Abstract

In a representative embodiment, a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator comprises: a cavity provided in a first layer and having a perimeter bordering an active region of the BAW resonator, a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) bordering the cavity, wherein the first layer is one of the layers of the DBR; a first electrode disposed over the substrate; a first piezoelectric layer disposed over the first electrode; a second electrode disposed over the first piezoelectric layer; a second piezoelectric layer disposed over the second electrode; a third electrode disposed over the second piezoelectric layer; and a bridge disposed between the first electrode and the third electrode.
