Abstract

A process for fabricating an acoustic wave resonator comprising a suspended membrane comprising a piezoelectric material layer, comprises the following steps: production of a first stack comprising at least one layer of first piezoelectric material on the surface of a first substrate; production of a second stack comprising at least one second substrate; production of at least one non-bonding initiating zone by deposition or creation of particles of controlled sizes leaving the surface of one of said stacks endowed locally with projecting nanostructures before a subsequent bonding step; direct bonding of said two stacks creating a blister between the stacks, due to the presence of the non-bonding initiating zone; and, thinning of the first stack to eliminate at least the first substrate.
