Abstract

ZnO films with c-axis (0002) orientation have been successfully grown by RF magnetron sputtering on interdigital transducer/Al2O3/glass substrates. Alumina films were deposited on glass substrates by electron beam evaporation. The crystalline structure and surface roughness of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy, respectively. The phase velocity and coupling coefficient of surface acoustic wave (SAW) device apparently increased when we increased the thickness of the alumina films. In addition, an excellent temperature coefficient of frequency of the SAW device was obtained by increasing the thickness of the alumina films. This experimental result is beneficial for enhancing the performance of ZnO thin-film SAW devices on inexpensive glass substrates.
