Abstract Piezoelectricity of YbAlN films has recently been shown to be almost as high as that of ScAlN films. YbAlN film surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators are expected to have a high coupling factor. We theoretically investigated the propagation characteristics of first-mode Rayleigh SAWs (RSAWs) on Yb0.33Al0.67N film/high-velocity Si, sapphire, AlN, SiC, BN, and diamond substrates. The first-mode RSAWs on the YbAlN layered structures had high coupling factors, higher than those on ScAlN layered structures. An enhancement of the effective coupling factor of the first mode RSAWs was observed in polarity inverted YbAlN film/BN or diamond substrate structures.

The frequency response of a 37 MHz bulk LiNbO3 surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter with a 200-nm-thick ZnO overlayer exhibited a downshift in the frequency with ultraviolet (UV) light due to acoustoelectric interactions between the photo-generated carriers in the semiconducting ZnO and the surface acoustic waves. In contrast, a 36 MHz ZnO thin film SAW delay-line with insulating ZnO films exhibited an upshift in the frequency. The response was more pronounced at higher harmonics (130–315 MHz) and was attributed to changes in the elastic/dielectric properties in the upper surface layer of ZnO. A linear change in the frequency with UV intensity shows immense applicability for wireless ultraviolet sensor applications.

AbstractZnO, a well-known piezoelectric material, is used to develop micro-scale Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) delay line sensor. In this work, SAW delay line Devices are fabricated employing ZnO films that are deposited by RF sputtering technique. Films are characterized prior to device fabrication by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) for film crystalline quality, UV-visible transmission spectroscopy for optical characteristics, and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) for surface morphology. Interdigital electrodes producing surface acoustic waves in the hundreds of MHz are developed by photolithography and metalization techniques. SAW delay line device testing, measurement and characteristics on RF sputtered ZnO films are presented and compared.
