Abstract

Single crystalline lithium niobate (LN) thin films with a Y43-cut are fabricated by crystal-ion-slicing technique, and the B-staged benzocyclobutene (BCB) polymer is used as the bonding medium for the transferring of the LN thin film on to a homogeneous LN substrate. The thickness of the LN film is about 910 nm, and low energy ion irradiation is used to treat the surface of the film, which reduces the roughness from 12.4 nm down to 3.6 nm. Bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator is fabricated based on the thin LN layer, and the electromechanical coefficient (k2t) of the LN film reaches 16.3%. A 3-stage BAW filter is obtained, and the 3 dB bandwidth of the filter is 8.5%, demonstrating the single crystalline LN thin film with large k2t is promising for wide band filter.
