Novel bulk acoustic-wave high-Q resonators and acoustically coupled resonator filters have been fabricated and operated at their fundamental half-wavelength mode in the 200-500-MHz frequency range. These structures are fabricated on thin ZnO/silicon diaphragms with dimensions small enough to be incorporated within integrated circuits. Resonator Q’s near 2600 at the fundamental mode have been obtained and strong inter-resonator acoustic coupling has been achieved yielding filters having insertion loss (untuned) as low as 5.5 dB.
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.
