Abstract
An integrated resonator apparatus includes a piezoelectric resonator and an acoustic Bragg reflector formed adjacent the piezoelectric resonator. The integrated resonator apparatus also includes a mass bias formed over the Bragg reflector on a side of the piezoelectric resonator opposite the piezoelectric resonator.
Claims3
A method of forming a piezoelectric resonator with a Bragg reflector, comprising:
- depositing alternating dielectric layers of lower and higher acoustic impedance materials over a substrate;
- depositing a first resonator electrode over the alternating dielectric layers;
- depositing a piezoelectric layer over the first resonator electrode;
- depositing a second resonator electrode over the piezoelectric layer;
- depositing a mass bias over the resonators;
- and
- encapsulating the mass bias, first and second electrodes, piezoelectric layer, and alternating dielectric layers with a plastic.
