Abstract

An acoustic resonator device includes a bottom electrode disposed on a substrate over an air cavity, a piezoelectric layer disposed on the bottom electrode, and a top electrode disposed on the piezoelectric layer, where an overlap between the top electrode, the piezoelectric layer and the bottom electrode over the air cavity defines a main membrane region. The acoustic resonator device further includes at least one air-ring defining a boundary of the main membrane region, and at least one first frame formed between the bottom electrode and the piezoelectric layer or formed between the substrate and the bottom electrode, and a second frame formed between the piezoelectric layer and the top electrode.
