Spurious-Free Lithium Niobate Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator with Grounded-Ring Electrode
Vakhtang Chulukhadze, Kristi Nguyen, Eric Stolt +6
High-performance piezoelectric resonators are promising energy storage elements for piezoelectric power conversion due to their compact footprint and low loss at frequencies where…
Bimorph Lithium Niobate Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers
Vakhtang Chulukhadze, Zihuan Liu, Ziqian Yao +8
Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) are widely utilized in applications that demand mechanical resilience, thermal stability, and compact form factors. Recen…
50 GHz Piezoelectric Acoustic Filter
Omar Barrera, Jack Kramer, Lezli Matto +5
This paper presents significant frequency scaling of acoustic filter technology to 50 GHz. This achievement is enabled by the P3F LiNbO3 multilayer stack, in which piezoelectric th…
Phononic Combs in Lithium Niobate Acoustic Resonators
Ian Anderson, Jack Kramer, Tzu-Hsuan Hsu +3
Frequency combs consist of a spectrum of evenly spaced spectral lines. Optical frequency combs enable technologies ranging from timing, LiDAR, and ultra-stable signal sources. Micr…
19.3 GHz Acoustic Filter with High Close-in Rejection in Tri-layer Thin-Film Lithium Niobate
Omar Barrera, Sinwoo Cho, Jack Kramer +3
Acoustic filters are preferred front-end solutions at sub-6 GHz due to their superior frequency selectivity compared to electromagnetic (EM) counterparts. With the ongoing developm…
62.6 GHz ScAlN Solidly Mounted Acoustic Resonators
Yinan Wang, Byeongjin Kim, Nishanth Ravi +13
We demonstrate a record-high 62.6 GHz solidly mounted acoustic resonator (SMR) incorporating a 67.6 nm scandium aluminum nitride (Sc0.3Al0.7N) piezoelectric layer on a 40 nm buried…
