Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This present disclosure claims the priority to Chinese patent application No. 202210027314.5, entitled “Single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator, manufacturing method for single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator, and filter”, and filed on Jan. 11, 2022 in China, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of filters, in particular to a single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator, a manufacturing method for a single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator, and a filter.

BACKGROUND

A film bulk acoustic resonator generates resonance by using a piezoelectric effect of a piezoelectric crystal. Since the resonance is generated by a mechanical wave, rather than taking an electromagnetic wave as a source, the wavelength of the mechanical wave is much shorter than that of electromagnetic wave. Therefore, the size of the film bulk acoustic resonator is greatly reduced compared with the size of a conventional electromagnetic filter. In one aspect, the crystal orientation growth of the piezoelectric crystal can be well controlled at present, so the loss of the resonator is extremely low, the quality factor is high, which can meet the complex design requirements such as steep transition band, low insertion loss, and the like. Since the film bulk acoustic resonator has the characteristics of small size, high roll-off, low insertion loss, and the like, filters based on this core have been widely used in communication systems.

The existing single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator will adopt a bonding process during manufacturing. However, in the actual bonding process, it is difficult to effectively control the bonding area, which is easy to reduce the bonding reliability.

In an aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a manufacturing method for a single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps.

At S010: a temporary base substrate is provided.

As shown in FIG. 2, a temporary base substrate 101 may be a substrate for carrying semiconductor integrated circuit components, such as a Si base substrate and a sapphire base substrate.

At S020: a buffer layer, a piezoelectric layer, and a first electrode that are stacked are formed on the temporary base substrate sequentially.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a buffer layer 102, a piezoelectric layer 103, and a first electrode 204 that are stacked are sequentially formed on the temporary base substrate 101. The buffer layer 102 can improve the deposition quality of the piezoelectric layer 103. In some embodiments, the buffer layer 102 may be made of silicon nitride. The piezoelectric layer 103 may be made of one of AlN, ScAlN, ZnO, PZT, LiNbO₃ and LiTaO₃.

At S030: a first bonding layer is formed on the first electrode.

As shown in FIG. 4, after the first electrode 204 is formed, a first bonding layer is continued to be formed on the first electrode 204. At this moment, a hierarchical structure, located on the temporary base substrate 101, of a single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator 1002 is formed.

At S040: a substrate is provided.

As shown in FIG. 5, a substrate 401 is provided. The substrate 401 may also be a substrate for carrying semiconductor integrated circuit components, such as a Si substrate 401 and a sapphire substrate 401.

At S050: the substrate is etched to form a plurality of first bumps on a surface of the substrate.

As shown in FIG. 5, the surface of the substrate 401 is etched, so as to form a plurality of bumps on one side surface of the substrate 401. Meanwhile, an etched groove 406 sunken into the substrate 401 is synchronously formed between two adjacent first bumps. Thus, the area of the top surface of the first bump is controlled by controlling the size of the etched groove 406. As shown in FIG. 5, six bumps and five etched grooves 406 are formed on the surface of the substrate 401.

It is to be understood that a method for etching the substrate 401 to form the first bumps and the etched grooves 406 may be a method of etching through a mask. For example, a whole layer of dielectric layer may be deposited on the surface of substrate 401, the dielectric layer is coated with a photoresist layer, and the dielectric layer may be patterned by the processes such as exposure, development, and etching. Then, the exposed substrate 401 may be etched to form the etched grooves 406 while correspondingly forming the first bumps at the same time. For another example, the surface of the substrate 401 may be directly coated with the photoresist layer, and the photoresist layer may be patterned through the processes such as exposure and development. Then, the exposed substrate 401 may be etched to form the etched groove 406 while correspondingly forming the first bumps at the same time.

At S060: a second bonding layer covering top surfaces of the plurality of first bumps is formed on the surface of the substrate.

