Abstract

The surface acoustic wave (SAW) characteristics of AlxGa 1-xN thin films, such as velocity, electromechanical coupling coefficient κ2, temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF), and propagation loss, were investigated. AlxGa1-xN thin film was deposited on sapphire substrate by metal organic chemical vapour deposition and the Al mole fraction of x = 0.36 was measured using Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. SAW velocity of 5510 m/s and TCF of -51.20 ppm/°C were measured when the κh value was 0.078 and temperature ranged between -30 and 60 °C. κ2 varied from 1.26% to 2.22%. The fabricated SAW filter exhibited good device performance with insertion loss of -33.853 dB and sidelobe attenuation of 20 dB when the wavelength was 60 mm (λ/4 = 15 μm) and the centre frequency was 90.34 MHz.
