In the present work, a lithium niobate (LN) 43°Y cut LN film is transferred onto a substrate with 11 layers of SiO/TaO and solidly mounted resonators with a reflector are successfully fabricated with the multilayer structure. The design method and fabrication process are demonstrated. The finite element model and the Mason model are used. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy are used to characterize film quality. An optimized design of a Bragg reflector to suppress the leakage of acoustic energy by thickness shear mode is proven to be effective. The influence of the reflector on parasitic modes and filter out-of-band suppression is analyzed. The resonator for 3.5 GHz shows an effective electromechanical coupling coefficient of 17.9%, and the figure of merit is 40.4, which is suitable for band pass filter on the N78 band with high rejection.

Magnetoelectric BAW and SAW Devices: A Review.

Micromachines (Basel)

December 2024

Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Northeastern University, Boston, MA 02115, USA.

Magnetoelectric (ME) devices combining piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials have emerged as powerful tools to miniaturize and enhance sensing and communication technologies. This paper examines recent developments in bulk acoustic wave (BAW) and surface acoustic wave (SAW) ME devices, which demonstrate unique capabilities in ultra-sensitive magnetic sensing, compact antennas, and quantum applications. Leveraging the mechanical resonance of BAW and SAW modes, ME sensors achieve the femto- to pico-Tesla sensitivity ideal for biomedical applications, while ME antennas, operating at acoustic resonance, allow significant size reduction, with high radiation gain and efficiency, which is suited for bandwidth-restricted applications.

Red blood cell (RBC)-based carriers have emerged as promising vehicles for drug delivery due to their inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Traditional methods for loading nanoparticles (NPs) onto RBC surfaces often involve labor-intensive processes like incubation and multiple centrifugation steps, limiting their practicality and controllability. In this study, we introduce a fully integrated acoustofluidic platform that enables one-step preparation of NP-loaded RBC carriers with controlled modification and on-site purification.

The presence of abnormally oriented grains (AOGs) in sputter-deposited aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN) films significantly degrades their physical properties, compromising the performance of bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices. This study utilizes first-principles calculations to reveal that in tetrahedral wurtzite AlScN film-doped Sc atoms tend to aggregate at the second nearest-neighbor positions, forming dense ScN octahedral structures. The rock-salt (RS) ScN continued to grow due to further Sc aggregation.
