Film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices with 2DEG bottom electrode
Techniques are disclosed for forming high frequency film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices that include a bottom electrode formed of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). The disclosed FBAR devices may be implemented with various group III-nitride (III-N) materials, and in some cases, the 2DEG may be formed at a heterojunction of two epitaxial layers each formed of III-N materials, such as a gallium nitride (GaN) layer and an aluminum nitride (AlN) layer. The 2DEG bottom electrode may be able to achieve similar or increased carrier transport as compared to an FBAR device having a bottom electrode formed of metal. Additionally, in some embodiments where AlN is used as the piezoelectric material for the FBAR device, the AlN may be epitaxially grown which may provide increased performance as compared to piezoelectric material that is deposited by traditional sputtering techniques.
