Wide-band acoustically coupled thin-film baw filter
ActiveUS20130057360A1Wide frequency bandwidthTolerance costPiezoelectric/electrostrictive device manufacture/assemblyImpedence networksThickness shearPhysics
In a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter based on laterally acoustically coupled resonators on piezoelectric thin films, one can utilize two distinct acoustic plate wave modes of different nature, for example the thickness extensional (longitudinal) TE1 and the second harmonic thickness shear (TS2) mode to form a bandpass response. The invention is based on the excitation of at least two lateral standing wave resonances belonging to different plate wave modes that facilitate the transmission of signal. The passband is designed by tailoring the wave propagation characteristics in the device such that the resonances are excited at suitable frequencies to form a passband of a desired shape. The bandwidth of the filter described herein may therefore be more than twice that of the existing state-of-the-art microacoustic filters. Consequently, it has significant commercial and technological value.

A thickness shear mode (TSM) sensor having a visco-elastic polymer coating and a fundamental frequency greater than 20 MHz useful for organic vapor or gas detection. The TSM quartz resonators at a fundamental frequency of 96 MHz were evaluated for their performance in organic vapor sensing applications and results were compared with the performance of 10 and 20 MHz resonators. These devices were produced by chemical milling of AT-cut quartz. Seven test organic vapors were utilized at concentrations ranging from 0.2 volume percent to 13.7 volume percent in the vapor phase. In all cases, the rubbery polymer polyisobutylene was used as a sensing layer. Detailed results for various sensor parameters such as sensitivity, baseline noise and drift, limit of detection, response and recovery times, dynamic range, and repeatability for the 96 MHz device were compared with those for 10 and 20 MHz devices. The test case of benzene / polyisobutylene was chosen to make these detailed comparisons. The 96 MHz device was found to be more sensitive than the lower frequency devices. Device sensitivity was dependent on the benzene concentration. Response and recovery times were smaller for the 96 MHz device. Response times decreased with analyte concentration. Sensor response was in reasonable agreement with the perturbation model of Sauerbrey at lower concentrations and deviated at the higher concentrations for the 96 MHz device. Higher frequency TSM devices can be very useful as organic vapor sensors both in detection and process monitoring applications. These devices have the advantages of simpler electronics, easier design and fabrication, well-developed models and good baseline stability when compared to other acoustic wave devices.
