Abstract

Film Bulk Acoustic wave Resonator (FBAR) using thin piezoelectric films can be made as monolithic integrated devices with compatibility to semiconductor process, leading to small size and low cost, high Q RF circuit elements with wide applications in communications area. This paper presents a MMIC compatible suspended FBAR using surface micromachining. Membrane is composed $Si_3N_4SiO_2Si _3N_4$ multi layer and air gap is about 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Firstly, We perform one dimensional simulation applying transmission line theorem to verify resonance characteristic of the FBAR. Process of the FBAR is used MEMS technology. Fabricated FBAR resonate at 2.4GHz, $K^2_{eff}$ and Q are 4.1% and 1100.
