Abstract

An acoustic resonator structure comprises a first electrode disposed on a substrate, a piezoelectric layer disposed on the first electrode, a second electrode disposed on the piezoelectric layer, a frame disposed within a main membrane region defined by an overlap between the first electrode, the piezoelectric layer, and the second electrode, and having an outer edge substantially aligned with a boundary of the main membrane region, and a collar formed separate from the frame, disposed outside the main membrane region, and having an inner edge substantially aligned with the boundary of or overlapping the main membrane region.
