Flexible ZnO thin film SAW device on polyimide substrate
Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices on flexible polyimide substrates were developed. The ZnO piezoelectric layers were deposited on a flexible polyimide substrate by low temperature reactive magnetron sputtering
then the layers were characterized by the X-ray Diffraction (XRD)
Sanning Electron Microscope(SEM)
and the Atomic Force Microscope. The results show that ZnO layers with columnar structures have (002) crystal orientation and lower layer roughness(less than 9 nm)
and they are suitable for fabrication of piezoelectric devices. The SAW device based on the ZnO piezoelectric layers were fabricated on a flexible polyimide substrate
and it could offer excellent resonance characteristics. A vector network analyzer was used detect the transmission curve
and results show that the resonance frequency and phase velocity increase with decreasing wavelength
and the experimental results are in good agreement with the simulated results. When the thickness and wavelength of the ZnO layer are 4 micron
and 8 micron
respectively
the device has its resonant frequency of 268 MHz
acoustic phase velocity of 2 144 m/s and the electromechanical coupling coefficent of 1.1 %. Moreover
the acoustic velocity in the ZnO layer also increases with the increase of the ZnO thickness.