As shown in FIG. 6, a second bonding layer 507 is deposited on the surface of the etched substrate 401. The second bonding layer 507 at least covers the top surface of each first bump. At this moment, a hierarchical structure, located on the substrate 401, of the single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator 1002 is formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a whole layer of second bonding layer 507 is deposited on the surface of the etched substrate 401, that is, the second bonding layer 507 covers the top surfaces and the side surfaces of the first bumps and the bottom surfaces of the etched grooves 406. For another example, a whole layer of second bonding layer 507 may also be deposited on the surface of the etched substrate 401. The second bonding layer 507 located on the top surfaces of the first bumps is only remained by etching.

S070: the second bonding layer located at the top surfaces of the plurality of first bumps is bonded to the first bonding layer.

As shown in FIG. 7, a hierarchical structure located on the substrate 401 and a hierarchical structure located on the temporary base substrate 101 are bonded. Specifically, the second bonding layer 507 located at the top surfaces of the plurality of first bumps is bonded to the first bonding layer, so that the hierarchical structure on the temporary base substrate 101 is transferred to the substrate 401.

During bonding, the area of the top surface of the first bump may be controlled by the etched groove 406, so that the area of the second bonding layer 507 located at the top surface of the first bump can be controlled, thereby controlling the bonding area. Through the flexible adjustment of the bonding area, a hierarchical structure on the temporary base substrate 101 and a hierarchical structure on the substrate 401 are prevented from being difficult to apply in mass production due to excessive bonding area, high bonding requirement, and high preparation cost on the basis of meeting the requirements of the bonding reliability. In other words, the present disclosure realizes the balance between the bonding requirement and the bonding reliability by controlling the bonding area.

At S080: the temporary base substrate is removed.

As shown in FIG. 8, after the hierarchical structure located on the temporary base substrate 101 and the hierarchical structure located on the substrate 401 are bonded. The temporary base substrate 101 may be removed by etching, so that the hierarchical structure on the temporary base substrate 101 is transferred to the base 401. At this moment, one side surface, deviating from the substrate 401, of the buffer layer 102 is exposed.

At S090: the buffer layer is etched to form a first groove that exposes the piezoelectric layer.

As shown in FIG. 9, a first groove 809 is formed on the buffer layer 102 by etching the buffer layer 102, so that the piezoelectric layer 103 is exposed from the first groove 809.

S100: a second electrode that is in contact with the piezoelectric layer is formed through the first groove.

As shown in FIG. 10, a second electrode 910 is deposited through the first groove 809, so that at least part of the second electrode 910 is in contact with the surface of the exposed piezoelectric layer 103. Therefore, the second electrode 910, the piezoelectric layer 103, and the first electrode 204 form basic functional layers of a resonator.

Optionally, after the first bonding layer is formed on the first electrode 204 through S030, the method further includes that: as shown in FIG. 4, the first bonding layer is patterned to form a plurality of second bumps 305 first. It is to be understood that the plurality of bumps 305 are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first bumps up and down. Then, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, when the first bonding layer is bonded to the second bonding layer 507, the second bonding layer 507 located on the top surfaces of the first bumps is aligned and bonded to the top surfaces of the second bumps 305.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, after the temporary base substrate 101 is removed, the method further includes that: the buffer layer 102 and the piezoelectric layer 103 are etched sequentially to expose a second groove 808 of the first electrode 204. An extraction electrode 911 is deposited through the second groove 808, so that at least part of the extraction electrode 911 is connected to the exposed first electrode 204. Thus, the first electrode 204 is led to one side, deviating from the substrate 401, of the buffer layer 102, so as to facilitate connecting a line thereto. It is to be understood that there is a certain gap between the extraction electrode 911 and the second electrode 910, so as to ensure the insulation there between.

