Abstract

This invention is a design for lateral field film bulk acoustic resonators (LF-FBAR). All electrodes in this design are located on one surface of the piezoelectric material, thereby simplifying manufacturing and improving performance. The gap between electrodes is limited to a specified dimension to maximize the efficiency of the device. Single and multi-pole devices are described. Barium magnesium fluoride and lithium niobate are specified as the piezoelectric material for high frequency applications.
