Abstract
A design guideline for one-port aluminum nitride (AlN) Lamb wave resonators (LWRs) working at S0 mode with high performance is reported. A fabricated 252 MHz LWR, with an aperture of 200 μm, 12 fingers, and 1.5 μm thick AlN, is found to have a remarkably high figure of merit (FOM), which exhibits a high ratio of the resistance at parallel resonance (Rp) to the resistance at series resonance (Rs) of 1317 and a corresponding product of the effective coupling coefficient (k2eff) and quality factor (Q) exceeding 52. Consisting of such resonators, a 6-stage ladder filter with a low pass-band insertion loss (IL) of 4.5 dB and steep filter skirts is achieved, offering significant advantage of size savings.
