Zinc-oxide–on–silicon surface acoustic wave resonators

Abstract
The first surface acoustic wave resonators fabricated using a ZnO‐on‐Si layered structure are described and characterized. The optimum location of the transducers in the resonant cavity and the general performance are first cited for devices containing isoloated aluminum, isolated Cr/Au, and shorted Cr/Au reflector strips. The transmission characteristics and reflecting properties of the shorted Cr/Au configuration are then examined in more detail. An unloaded Q of 3100 has been obtained with the shorted Cr/Au configuration at a resonant frequency of 105.4 MHz.
