研究目的
To model and test the temperature responses of aluminum nitride (AlN) based surface acoustic wave resonators (SAWRs), focusing on the electrical performance and center frequency under varying temperatures.
研究成果
The study concludes that substrates with wider band gaps, like 6H-SiC, lead to more stable high temperature behavior in AlN-film based SAWRs. The experimental TCF of center frequencies closely matches the predicted values, validating the modified equivalent circuit model as an effective tool for estimating TCF in SAWR design.
研究不足
The study is limited by the fabrication capabilities, such as the thickness of AlN film, and the temperature range of testing (up to 725 K). The model does not account for serial parasitic parameters introduced by IDT grids and conducting lines, which may affect the results.
