We have investigated the temperature dependence of surface acoustic wave (SAW) delay time on AlN films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MO–CVD) on the basal plane of sapphire (Al2O3). The temperature coefficient of delay for AlN/Al2O3 structures for SAW propagation along the [11̄00] Al2O3 direction decreased with increasing k
H, where k is the wave number and H is the thickness of AlN films. We have succeeded in realizing zero temperature coefficient SAW delay lines at a certain value of k
H.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
