Abstract

A bulk acoustic wave resonator includes: a substrate; a membrane layer forming a cavity together with the substrate; a lower electrode disposed on the membrane layer; a piezoelectric layer disposed on a flat surface of the lower electrode; and an upper electrode covering a portion of the piezoelectric layer and exposing a side of the piezoelectric layer to air, wherein the piezoelectric layer includes a step portion extended from the side of the piezoelectric layer and disposed on the flat surface of the lower electrode.
