A Study on Fabrication of ZnO Surface Acoustic Wave Filter for Communication Devices

통신기기용 ZnO 탄성표면파 필터의 제작에 관한 연구

In this study, to minimize the above effect Zinc Oxide(ZnO) thin films on Si(100) substrate were deposited by RF magnetron sputter with changing sputtering conditions such as Ar/$O_2$ gas ratios, RF power, substrate temperature, chamber prsssure and target-substrate distance. To analyze a crystallographic properties of the films, ${\Theta}/2{\Theta}$ mode X-ray diffraction, rocking curve and Alpha-step were performed. SAW filters were fabricated to evaluate the feasibility of ZnO thin film as a piezoelectrical materials and the processes of ZnO SAW filters using etch and lift-off were compared.
