Acoustic Wave Guide Device And Method For Minimizing Trimming Effects And Piston Mode Instabilities

US Patent:
8294331, Oct 23, 2012
Filed:
Mar 7, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/041653
Inventors:
Benjamin P. Abbott - Maitland FL, US
Robert Aigner - Ocoee FL, US
Alan S. Chen - Windermere FL, US
Julien Gratier - Watertown MA, US
Taeho Kook - Orlando FL, US
Marc Solal - Longwood FL, US
Kurt G. Steiner - Orlando FL, US
Assignee:
TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. - Hillsboro OR
International Classification:
H03H 9/25, H01L 41/22
US Classification:
310313B, 310313 C, 29 2535
Abstract:
An acoustic wave device operable as a piston mode wave guide includes electrodes forming an interdigital transducer on a surface of the piezoelectric substrate, wherein each of the plurality of electrodes is defined as having a transversely extending center region and transversely opposing edge regions for guiding an acoustic wave longitudinally through the transducer. A Silicon Oxide overcoat covers the transducer and a Silicon Nitride layer covers the Silicon Oxide overcoat within only the center and edge regions. The thickness of the Silicon Nitride layer is sufficient for providing a frequency modification to the acoustic wave within the center region and is optimized with a positioning of a Titanium strip within each of the opposing edge regions. The Titanium strip reduces the acoustic wave velocity within the edge regions with the velocity in the edge regions being less than the wave velocity within the transducer center region.

Piston Mode Acoustic Wave Device And Method Providing A High Coupling Factor

US Patent:
7939989, May 10, 2011
Filed:
Sep 22, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/564305
Inventors:
Marc Solal - Longwood FL, US
Julien Gratier - Newton MA, US
Robert Aigner - Ocoee FL, US
Kevin Gamble - Apopka FL, US
Assignee:
Triquint Semiconductor, Inc. - Orlando FL
International Classification:
H03H 9/25
US Classification:
310313B, 310313 C
Abstract:
An interdigital transducer includes an edge gap length between ends of electrodes and the opposing busbar increased sufficiently for reducing or even eliminating tunneling effects through the gap. As a result, a wave velocity of the acoustic wave within the longitudinally extending edge regions is less than the wave velocity within the transducer center region, and the wave velocity within the opposing gap regions is greater than a velocity in the transducer center region, thus an essentially flat propagation mode results within the aperture of the transducer. A SAW transducer or a SAW resonator on a high coupling substrate will thus guide the energy in the transducer region without a need for apodization. Higher equivalent coupling factors as well as lower losses are obtained.

Filed:
Dec 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/346287
Inventors:
Robert Aigner - Ocoee FL, US
Assignee:
Infineon Technologies AG - Neubiberg
International Classification:
G01P 9/00, G01C 19/56
US Classification:
7350401, 7350404
Abstract:
A rotation sensor has a substrate with a first surface and a second surface. A shear-wave transparent mirror is arranged on the first surface of the substrate, and a shear-wave isolator is arranged above the shear-wave transparent mirror, the shear-wave transparent mirror and the shear-wave isolator being arranged separated from each other to define a Coriolis zone there between. A bulk-acoustic-wave resonator is arranged above the shear-wave isolator, and a shear-wave detector is arranged on the substrate in a direction, in which a shear-wave generated by the bulk-acoustic-wave resonator upon rotation propagates.

Acoustic Wave Device Employing Reflective Elements For Confining Elastic Energy

US Patent:
7939987, May 10, 2011
Filed:
Oct 23, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/256494
Inventors:
Marc Solal - Longwood FL, US
Robert Aigner - Ocoee FL, US
Julien Gratier - Apopka FL, US
Taeho Kook - Orlando FL, US
Benjamin P. Abbott - Longwood FL, US
Assignee:
Triquint Semiconductor, Inc. - Orlando FL
International Classification:
H03H 9/145, H03H 9/25
US Classification:
310313R, 310313 B, 310313 D, 333195
Abstract:
An acoustic wave device includes electrodes carried on a surface of a piezoelectric material and an array of reflective obstacles such that elastic energy resulting from a piezoelectric effect is preferentially directed along a primary wave propagation path. The array of reflective obstacles are positioned generally parallel to the surface of the piezoelectric material and redirect acoustic waves typically reflected in other than a desirable direction to along a desired direction generally along the primary propagation path. The obstacles improve performance for SAW and BAW devices by effecting reflected energy and suppressing spurious modes.
