Abstract

A bulk-acoustic wave resonator includes: a membrane layer disposed on a substrate and forming a cavity; a lower electrode disposed on the membrane layer; a piezoelectric layer disposed on the lower electrode; an upper electrode disposed on the piezoelectric layer, and including a frame part disposed at an edge of an active area and having a thickness greater than that of a portion of the upper electrode disposed in a central portion of the active area; and a frequency adjusting layer disposed on the piezoelectric layer and the upper electrode. The frequency adjusting layer is excluded from an inclined surface of the frame part, or a thickness of a portion of the frequency adjusting layer on the inclined surface is less than that of other portions of the frequency adjusting layer. The frequency adjusting layer is disposed on a portion of the piezoelectric layer protruding from the upper electrode.
