- FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b) are a top view and a sectional view of the FBAR filter before mounting the SAW chip, and FIG.
- (c) is a top view and a sectional view of the FBAR filter after mounting the SAW chip.
- the FBAR filter is composed of an FBAR filter chip 1301 and a SAW filter chip 1302.
- FBAR filter chip 1301 is an FBAR filter element (referred to as an FAR filter element as a whole and referred to as an FBAR filter element) 1303 Force is formed using, for example, a semiconductor process, and a SAW filter chip 1302 is flip chip mounted It is done.
- the FBAR filter element 1303 has unbalanced input / output terminals 1304 and 1305, and the SAW filter chip 1302 has balanced / unbalanced conversion function, and has one input terminal 1306 and two output terminals 1307 and 1308.
- the unbalanced signal input from the input terminal 1306 is converted to a balanced signal and output from the two output terminals 1307 and 1308.
- an FBAR filter with a balanced / unbalanced conversion function can be realized.
- the FBAR filter element 1 303 mainly performs filtering
- the SAW filter chip 1302 mainly performs balanced / unbalanced conversion, thereby realizing an FBAR filter having a low loss and a balanced / unbalanced conversion function. it can. Note that this filter is reversible in input and output.
- the output terminals 1309 and 1310 are flip-chip mounted to the 011 (a), the output terminals 1309 and 1310 are connected to the output terminals 1307 and 1308, respectively.
- 12 (a) and 12 (b) are respectively a top view and a cross-sectional view of an FBAR filter according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention.
- the FBAR filter is formed by forming an FBAR filter element 1402 and an SAW filter 1403 on a common piezoelectric substrate 1401.
- the FBAR filter element 1402 has unbalanced input / output terminals 1404 and 1405, and the SAW filter 1403 has balanced / unbalanced conversion function, and has one input terminal 1406 and two output terminals 1407 and 1408.
- the unbalanced signal input from the input terminal 1406 is converted to a balanced signal and output from the two output terminals 1407 and 1408.
- FBAR filter element 1402 By connecting the output terminal 1405 of the circuit to the input terminal 406 of the SAW filter 1403, it is possible to realize an FBAR filter to which an unbalanced imbalance is added.
- the FBAR filter element 1402 mainly performs filtering
- the SAW filter 1403 mainly performs balance-unbalance conversion, so that an FBAR filter having a small loss and a balance-unbalance change can be realized. Note that this filter is reversible in input and output.
- Such FBAR filter elements and SAW filters can be continuously formed on a piezoelectric substrate using a semiconductor process, which can contribute to cost reduction.
- FIG. 13 is a view showing an example of the manufacturing method according to the filter of the present invention.
- the piezoelectric substrate 1501 on which the SAW filter 1503 is formed in advance and the dummy substrate 1502 on which the piezoelectric film 1504 for FBAR is formed are prepared, and the piezoelectric film 1504 is transferred to the piezoelectric substrate 1501. Since the film quality of the piezoelectric film which largely controls the characteristics of the FBAR filter largely depends on the substrate at the time of forming the piezoelectric film, it is difficult to directly form a good piezoelectric film for the FBAR on the substrate of the SAW filter. Thus, an FBAR filter having good characteristics can be obtained by preparing only the piezoelectric film on another substrate in advance according to the manufacturing method described above and transferring it.
- the FBAR filter made according to this manufacturing method is also included in the present invention.
- the FBAR filter of the present invention is particularly suitably used for a wireless device such as a mobile phone.
