Abstract

An acoustic resonator with a reinforcing structure is provided according to the present disclosure. The acoustic resonator includes a substrate and a cavity formed on the substrate, a piezoelectric layer is arranged above the substrate and an opening passing through the piezoelectric layer is formed in a peripheral region of the piezoelectric layer. The reinforcing structure includes a reinforcing layer, part of the reinforcing layer is formed at the edge of the opening with being fitted to the edge, to reinforce a resonant functional layer near the edge of the opening, which can reduce a change in stress of the piezoelectric layer and the lower electrode near the edge of the opening after the cavity is released, so that the piezoelectric layer and the lower electrode do not easily collapse due to stress, thereby ensuring the performance of a device. A method for manufacturing the same is further provided.
