Abstract

ABSTRACT Microstructures of piezoelectric single crystal substrates have been characterized by omega − 2θ & omega − rel of TAXRD, DSC, SPM and SEM, which include X-112° Y LiTaO3 and AT36°Y-X quartz for SAW devices with electric properties normal and degradation. Relations between substrate microstructure and property degradation are investigated. The effects of tilts and lattice constant in a sample are separated by omega − 2θ & omega − rel, and substrates inhomogeneity determined using DSC & TAXRD. Researches indicate that reasons for quartz's degradation are substrate inhomogeneous, existing different piezoelectric phase-transition structures, one being the β quartz and the other abnormality, which phase-transition temperature is between 574.9∼577°C, and occur mosaic structure and over roughness surface, and causes for LiTaO3′s degradation are mosaic structure and different Li2O composition.
