Abstract

In this study, the 2-step methode by ALD equipment was used to improve the characteristics of ZnO thin films used in a piezoelectric layer when the FBAR devices of a SMR type are fabricated. The Height of formed buffer layer was $400{\AA}$ and ZnO thin film of $13600{\AA}$ was deposited by RF sputter on the buffer layer. When ZnO thin films are deposited, deposition conditions such as pressure, injection time of source and purge time were changed variously. The characteristics of piezoelectric layer such as a crystal orientation and micro-structure of deposited ZnO thin films were studied by SEM, AFM and XRD.
