Finite element analysis of surface acoustic wave resonators

Kannan, Thirumalai 03 July 2006
Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices are key components in RF and IF stages of many electronic systems. A Surface Acoustic wave is a mechanical wave, which is excited on the surface of a piezoelectric substrate, when an alternating electric voltage is applied through a comb-like interdigital transducer (electrodes) patterned on it. Most SAW applications to date have been in the sub-2GHz region, but emerging applications require SAW devices at higher frequencies. The traditional models are inadequate to account for pronounced second order effects at the GHz range and also new microfabrication techniques are required to obtain quality devices as the critical dimensions shrink into the nano-scale range at these frequencies. The finite element method (a numerical method of solving differential equations) has the potential to account for these effects and ever increasing sub-micron processing capabilities of LIGA (X-ray lithography) present a promising outlook for high frequency SAW device modeling and fabrication respectively. <p>A finite element model has been developed using commercial software ANSYS for one port SAW resonators and is presented in this thesis. The one port SAW resonators are generally connected in form of ladder networks to form low-loss SAW filters. The spacing between the electrodes and the velocity of the SAW determine the frequency of operation of these devices. A finite element model has been developed for three different types of SAWdevices namely Rayleigh, leaky and longitudinal leaky SAW (LLSAW). The LLSAW has higher velocity as compared to other two types and hence considered in this work as a good prospect for high frequency SAW devices. <p>A full finite element model could not be solved due to high computing requirements and hence some assumptions were made and the results were validated against published results in the literature. The results indicate that even with simplifying assumptions and approximations FE model provides reasonably accurate results, that can be used in device design. Some of the simulations (in LLSAW based devices) in this work were also done with a view towards using LIGA (X-ray lithography) for fabrication of high frequency devices as they have the capability for high aspect ratios.

Ingénierie des contraintes de films minces d'oxydes de LaNiO3 : les substrats piézoélectriques / Innovating in the engineering of the thin oxide film strains : piezoelectric substrates

Chaban, Nicolas 16 January 2012 (has links)
Ce travail est né de l'idée d'associer l'ingénierie des matériaux sous forme de couches minces, domaine qui motive depuis de nombreuses années les chercheurs du LMGP, à des substrats piézoélectriques à fort coefficients de déformation. Les matériaux piézoélectriques peuvent convertir une énergie électrique en une énergie mécanique (de déformation) et vice-versa. Il est alors aisé d'imaginer qu'une couche mince synthétisée à la surface d'un substrat piézoélectrique profitera de la déformation de ce dernier quand il est soumit à un champ électrique. Le substrat mis en jeu est le PMN-PT, composé qui présente de forts coefficients de déformation. Dans cette étude le film synthétisé et mis en œuvre est le LaNiO3. Il cristallise dans une structure pérovskite ABO3. Cette structure présente l'avantage de permettre une grande variété de distorsions structurales et peut accueillir un grand nombre d'éléments chimiques. / This work was born from the idea of ​​combining materials in thin films form, an area that motivates many years researchers LMGP, to substrates with high piezoelectric coefficients of deformation. Piezoelectric materials can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy (strain) and vice versa. So we can imagine that a thin film synthesized on the surface of a piezoelectric substrate will benefit from the substrate deformation when subjected to an electric field. The substrate involved is the PMN-PT, a compound that shows high piezoelectric coefficient. In this study the film synthesized is the LaNiO3. It crystallizes in a perovskite structure ABO3. This structure has the advantage of a wide variety of structural distortions and can accommodate a large number of chemical elements.

Einfluss reversibler epitaktischer Dehnung auf die ferroische Ordnung dünner Schichten

