Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensors typically use an optical filter that transmits a discriminating 4.26 ㎛ wavelength band to measure carbon dioxide (CO2), as CO2 absorbs 4.26 ㎛ infrared. The filter performance depends on the transmittance and full width at half maximum (FWHM). This paper presents the fabrication, sensitivity, and selectivity characteristics of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR)-based Fabry-Perot filter with a simple structure for CO2 detection. Each Ge and SiO2 films were prepared using the RF magnetron sputtering technique. The transmittance characteristics were measured using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The fabricated filter had a peak transmittance of 59.1% at 4.26 ㎛ and a FWHM of 158 nm. In addition, sensitivity and selectivity experiments were conducted by mounting the sapphire substrate and the fabricated filter on an NDIR CO2 sensor measurement system. When measuring the sensitivity, the concentration of CO2 was observed in the range of 0-10000 ppm, and the selectivity was measured for environmental gases of 1000 ppm. The fabricated filter showed lower sensitivity to CO2 but showed higher selectivity with other gases.

We compare the reflectivity spectrum and phase change of Bragg reflectors obtained by the matrix method and the coupled wave method. We show that the results obtained by the two methods agree well generally and the discrepancy between the results obtained by the two methods increases as the fractional refractive index difference between adjacent layers increases and/or the absorption loss increases, due to the approximations inherent in the coupled wave method for the analysis of multiple dielectric layers.

The paper presents some methods to improve characteristics of film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices. The FBAR devices were fabricated on Bragg reflectors. Thermal treatments were done by sintering and/or annealing processes. The measurement showed a considerable improvement of return loss $(S_{11})$ and quality factor $(Q_{s/p}).$ These thermal treatment techniques seem very promising for enhancing FBAR resonance performance.

Film bulk acoustic resonators for radio frequency wireless applications are presented. Various simulations and modeling were carried out. The impedance of a five-layered FBAR showed almost the same trend of the wideband characteristics as that of an ideal FBAR, but the characteristics of the higher modes appear to be much more suppressed. In addition, the wideband impedance decreased with increasing device size. The resonance characteristics depend strongly on the physical dimensions.

In this paper, cobalt (Co)-electrode FBAR devices fabricated on seven-layered Bragg Reflectors are presented along with their resonance characteristics. ZnO films are used as the resonating material in FBAR devices where the Co electrode is 3000${\AA}$ thick. All processes are preformed in an RF magnetron sputtering system. As a result of characterization, the resonance characteristics are observed to depend strongly on the quality of ZnO film and Bragg Reflectors. In addition, the FBAR devices with W/$SiO_2$ reflectors show good resonance characteristics in term of return loss and quality-factor (Q-factor).

Effects of the addition of Cr adhesion layer to $W/SiO_2$ multilayer Bragg reflectors on the resonance characteristics of film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) devices are presented. Main resonance peaks could be significantly shifted to higher frequency, mainly due to the addition of Cr adhesion layer to multilayer Bragg reflectors and control of the bottom electrode thickness as well. The FBAR devices with the Cr adhesion layer in Bragg reflectors could result in much more improved resonance characteristics at about 3 GHz in terms of return loss and Q-factor.

본 논문에서는 λ/4 반사층으로 이루어진 체적 탄성파 공진기의 두 가지 유형을 등가회로를 이용하여 이론적으로 분석하고 두 유형의 차이점을 비교 논의하였다. λ/2 모드는 상, 하부전극이 공기와 접하는 이상적인 공진기와 λ/4 모드는 상부전극은 공기와 접하고 하부전극 아래는 완전히 막혀 있는 이상적인 공진기와 비교하여 반사층이 공진특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 압전층으로는 ZnO 를 전극층으로는 Al 을 기판층은 Si 을 사용하였다. Mason 등가회로를 ABCD 파라미터를 추출할 수 있는 단순화된 등가회로로 변환하여 입력임피던스를 구하였다. 반사층의 두께 변화에 의한 공진주파수의 변화와 반사층의 기계적 Q 에 따른 전기적 Q 의 변화를 통해 하부전극 바로 아래의 반사층의 변화률이 제일 큼을 알 수 있었다. 반사층의 탄성 임피던스비가 증가함에 따라 Q 의 포화에 필요한 반사층의 수가 감소하였고 동일한 반사층 조건에서 λ/2 모드의 전기적 Q 가 λ/4 모드의 전기적 Q 보다 다소 크다는 사실을 확인하였다. 전기기계결합계수는 반사층수에 독립적이었고 반사층의 탄성 임피던스비가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 두 모드 모두 전기기계결합계수는 반사층에 탄성파 에너지의 존재로 인하여 이상적인 공진기보다 낮고 동일한 반사층 조건에서 λ/2 모드가 λ/4 모드보다 큼을 확인하였다. Ladder 필터 특성에는 반사층수가 증가할수록 삽입손실은 감소하지만 대역폭에는 큰 변화가 없었고 반사층의 탄성임피던스비가 높을수록 동일한 반사층수에서 삽입손실은 감소하였고 대역폭은 넓어졌다. 분석한 모든 특성으로 닥 때 λ/2 모드가 λ/4 모드보다 다소 우수하였다.

This paper presents some methods to improve the resonance characteristics of film bulk acoustic-wave resonator (FBAR) devices. The FBAR devices were fabricated on multilayer Bragg reflectors (BR) into which very thin chromium (Cr) adhesion layers were inserted, followed by several kinds of thermal annealing processes. These methods resulted in an excellent device improvement in terms of return loss and Q-factors.

A wavelength filter based on a polymer Bragg reflector has received much attention due to its simple structure and wide tuning range. Tilted Bragg gratings and asymmetric Y-branches are integrated to extract the reflected optical signals in different directions. To optimize device performance, design procedures are thoroughly considered and various design parameters are applied to fabricated devices. An asymmetric Y-branch with an angle of $0.3^{\circ}$ produced crosstalk less than -25 dB, and the even-odd mode coupling was optimized for a grating tilt angle of $2.5^{\circ}$, which closely followed the design results. Through this experiment, it was confirmed that this device has a large manufacturing tolerance, which is important for mass production of this optical device.
