the first high acoustic velocity member 46 is faster than an acoustic velocity of an acoustic wave propagating through the first piezoelectric layer 48. In this case, the bulk wave propagating through the first high acoustic velocity member 46 is a bulk wave having the lowest acoustic velocity among the plurality of bulk waves propagating through the first high acoustic velocity member 46. The first substrate 45 further includes a first low acoustic velocity film 47 interposed between the first high acoustic velocity member 46 and the first piezoelectric layer 48. The first low acoustic velocity film 47 is a film in which the acoustic velocity of the bulk wave propagating through the first low acoustic velocity film 47 is slower than the acoustic velocity of the bulk wave propagating through the first piezoelectric layer 48.


The material of the first piezoelectric layer 48 includes, for example, lithium tantalate or lithium niobate.


The material of the first high acoustic velocity member 46 includes, for example, at least one material selected from the group consisting of silicon, aluminum nitride, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, sapphire, lithium tantalate, lithium niobate, crystal, alumina, zirconia, cordierite, mullite, steatite, forsterite, magnesia, and diamond. The first high acoustic velocity member 46 is, for example, a silicon substrate.


The material of the first low acoustic velocity film 47 includes, for example, silicon oxide. The material of the first low acoustic velocity film 47 is not limited to silicon oxide. The material of the first low acoustic velocity film 47 may be, for example, glass, silicon oxynitride, tantalum oxide, a compound in which fluorine, carbon, or boron is added to silicon oxide, or a material having each of the above materials as a main component.


In the first chip 4, the first substrate 45 has a first main surface 451 and a second main surface 452. In the first chip 4, a plurality of first functional electrodes 140 are disposed on a first main surface 451 of the first substrate 45. In the first chip 4, a plurality of first terminal electrodes T1 are disposed on the second main surface 452 of the first substrate 45. That is, in the first chip 4, the first input/output terminal 15 (see FIG. 4A), the second input/output terminal 16 (see FIG. 4A), the first ground terminal 17 (see FIG. 4A), and the first connection terminal 18 (see FIG. 4A) of the first filter 1 are disposed on the second main surface 452 of the first substrate 45. In addition, in the first chip 4, a first terminal connected to the third input/output terminal 25 of the second filter 2, a second terminal connected to the fourth input/output terminal 26, and a third terminal connected to the second ground terminal 27 are disposed on the second main surface 452 of the first substrate 45.


The first chip 4 has a plurality of through-wiring portions 49. The plurality of through-wiring portions 49 include a first through-wiring portion, a second through-wiring portion, a first ground through-wiring portion, and a first connection through-wiring portion.

Therefore, each of the plurality of second acoustic wave resonators 24 is a SAW resonator.


The second substrate 55 includes a second piezoelectric layer 58 and a second high acoustic velocity member 56. The second high acoustic velocity member 56 is a high acoustic velocity support substrate located on a side opposite to the second functional electrode 240 with the second piezoelectric layer 58 interposed therebetween.