Herklotz, Andreas 24 April 2012 (has links)
In dieser Arbeit werden die Auswirkungen epitaktischer Dehnung auf die Eigenschaften ferromagnetischer und ferroelektrischer Perowskitschichten untersucht. Dazu wird der biaxiale Dehnungszustand einer Schicht reversibel verändert, indem einkristalline piezoelektrische Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.72Ti0.28O3 (001) Substrate (PMN-PT) verwendet werden. Ergänzt werden die Messungen mit dieser “dynamischen” Methode durch Untersuchungen an statisch gedehnten Schichten, gewachsen auf LaAlxSc1-xO3-Pufferschichten mit gezielt abgestimmter Gitterfehlpassung. Drei verschiedene Materialsysteme werden studiert: die ferromagnetischen Oxide La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 und SrRuO3 und das ferroelektrische Pb(Zr,Ti)O3. Für La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 wird ein dehnungsinduzierter Übergang von der bekannten ferromagnetischen Phase zu einer magnetisch weniger geordneten, spinglasartigen Phase nachgewiesen. Es ergeben sich keine Hinweise auf eine Beeinflussung des Co-Spinzustandes. In epitaktischen SrRuO3-Schichten bewirkt eine Zugdehnung einen strukturellen Phasenübergang von der orthorhombischen Bulk-Phase zu einer out-of-plane orientierten tetragonalen Phase. Die leichte Richtung liegt in der Ebene. Reversible Dehnungsmessungen zeigen einen deutlichen Einfluss auf die ferromagnetische Ordnungstemperatur und deuten auf eine geringe Veränderung des magnetischen Moments hin. Der Dehnungseffekt auf die elektrischen Transporteigenschaften wird bestimmt. Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 wird als ferroelektrisches Standardmaterial genutzt, um erstmalig den Einfluss biaxialer Dehnung auf das ferroelektrische Schaltverhalten dünner Schichten zu untersuchen. Für kleine elektrische Felder zeigen die Messungen das typische Verhalten einer gepinnten Domänenwandbewegung. Hier wird der Schaltvorgang unter Piezokompression stark beschleunigt. Werden an die elektrischen Kontakte größere elektrische Felder angelegt, geht die Domänenwandbewegung in das Depinning-Regime über. Die Schaltkinetik wird in diesem Bereich unter Piezokompression leicht verlangsamt.:1 Einführung 1.1 Motivation 1.2 Methodik 1.3 Übersicht 2 Probenherstellung und -charakterisierung 2.1 Gepulste Laserdeposition 2.1.1 Prinzip 2.1.2 Aufbau 2.1.3 RHEED 2.1.4 Optimierung des Schichtwachstums 2.1.5 Targets 2.1.6 Substrate 2.2 Röntgendiffraktion 2.2.1 Röntgenmethoden 2.2.2 Röntgenreflektometrie 2.3 SQUID-Magnetometrie 2.4 Rasterkraftmikroskopie 2.5 Transportmessungen 2.6 Elektrische Polarisationsmessungen 3 PMN-PT 3.1 PMN-PT als piezoelektrisches Dünnschicht-Substrat 3.2 PMN-PT als Piezoaktuator 3.3 Temperaturabhängigkeit der Piezodehnung 3.4 Dehnungsübertragung in die Schicht 4 Puffersysteme 4.1 Motivation 4.2 LaAlxSc1−xO3 4.3 BaxSr1−xTiO3 5 Dehnungseinfluss auf ferromagnetische Filme - La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 5.1 Grundlagen zu La1−xSrxCoO3 5.1.1 Struktur 5.1.2 Spinzustand 5.1.3 Magnetische Wechselwirkungen / Doppelaustausch 5.1.4 Phasendiagramm / magnetische Phasenseparation 5.2 Messungen 5.2.1 Gitter- und Mikrostruktur 5.2.2 Curie-Temperatur 5.2.3 Magnetoelastischer Effekt 5.2.4 Magnetisierungsschleifen 5.2.5 elektrischer Transport 5.3 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 6 Dehnungseinfluss auf ferromagnetische Filme - SrRuO3 6.1 Grundlagen zu SrRuO3 6.1.1 Struktur 6.1.2 Magnetismus 6.1.3 Elektrischer Transport 6.2 Messungen 6.2.1 Gitter- und Mikrostruktur 6.2.2 Magnetismus 6.2.3 Elektrischer Transport 6.3 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 7 Dehnungseinfluss auf ferroelektrische Filme - PbZr1−xTixO3 7.1 Grundlagen 7.1.1 PbZr1−xTixO3 7.1.2 Elektrische Polarisation 7.1.3 Koerzitivfeld 7.1.4 Domänendynamik 7.2 Messungen 7.2.1 Gitterstruktur 7.2.2 Standardcharakterisierung: Dehnungseinfluss auf die remanente Polarisation Pr und das Koerzitivfeld EC 7.2.2.1 Statische Messungen 7.2.2.2 Dehnungsmessungen 7.2.3 PUND-Messungen: Dehnungseinfluss auf die charakteristische