Abstract

This paper describes the phase velocity dispersion characteristics of Lamb waves propagating in A1N-on-Si plates, which achieves high quality factor (Q > 10000) and low motional resistance (R-m<50 Q) at 260 MHz in air by using the fundamental quasi -symmetrical (QS(0)) mode. We have found that the ratio of the Si layer thickness (h(si)) over the acoustic wavelength (lambda) sets a limit for the QS(0) mode resonance at higher frequencies as increasing the ratio of hsA reduces the electromechanical coupling for the QS(0) mode while enhancing the spurious quasi-antisymmetrical (QA(0)) mode. Lastly, we also experimentally demonstrate that using multiple tethers helps suppress spurious modes
