Definitions
- the present invention relates to electrically tunable devices particularly for microwaves, which are based on a ferroelectric structure.
- WO 94/13028 discloses a tunable planar capacitor with ferroelectric layers. However, the losses are high at microwave frequencies.
- US-A-5 640 042 shows another tunable varactor. Also in this case the losses are too high Losses across the interface dielectric material-conductor are produced which are high and furthermore the free surface between the conductors results in the ferroelectric material being exposed during processing (e.g. etching, patterning) which produce losses since the crystal structure can be damaged.
- What is needed is therefore a tunable microwave device having a high tuning range in combination with low losses at microwave frequencies.
- a device is also needed which has a quality factor at microwave frequencies such as for example up to 1000-2000.
- a device is also needed in which the ferroelectric layer is stabilized and a device which shows a performance which is stable with the time, i.e. the performance does not vary and become deteriorated with time.
- an electrically tunable device particularly for microwaves, is provided which comprises a carrier substrate, conducting means and at least one tunable ferroelectric layer. Between the/each (or at least a number of) conducting means and a tunable ferroelectric layer a buffer layer structure is provided which comprises a thin film structure comprising a non-ferroelectric material.
- the thin film structure comprises a thin non-ferroelectric layer.
- the thin film structure comprises a multi-layer structure including a number of non-ferroelectric layers.
- the ferroelectric layer is arranged on top of the carrier substrate and the non-ferroelectric thin film structure, including one or more layers, is arranged on top of the ferroelectric layer the conducting means in turn being arranged on top of the non-ferroelectric structure.
- the ferroelectric layer is arranged above the non-ferroelectric structure including one or more non- ferroelectric layers, which is arranged on top of the conducting means.
- the conducting means particularly comprise (at least) two longitudinally arranged electrodes between which electrodes or conductors a gap is provided.
- the non-ferroelectric structure is deposited in-situ on the ferroelectric layer or deposited ex-situ on the ferroelectric layer.
- the deposition of the non-ferroelectric layer may be performed using different techniques such as for examples laser deposition, sputtering, physical or chemical vapour deposition or through the use of sol-gel techniques. Of course also other techniques which are suitable can be used.
- the ferroelectric and the non-ferroelectric structures have lattice matching crystal structures.
- the non- ferroelectric structure is particularly arranged so as to cover also the gap between the conductors or the electrodes.
- the device comprises an electrically tunable capacitor or a varactor.
- the device in another embodiment includes two layers of ferroelectric material provided on each side of the carrier substrate and two conducting means, non-ferroelectric thin film structures being arranged between the respective ferroelectric and non-ferroelectric structures in such a way that the device forms a resonator.
- the device of the invention may comprise microwave filters or be used in microwave filters. Also devices such as phase shifters etc. can be provided using the inventive concept
- Fig 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a tunable device according to a first embodiment of the invention
- Fig 2 schematically illustrates a planar capacitor similar to the embodiment of Fig 1,
- Fig 3 shows a second embodiment of an inventive device
- Fig 4 shows still another embodiment in which a structure comprising alternating layers is used
- Fig 5 illustrates a fourth embodiment of a device according to the invention
- Fig 6 schematically illustrates an experimental dependence of the tunability as a function of the capacitance for a number of material thicknesses
- the invention devices are disclosed through which it is possible to achieve a high tunability in combination with low losses at microwave frequencies. In general terms this is achieved through a design in which a thin non-ferroelectric, dielectric layer (or layers) is (are) arranged between the conducting layer and a tunable ferroelectric layer.
- the non- ferroelectric layer will also act as a cover for the ferroelectric layer in the gap between the conducting means or the electrodes.
- the non-ferroelectric layer can be deposited "in-situ” or "ex-situ” on the ferroelectric layer by laser deposition, sputtering, physical vapour deposition, chemical vapour deposition, sol-gel or any other convenient technique.
- the non-ferroelectric layer should be oriented and have a good lattice match to the crystal structure of the ferroelectric layer. Further it should have low microwave losses.
- the non-ferroelectric layer structure may be a single layered structure or it may comprise a multilayered structure.
- Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a device 10 according to the invention which comprises a substrate 1 or which a ferroelectric material 2, which is tunable, is provided.
- a non-ferroelectric layer 4 is deposited, for example using any of the techniques as referred to above.
- Two conducting means comprising a first conductor or electrode 3A and a second conductor or electrode 3B are arranged on the non-ferroelectric layer 4. Between the first and second electrodes 3A, 3B there is a gap.
