摘要
The working principle and performance of state-of-the-art Bulk-Acoustic-Wave (BAW) devices is reviewed. The importance for RF-fllters in mobile,phone applications will be discussed and the benefit of Silicon-based technologies highlighted. Challenges in manufacturing of BAWs will be briefly reviewed. The most important performance parameters such as resonator bandwidth and Q-values - and their dependency on processing and design will be described. Whether monolithic integration "System-On-Chip" together with RF-ICs or hybrid integration "System-In-Package" makes more sense will be discussed. Examples of state-of-the-art in BAW filters in production and ramp-up status will be presented.
