In addition, referring to embodiment 2, the vertical stacking of the filter module and the integrated circuit module can be realized without adding an additional polymer layer, thereby further reducing the overall area.

A first end of the second metal layer 701 is connected to the second electronic component 402 via a metal hole, and a second end of the second metal layer 701 is directly connected to the top electrode 303 via a second metal interconnect 702. The first insulating structure 801 and the second insulating structure 802 are distributed on both sides of the bottom bragg reflector layer 305. The first insulating structure 801 is used to isolate the bottom bragg reflective layer 305 from the first metal interconnect 602, and the second insulating structure 802 is used to isolate the bottom bragg reflective layer 305 and the piezoelectric layer 302 from the second metal interconnect 702. The flexible packaging structure 500 is in a unitary form. Wherein 500 is filled with a material easy to dissipate heat, so as to ensure the mechanical strength of the whole system and improve the heat dissipation capability. Because the Bragg reflection layer is adopted to replace a cavity structure, the acoustic reflection conditions of the upper surface and the lower surface of the resonator are provided, so that the upper surface and the lower surface of the resonator do not need cavities in the embodiment, and the difficulty of a bottom cavity and packaging is reduced.
In addition, referring to embodiment 2, the vertical stacking of the filter module and the integrated circuit module can be realized without adding an additional polymer layer, thereby further reducing the overall area.
The above-described embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can occur, depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
