TLDR
In this paper, a piezoelectric resonator that achieves stable quality and improved resonance characteristics includes an acoustic reflector portion disposed between a substrate and a vibration portion, which includes a thin film sandwiched between a pair of electrodes, and a plurality of low acoustic impedance layers made of a material having relatively low impedance and a higher acoustic impedance layer made of high acoustic impedance.
Abstract
A piezoelectric resonator that achieves stable quality and improved resonance characteristics includes an acoustic reflector portion disposed between a substrate and a vibration portion, which includes a piezoelectric thin film sandwiched between a pair of electrodes, and a plurality of low acoustic impedance layers made of a material having relatively low acoustic impedance and a plurality of high acoustic impedance layers formed made of a material having relatively high acoustic impedance, the acoustic impedance layers being disposed alternately, and adjustment layers, which are disposed between the high acoustic impedance layers and the low acoustic impedance layers on the substrate sides of the high acoustic impedance layers and which have an acoustic impedance value intermediate between that of the high acoustic impedance layers and that of the low acoustic impedance layers. The low acoustic impedance layers and the high acoustic impedance layers have compressive stresses and the adjustment layers have a tensile stress.

Thin film piezo-electric resonator and thin film piezo-electric filter

TL;DR: In this paper, a thin-film piezo-electric resonator was proposed to suppress a generation of unnecessary horizontal acoustic mode. But, the upper electrode is not formed in the domain which includes straight lines passing along the center of this circular shape while having the length of 1/50 of the diameter, and the outline of the portion where the upper and lower electrodes overlap mutually in the thickness direction is rectangular.