In some implementation modes, the extraction electrode 911 and the second electrode may be formed at one step. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, a whole layer of conductive layer is deposited on one side surface, deviating from the substrate 401, of the buffer layer 102, that is, the conductive layer covers the surface of the buffer layer 102, the first groove 809, and the second groove 808, and then the conductive layer is disconnected between the first groove 809 and the second groove slot 808 by etching to form two independent parts. One part is formed as the first electrode 204 and the other part is used as the extraction electrode 911.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of first bumps include a first sub-bump and a second sub-bump. A third groove 912 corresponding to the position of the first groove 809 is formed between the first sub-bump and the second sub-bump. In other words, the third groove 912 may serve as an air cavity structure of the resonator, so that the orthographic projections of the first electrode 204, the second electrode 910 that is located in the first groove 809 and is in contact with the piezoelectric layer 103, and the third groove 912 on the substrate 401 have an overlapping area. The overlapping area is an effective operating area of the resonator.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 13, both the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer 507 are metal layers, such as a gold layer. Since both the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer 507 are metal layers, the parasitic capacitance of the part can be effectively avoided, and the performance of a device can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, a sacrificial layer 205 is deposited on the first electrode 204, and a support layer 206 and a first bonding layer 307 are deposited on the first electrode 204 and the sacrificial layer 205. The sacrificial layer 205 is made of SiO₂, polycrystalline silicon, or other materials. As an example, when the SiO₂ is used as a sacrificial material, VHF is generally used for removing the sacrificial layer. The support layer is made of a material with low reactivity with VHF, such as SiNx, so as to prevent structural damage caused by the damage of the support layer.

As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 15, the compressed height of the first bonding layer 307 and the second bonding layer 507 after being bonded is not greater than the height of the first bump. The bonding pressure applied to the first bonding layer 307 and the second bonding layer 507 is positively related to the area of the top surface of the first bump. First, the height of the first bump is controlled to be not less than the compressed height of the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer during bonding. During bonding, only the second bonding layer on the bumps may be in contact with the first bonding layer, and at this moment, the bonding pressure is positively related to the area of the top surface of the first bump. The bonding pressure can be controlled within an appropriate pressure range by setting the area of the first bump within the appropriate range.

As shown in FIG. 16, FIG. 17, FIG. 18, FIG. 19, FIG. 20, and FIG. 21, a compressed height of the first bonding layer 307 and the second bonding layer 507 after being bonded is equal to a height of the first bump. The second bonding layer 507 located at the top surfaces of the plurality of first bumps is bonded to the first bonding layer 307. Since the height of the first bump is equal to the compressed height of the first bonding layer 307 during bonding, after the bonding is ended, the third groove 912 is just filled with the material of the first bonding layer 307, approximately realizing the overall global bonding effect of the first bonding layer 307 and the second bonding layer 507. Generally, during bonding, the bonding pressure is positively related to the bonding area. The overall global bonding requires that the bonding pressure of a bonding machine is high, and the requirements for the bonding machine are high. By the method of the present disclosure, the abovementioned purpose can be achieved in a case of a low bonding pressure, which enhances the bonding stability and is beneficial to subsequent process, particularly, the etching of the first groove 809 and the second groove 808.

A release hole is formed in the substrate 401, and the sacrificial layer is removed through the release hole to form a cavity.

The substrate 401 is aligned with the temporary base substrate 101, and then is bonded in a vacuum environment at 260° C. to 400° C. By controlling the height of the first bump to be equal to the compressed height during bonding, after the bonding is ended, the third groove 907 is just filled by gold, so as to achieve an overall bonding effect. In this way, since there is cavity structure in the device, a laminated structure below the third groove 907 is directly supported by the filled first bonding layer 307. When the temporary base substrate 101 is etched, the device will not deform due to pressure difference between the third groove 907 and the external environment, which avoids the deterioration of the device performance that may be caused by deformation. In addition, the etched parts of the first groove 809 and the second groove 808 are also be supported by the first bonding layer in the grooves, so a cracking phenomenon during etching can be avoided, thereby improving the quality of etching.

In another aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator 1002 is provided, which includes single crystal film bulk acoustic resonators 1002 prepared by any of the abovementioned manufacturing method for a single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator 1002. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator 1002 includes a substrate 401. The substrate 401 has a plurality of first bumps. A second bonding layer 507 covering top surfaces of a plurality of first bumps is formed on the surface of the substrate 401. A first bonding layer is bonded on the second bonding layer 507. A first electrode 204, a piezoelectric layer 103, and a buffer layer 102 that are stacked are sequentially formed on the first bonding layer. A first groove 809 that exposes the piezoelectric layer 103 is formed in the buffer layer 102. A second electrode 910 that is in contact with the piezoelectric layer 103 is formed on the first groove 809.