- the non-ferroelectric structure 4 covers the tunable ferroelectric structure 2 across the gap between the conductors
- the conducting means may include more than two electrodes e.g. one or more electrodes provided between the electrodes 3A,3B.
- Fig 2. shows an embodiment relating to a planar capacitor 20. Relating to this embodiment some figures are given relating to dimensions, values etc. which here of course only are given for illustrative purposes.
- a non- ferroelectric structure 4" here comprising a multiple of sublayers, are arranged on top of conducting electrodes, 3A' , 3B' which are arranged on substrate 1" .
- the non-ferroelectric multilayer structure is deposited on (below) a tunable ferroelectric material 2" .
- the functioning is substantially the same as that as described with reference to Fig. 1, only it is an inverted structure as the ferroelectric is arranged above the non-ferroelectric layer, i.e. above the electrodes.
- the non-ferroelectric layer comprises a multilayer structure.
- the non-ferroelectric structure may alternatively comprise a single layer.
- Fig 4 shows a tunable capacitor 40 in which a structure comprising ferroelectric layers 2A ⁇ , 2A 2 , 2A 3 and non- ferroelectric layers 4A ⁇ , 4A 2 , 4A 3 which are arranged in an alternating manner.
- the number of layers can of course be a y and is not limited to three of each kind as illustrated n F g. 4, the main thing being that a non-ferroelectric layer (here 4A : ) is arranged in contact with the conducting means 3A ⁇ , 3B ; also covering a ferroelectric layer (here 2A ⁇ ) in the gap between tr.e electrodes .
- Fig. 5 shows yet another device 50 in which first conducting means 3A 2 , 3B 2 in the form of electrodes are arranged on a non- ferroelectric layer 4C, which in turn is deposited on a ferroelectric, active, layer 2C. Below the ferroelectric layer 2C a further non-ferroelectric layer 4D is provided on the opposite side of which second conducting means 3A 3 , 3B 3 are arranged, which in turn are arranged on a substrate lC. Also in this case may an alternating structure as in Fig. 4 be used.
- non-ferroelectric material can be dielectric, but it does not have to be such a material. Still further it may be ferromagnetic.
- the active ferroelectric layer structure of any embodiment may for example comprise any of SrTi0 3 , BaTi0 3 , Ba x Sr ⁇ - x Ti0 3 , PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) as well as ferromagnetic materials.
- the buffer layer or the protective non-ferroelectric structure may e.g. comprise any of the following materials: Ce0 2 , MgO, YSZ (Ytterium Stabilized Zirconium) , LaA10 3 or any other nonconducting material with an appropriate crystal structure, for example PrBCO (PrBa 2 Cu 3 0 7 _ x ) , non-conductive YBa 2 Cu 3 0- x etc.
- the substrate may comprise LaAl0 3 , MgO, R-cut or M-cut sapphire, SiSrRu0 3 or any other convenient material. It should be clear that the lot of examples is not exhaustive and that also other possibilities exist.
- Fig. 6 the dynamic capacitance is illustrated as a function of the voltage for three different thicknesses of the non- ferroelectric buffer layer 4' which here is dielectric.
- the length of the planar capacitor is supposed to be 0.5 mm whereas the gap between the conductors 3A' , 3B' is 4 ⁇ m.
- a magnetic wall can be said to be formed between the substrate and the ferroelectric layer 2' .
- the capacitance is also illustrated for the case when there is no buffer layer between the conducting means and the ferroelectric layer, curve h 0 . This is thus supposed to illustrate how the tunability is reduced through the introduction of a buffer layer 4' for a number of thicknesses as compared to the case when there is no buffer layer. As can be seen the reduction in tunability is not significant .
- Fig. 7 shows the Q value for a capacitance depending on voltage when a buffer layer is provided, corresponding to the upper curve A, and the case when there is no buffer layer, corresponding to the lower curve B.
- the Q value for a capacitor is considerably increased through the introduction of a buffer layer.
- inventive concept can also be applied to resonators, such as for example the ones disclosed in "Tunable Microwave Devices" which is a Swedish patent application with application No. 9502137-4, by the same applicant, which hereby is incorporated herein by reference.
- inventive concept can also be used in microwave filters of different kinds. A number of other applications are of course also possible.
- the invention is not limited to the particularly illustrated embodiments but can be varied in a number of ways within the scope of the claims.
