Abstract

A film bulk acoustic-wave resonator encompasses a substrate having a cavity; a bottom electrode partially fixed to the substrate, part of the bottom electrode is mechanically suspended above the cavity; a piezoelectric layer provided on the bottom electrode; and a top electrode provided on the piezoelectric layer having crystal axes oriented along a thickness direction of the piezoelectric layer, a full width at half maximum of the distribution of the orientations of the crystal axes is smaller than or equal to about six degrees.
