Abstract

This work demonstrates the applicability of periodically slotted SiO2 (PSS) structures (PSSs) for controlling the urface acoustic wave (SAW) slowness shape and eliminating the transverse modes in layered SAW structures represented by the Incredible High Performance SAW. The use of PSS comprising SiO2 blocks and air gaps provides larger acoustic anisotropy for slowness shape manipulation. The effect of PSSs on transverse mode suppression is revealed. The slowness curves and frequency responses with different structural parameters of PSS are calculated by FEM analysis. Then, an electrode is designed for further spurious resonance suppression. A hammer-head configuration and Si3N4 overlay are applied. It is shown that higher-order transverse modes in the passband were well suppressed without reduction of the electromechanical coupling factor.
