P3J094-04. Spurious Vibration Suppression by Film Thickness Control for FBAR

We have successfully fabricated 5GHz band FBAR using aluminium nitride (AlN) film by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method on SiO2/Si substrate. However, large spurious existed between resonant frequency and anti-resonant frequency on admittance characteristics of prototype FBAR. We analyzed spurious vibration mechanism using three-dimensional (3-D) simulation. Spurious vibration mode was longitudinal thickness mode by simulation results. Therefore, we completely suppressed the spurious vibration by designing film thickness.
