"FBAR(薄膜体声波谐振器)在5G通信中的应用" FBAR，全称为薄膜体声波谐振器，是一种在微电子领域中用于信号过滤和频率选择的关键器件。该技术在5G通信系统中扮演着重要角色，尤其在电路与传感器的设计中，其应用原理和方法对于提升通信质量和效率至关重要。 5G通信是第五代移动通信技术，它以高速、低延迟、大连接数和高能效为主要特点。为了实现这些目标，5G网络需要高效的滤波解决方案来处理大量的无线频谱资源。FBAR滤波器件因其独特的性能在此方面展现出巨大的潜力。FBAR的核心是利用压电材料（如AlN或ZnO）形成的薄膜结构，当受到电信号激发时，能够产生和传播体声波，这种声波的振动频率与输入信号的频率相匹配，从而实现信号的选择性通过或阻断。 FBAR的主要优点包括： 1. 尺寸微型化：FBAR的尺寸通常在微米级别，这使得它们可以轻松集成到集成电路中，适应5G通信中对小型化和密集化设备的需求。 2. 高频率操作：FBAR的工作频率通常在GHz范围，这对于处理5G通信中的高频信号非常理想。 3. 高Q值：FBAR具有较高的品质因数（Q值），这意味着它可以在宽频带内保持高选择性，降低信号失真。 4. CMOS兼容性：FBAR能够与互补金属氧化物半导体（CMOS）工艺无缝集成，降低了生产成本并提高了系统集成度。在5G通信应用中，FBAR滤波器不仅用于射频前端，优化信号传输，还用于物理传感应用。例如，通过结合化学和生物分子传感器，FBAR能够实时、无标记地检测分析物，大大简化了系统级别的仪器设计，并扩展了便携式点-of-use技术的功能。CMOS集成使得复杂的测量过程得以简化，减少了额外的设备成本，提高了整体系统的实用性。 FBAR技术是5G通信和高级传感器设计中的重要创新，它推动了通信技术的快速发展，为未来的无线通信和物联网应用提供了更高效、更灵活的解决方案。通过深入理解FBAR的工作原理及其与5G通信的结合，我们可以预见一个更加智能化、连接紧密的未来世界。

Chapter 1

Introduction

“You’ve got to listen to the silicon, because it’s always trying to tell you what

it can do.” - Carver Mead, Los Angeles Times, May 21, 1989

It is hardly an exaggeration to say that silicon integrated circuits have deﬁned our era. In

the last 50 years, integrated circuit technology has scaled exponentially to enable mass-

production of incredibly powerful and low-cost devices; advances in complementary metal-

oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology have allowed transistor density to double every

year since 1959 [1]. This has fueled an unparalleled industrial growth driven by low-cost,

high-density computation and imaging. In the next 50 years, we may see this technology

infrastructure applied to a broad scope of emerging, non-computational applications in

chemistry, biology, and medicine.

Integration of CMOS circuits with chemical and biomolecular sensors has the po-

tential to push complex electronics into a low-cost, portable platform, greatly simplifying

system-level instrumentation and extending the reach and functionality of point of use tech-

nologies. This has most recently been demonstrated by the commercialization of disposable

CMOS cartridges for high-throughput genetic sequencing [2].

A multitude of sensing mechanisms have already been developed that are the right

size, signal level, and frequency range for interfacing with modern integrated circuit tech-

nologies. This dissertation describes a body of work undertaken to advance one of these

technologies, acoustic resonators, to a CMOS-integrated platform for the demonstration of

this very real potential.

The thin-ﬁlm bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) is made from a thin layer of piezo-

electric material, sandwiched between two electrodes. The devices are nominally 100 µm

on a side and 1-2 µm thick, and they exhibit a fundamental resonance frequency in the low

gigahertz range. When a layer of material adsorbs or is bound to the top surface of this

structure, the resonant frequency shifts down, slightly. Through integration with CMOS

electronics, an array of monolithic sensors is constructed that are measured continuously

and in parallel without the need for complex, external instrumentation. This functionality

is experimentally demonstrated through the detection and quantiﬁcation of organic vapor

concentration.

The FBAR-CMOS sensor platform enables sensitive, real-time, label-free detection

in a small and portable form factor. It is broadly applicable to applications in which

molecules can be selectively bound. This has signiﬁcant potential utility in the measurement

of proteins, nucleic acids, and contaminants in air and water.

1.1 Thesis outline

Chapter 2 compares traditional and emerging detection techniques, and it reviews the cur-

rent state of the art for label-free and real-time detection methods. A particular emphasis is

given to acoustic resonators, and the interface between an acoustic resonator and a CMOS

integrated circuit platform is described. The remaining bulk of this dissertation is divided

into three main sections. These describe the resonant sensor, the CMOS platform, and an

experimental demonstration of the integrated system.

Chapter 3 provides the background necessary to understand the design and function

of acoustic resonator devices, and it describes the design, fabrication, and characterization

of zinc oxide FBAR structures. These are built on glass and silicon substrates and exhibit

electrical and mechanical resonances between 800 MHz and 1.5 GHz.

Chapter 4 reports the circuit and system requirements for the implementation of

2.2 Traditional detection methods

A consistent driver of cost and complexity in chemical and biological detection is the use of

labels for quantitative measurement. Alternatively, most laboratory systems for label-free

quantiﬁcation, such as mass spectrometry, require even greater capital investment and user

training. This section uses two application examples to describe current methods for both

laboratory-based and point of use detection.

2.2.1 Biomolecular detection

Laboratory methods

An immunoassay is a biomolecular technique for identifying antibodies or antigens in an

unknown sample mixture. Immunoassays are employed in medicine for many diagnostic

purposes, including the identiﬁcation of viral or bacterial infection, autoimmune condition,

acute cardiac illness, pregnancy, and blood type [3]. As a laboratory method, this assay is

employed in many variants of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the basic

steps of which are illustrated in Figure 2.1 for indirect antigen detection.

A generic indirect ELISA protocol proceeds as follows: A prepared test sample is

incubated in a plastic well plate, where antigens bind non-speciﬁcally to the surface. A

wash step removes unbound sample mixture, and an antigen-speciﬁc detection antibody is

incubated in the wells. The antibody binds to present antigen, and a wash step removes

unbound antibody. For read-out, a secondary antibody that has been conjugated to an

enzyme tag is incubated in the test well. The secondary antibody binds to collocated detec-

tion antibody, and unbound secondary antibody is removed. Finally, a detection substrate

solution is added to the well. The enzyme label catalyzes a color-changing reaction, with

color density proportional to secondary antibody concentration.

The ELISA process is very robust in the hands of a trained practitioner, and a large

well plate allows for testing several samples or several antigens in parallel. As can be seen

in Figure 2.1, however, the process has many steps, each of which introduces error and loss.
