Abstract
A major part of the research on Love mode surface acoustic wave (SAW) is focused on using different: - conventional piezoelectric substrates, guiding and sensing layers → to obtain low insertion loss, high power durability, high sensitivities In a classical fabrication scheme (a), the metal electrodes (IDTs) are deposited on top of the substrates In a proposed work metal fingers are embedded in the substrate (b) to improve the SAW device performance: - Micromachining structures: A laser, an inductively coupled plasma etching (ICP) and a reactive ion etching (RIE) - Metals growth: - Ni electroplating + chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to remove the exceeding metal - Al evaporation + lift-off process
