Abstract

Piezoelectric c-textured Al (1− x) Sc x N thin films, where the Sc relative concentration, x, varies in the range 0–0.15 have been studied in view of radio frequency (RF) electro-acoustic applications. Thin film bulk acoustic wave resonators (FBARs) employing these films were fabricated and characterized as a function of the Sc concentration for the first time. The measured electromechanical coupling is found to increase by as much as 100% in the above concentration range. The results from this work underline the potential of the c-textured Al (1− x) Sc x N based FBARs for wide band RF applications.