Schaltzeit tsw 7.3 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 8 Zusammenfassung / In this work, the effect of epitaxial strain on the properties of ferromagnetic and ferroelectric perovskite thin films is studied. Single-crystalline piezoelectric Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.72Ti0.28O3 (001) substrates (PMN-PT) are utilized to reversibly change the biaxial strain state of the films. The measurements performed by this “dynamic” approach are complemented by studying statically strained films grown on LaAlxSc1-xO3 buffer layers with deliberately tuned lattice misfit. Three different material systems are investigated: the ferromagnetic oxides La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 and SrRuO3 and the ferroelectric compound Pb(Zr,Ti)O3. In case of La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 a strain-induced transition from the known ferromagnetic phase to a magnetically less ordered spinglas-like phase is observed. No indications for an effect on the Co spin state are found. In epitaxial SrRuO3 films tensile strain is causing a structural phase transition from the bulk-like orthorhombic structure to an out-of-plane oriented tetragonal phase. The magnetic easy axis is in the film plane. Reversible strain experiments show a significant effect on the ferromagnetic ordering temperature and point to a small change of the magnetic moment. The strain effect on the electric transport properties is also determined. Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 as a standard ferroelectric material is used to study the influence of biaxial strain on the ferroelectric switching behaviour of thin films for the first time. At small electric fields the measurements reveal the typical signs of creep-like domain wall motion caused by wall pinning. In this regime the switching process is accelerated strongly under piezo-compression. For higher electric fields a transition of the domain wall motion to the depinning regime is observed. Here, the switching kinetics is slowed down moderately by compressive strain.:1 Einführung 1.1 Motivation 1.2 Methodik 1.3 Übersicht 2 Probenherstellung und -charakterisierung 2.1 Gepulste Laserdeposition 2.1.1 Prinzip 2.1.2 Aufbau 2.1.3 RHEED 2.1.4 Optimierung des Schichtwachstums 2.1.5 Targets 2.1.6 Substrate 2.2 Röntgendiffraktion 2.2.1 Röntgenmethoden 2.2.2 Röntgenreflektometrie 2.3 SQUID-Magnetometrie 2.4 Rasterkraftmikroskopie 2.5 Transportmessungen 2.6 Elektrische Polarisationsmessungen 3 PMN-PT 3.1 PMN-PT als piezoelektrisches Dünnschicht-Substrat 3.2 PMN-PT als Piezoaktuator 3.3 Temperaturabhängigkeit der Piezodehnung 3.4 Dehnungsübertragung in die Schicht 4 Puffersysteme 4.1 Motivation 4.2 LaAlxSc1−xO3 4.3 BaxSr1−xTiO3 5 Dehnungseinfluss auf ferromagnetische Filme - La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 5.1 Grundlagen zu La1−xSrxCoO3 5.1.1 Struktur 5.1.2 Spinzustand 5.1.3 Magnetische Wechselwirkungen / Doppelaustausch 5.1.4 Phasendiagramm / magnetische Phasenseparation 5.2 Messungen 5.2.1 Gitter- und Mikrostruktur 5.2.2 Curie-Temperatur 5.2.3 Magnetoelastischer Effekt 5.2.4 Magnetisierungsschleifen 5.2.5 elektrischer Transport 5.3 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 6 Dehnungseinfluss auf ferromagnetische Filme - SrRuO3 6.1 Grundlagen zu SrRuO3 6.1.1 Struktur 6.1.2 Magnetismus 6.1.3 Elektrischer Transport 6.2 Messungen 6.2.1 Gitter- und Mikrostruktur 6.2.2 Magnetismus 6.2.3 Elektrischer Transport 6.3 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 7 Dehnungseinfluss auf ferroelektrische Filme - PbZr1−xTixO3 7.1 Grundlagen 7.1.1 PbZr1−xTixO3 7.1.2 Elektrische Polarisation 7.1.3 Koerzitivfeld 7.1.4 Domänendynamik 7.2 Messungen 7.2.1 Gitterstruktur 7.2.2 Standardcharakterisierung: Dehnungseinfluss auf die remanente Polarisation Pr und das Koerzitivfeld EC 7.2.2.1 Statische Messungen 7.2.2.2 Dehnungsmessungen 7.2.3 PUND-Messungen: Dehnungseinfluss auf die charakteristische Schaltzeit tsw 7.3 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 8 Zusammenfassung
