摘要
Two different types of temperature-compensated film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs) are designed, fabricated, and tested. One is formed by integrating FBAR with a surface-micromachined air-gap capacitor, which passively reduces the FBAR's temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) by about 40 ppm/degrees C at 2.8 GHz. With this approach, zero TCF would easily have been achieved if the FBARs were built on AlN rather than ZnO. The other type of temperature compensated FBAR is built on a surface-micromachined SiO2 cantilever that is released by XeF2 vapor etching of silicon. The AI-ZnO-Al-SiO2 FBAR is measured to have a TCF of -0.45 ppm/degrees C (between 85 degrees C and 110 degrees C) at 4.4 GHz.