During bonding, the area of the top surface of the first bump may be controlled by the etched groove 406, so that the area of the second bonding layer 507 located at the top surface of the first bump can be controlled, thereby controlling the bonding area. Through the flexible adjustment of the bonding area, a hierarchical structure on the temporary base substrate 101 and a hierarchical structure on the substrate 401 are prevented from being difficult to apply in mass production due to excessive bonding area, high bonding requirement, and high preparation cost on the basis of meeting the requirements of the bonding reliability. In other words, the present disclosure realizes the balance between the bonding requirement and the bonding reliability by controlling the bonding area.

Optionally, both the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer 507 are metal layers, for example, gold layers. Since both the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer 507 are metal layers, the parasitic capacitance of the part can be effectively avoided, and the performance of a device can be improved. Of course, the first bonding layer 307 and the second bonding layer 507 may also be made of the same material.

In yet another aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a filter is provided, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 22, which includes a plurality of single crystal film bulk acoustic resonators of any one of the above 1002. The plurality of single crystal film bulk acoustic resonators 1002 share a same substrate 401. The plurality of single crystal film bulk acoustic resonators 1002 are connected in series and/or in parallel. A first annular sealing structure 1003 surrounding the plurality of single crystal film bulk acoustic resonators 1002 is formed on the substrate 401. The first annular sealing structure includes a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring that are stacked on the substrate 401 and are bonded mutually. Thus, a circle of bonding area may be formed on the periphery of the filter to serve as a sealing ring, which can effectively prevent impurities from entering a silicon wafer, and improves the reliability of the process.

In some implementation modes, the first sealing ring and the foregoing second bonding layer 507 may be formed at the same step (a reference conductive layer including an extraction electrode 911 and a second electrode 910). Similarly, the second sealing ring and the foregoing first bonding layer may be formed at the same step (the reference conductive layer including the extraction electrode 911 and the second electrode 910).

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 12, in order to further improve the sealing effect, a second annular sealing structure 1103 may also be formed on the periphery of each single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator 1002. The second annular sealing structure 1103 includes a third sealing ring and a fourth sealing ring that are stacked on the substrate 401 and are bonded mutually.

In some implementation modes, the first sealing ring and the third sealing ring may be formed at single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator step. Similarly, the second sealing ring and the fourth sealing ring may be formed at single crystal film bulk acoustic resonator step.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 12, in order to further improve the sealing effect, the filter further includes a sealing wall structure 1104. Two adjacent second annular sealing structures 1103 are connected through the sealing wall structure 1104. The sealing wall structure 1104 includes a fifth sealing ring and a sixth sealing ring that are stacked on the substrate 401 and are bonded mutually.

Referring to FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, a common method for controlling the bonding area is to directly pattern the bonding layer. The bonding layer is made of Au. The purpose of controlling the bonding area is achieved by controlling the area of Au. However, Au is generally realized through a Lift-off process. When the bonding area is required to be small, an excessive lift-off or incomplete lift-off phenomenon of Au is easily caused, as shown in FIG. 23(a), which causes a phenomenon of poor bonding, as shown in FIG. 23(b). According to the present disclosure, the area of the first bump is controlled through an etched groove, a small-area Au lift-off process is avoided, and an uniform or flat Au surface can be obtained, so as to improve the bonding quality, as shown in FIG. 24.

As shown in FIG. 25, a side wall of the sealing wall structure 1104 forms an inclination angle. Deep reaction ion etching is adopted, and C4F8 gas and SF6 gas are alternately introduced into the reaction chamber. The C4F8 gas is introduced, so that a polymer film may be formed on a surface of a silicon side wall, thereby achieving a purpose of passivating. The SF6 gas is introduced to perform physical and chemical etching. The C4F8 gas and the SF6 gas are alternately introduced to perform passivating and etching alternately, so that the inclination angle θ of the side wall of a protective wall 111 is controlled. The smaller the inclination angle θ is, the higher the stability of the device. In order to ensure the stability of the device, the inclination angle θ is less than 70°.

In some implementation modes, the first sealing ring and the fifth sealing ring may be formed at the same step. Similarly, the second sealing ring and the sixth sealing ring may be formed at the same step.

The above is only the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, the present disclosure may have various changes and variations. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
