Abstract

Aspects of this disclosure relate to a bulk acoustic wave device with a multi-layer raised frame. The bulk acoustic wave device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a piezoelectric layer positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a multi-layer raised frame structure configured to cause lateral energy leakage from a main acoustically active region of the bulk acoustic wave device to be reduced. The multi-layer raised frame structure includes a first raised frame layer embedded in the piezoelectric layer and a second raised frame layer. The first raised frame layer has a lower acoustic impedance than the piezoelectric layer.
