- FIG. 1B is an expanded view of FIG. 1A along the Z-axis. in:
- the material of the substrate 100 is usually single crystal silicon.
- the boss structure 101 is located on the surface of the substrate 100 and is usually formed by using the material of the substrate itself, and is used to elevate the quartz wafer so that the core working part is suspended.
- the contact layer 102 is located on the boss structure 101 .
- the lower electrode metal layer 110 is located on the lower surface of the quartz wafer 120, and the material of which is usually selected from gold, silver, titanium, tungsten, chromium, aluminum, molybdenum, and the like. Further, the lower electrode metal layer 110 may include a lower electrode 110a, a lower electrode wire 110b and a lower pin 110c. The electrode metal layer 110 may further include a lower contact 110d, and the lower contact 110d may function as an electrical connection to lead out electrical signals of the lower electrode.
- the quartz wafer 120 is made by cutting artificial quartz according to a certain crystal direction, and can be divided into a quartz wafer main body 120a and a through hole 120b.
- the through hole 120b can realize electrical connection between the upper and lower surface contacts of the quartz wafer main body 120a through metallization. After steps such as thinning, the final thickness of the quartz wafer 120 ranges from 0.1 micrometers to 50 micrometers.
- the upper electrode metal layer 130 is located on the upper surface of the quartz wafer 120, and the material of which is usually selected from gold, silver, titanium, tungsten, chromium, aluminum, molybdenum, and the like. Further, the upper electrode metal layer 130 may include an upper electrode 130a, an upper electrode wire 130b and an upper pin 130c.
- the reinforcement structure 140 covers the surface of the wafer 120 and part of the metal layer 130 , and may be a single-layer structure or a double-layer structure, which will be described in detail in the subsequent views.
- FIG. 1C is a top view of the structure of FIG. 1A
- FIG. 1D is a cross-sectional view taken along line A1 - A2 of FIG. 1C
- the package lid structure 200 is also shown in FIG. 1D
- the material of the package cover 200 is usually monocrystalline silicon, and the material of the bonding layer can be selected from gold, indium, tin, copper, germanium, aluminum, and the like.
- the cavity structure formed by the substrate 100 and the package cover 200 and the area not covered by the reinforcement structure 140 (ie the window inside the reinforcement structure 140 ) are communicated, which is beneficial to air pressure balance and the structural reliability of the device is higher.
- a bottom contact layer 105 is provided on the lower surface of the substrate 100 , and the bottom contact layer 105 is connected to the vias 103 located in the substrate 100 and the boss structures 101 through metallization
- the contact layer 102 on the upper surface of the mesa structure 101 is attached to the lower contact 110d on the lower surface of the quartz wafer 120 through a bonding process.
- the reason why the lower contact 110d is connected to the contact layer 102 here instead of having the lower contact 110d directly connected to the metal in the via 103 is that the lower contact 110d is bonded to the contact layer 102 with a higher connection reliability.
- a part of the contact layer 102 is deposited and attached to the sidewall of the through hole 120b located in the quartz wafer 120 and connected to the upper pin 130c located on the upper surface of the quartz wafer 120 at the opening of the through hole 120b, and the upper pin 130c is connected to the upper electrode 130a through the upper electrode wire 130b, thus forming an electrical connection from the bottom contact layer 105 to the upper electrode 130a.
- the connection between the lower electrode 110a and the bottom contact layer 105 on the lower surface of the substrate 100 is similar to that described above, except that the electrical connection does not need to pass through the through hole 120b, but is connected from the lower electrode 110a in FIG. 1B through the lower electrode wire 110b.
- the lower pin 110c is then connected to the metal and bottom contact layer 105 in the other through hole 103 in FIG. 1D through the contact layer 102 located at the lower part of the lower pin 110c.
- the through hole 103 in FIG. 1D can also be disposed inside the package ring of the package cover 200, and the bottom contact layer 105 is transferred to the upper surface of the package cover 200, so that the lower part of the through hole 103 can be connected to the key
- the bonding layer 210 is connected to the upper part, and the upper part is connected to 105.
- additional connecting wires or metal layers connect the contact layer 102 and the bonding layer 104, and the electrical connection between the external contacts and the upper and lower electrodes of the quartz wafer can also be realized.
- the total thickness of the piezoelectric film and electrodes of the quartz material in the resonance region of the quartz resonator is generally less than 50um, only and usually only supports at the contacts at the ends of the wires, and most of the regions are in a floating state. Therefore, without the reinforcement structure 140, the stress accumulated in the substrate 100 is easily conducted to the quartz wafer body 120a via the boss structure 101 and the contact layer 102, the lower pins 110c and the lower contacts 110d. Since the vibrational frequency of the quartz material is stress-strain sensitive, it can cause the quartz vibrational frequency to drift, which affects the resonator performance. In addition, when subjected to external mechanical shock and vibration, the quartz wafer 120 may also be cracked or even broken, thereby causing device damage.
- the reinforcement structure 140 can effectively improve the rigidity of the quartz wafer 120, thereby effectively blocking the conduction of strain to the quartz wafer 120, or reducing the deformation caused by the stress conducted to the quartz wafer 120, thereby enhancing the frequency stability of the resonator, and also can The possibility of damage of the quartz wafer 120 under the impact of external force is significantly reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the device. It is worth noting here that the reinforcement structure 140 does not cover the upper and lower electrode regions of the resonator, so it hardly affects the working state of the effective region of the resonator.
- the reinforcement structure 140 may have a single-layer structure or a double-layer structure.
- the reinforcement structure 140 adopts a double-layer structure, but this is not intended to limit the number of layers that can actually be used, but is only for illustration.
- the reinforcement structure 140 in which the double-layer structure is designed includes a flat bonding layer 140 a adjacent to the quartz wafer 120 and a reinforcement support layer 140 b away from the quartz wafer 120 .
- the material of the flat bonding layer 140a may be a dielectric layer such as silicon dioxide or metal oxide or polycrystalline silicon, and the material of the reinforcing support layer 140b may be quartz or single crystal silicon.
- the double boss structure support design shown in FIG. 1E can also be used.
- two boss structures 101 are arranged on the left and right sides of the center of gravity of the quartz wafer 120 (this is different from the case where the boss structure 101 shown in FIG. 1D is provided on one side of the center of gravity of the quartz wafer 120 ) ), such a structure has better stability.
- the reinforcement structure 140 can also be placed on the lower surface of the quartz wafer 120, so that the quartz wafer 120 can be kept away from the boss structure 101, and the reinforcement structure 140 can be blocked between the quartz wafer 120 and the boss structure 101, Thereby, the influence of strain on the quartz wafer 120 is further reduced.
- the reinforcement structure 140 covers at least the area occupied by the lower lead 110c and the upper lead 130c in plan view, and does not invade the area occupied by the lower electrode 110a and the upper electrode 130a. Based on this design principle, the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2A-2H are given, which are only used for illustration and are not intended to limit the possibility of specific implementations.
- the left upper and lower outer boundaries of the reinforcement structure 140 are substantially coincident with the edge of the quartz wafer 120 , and the right outer boundary of the reinforcement structure 140 is aligned with the lower contact 110 c and the upper contact
- the right borders of point 130c substantially coincide.
- the boundary of the inner window of the reinforcement structure 140 is substantially coincident with the lower electrode 110a and the upper electrode 130a. Obviously, the position of the outer boundary on the right side of the reinforcement structure 140 in FIG.
- the above outer boundary can be continuously translated to the right, so that the reinforcement structure 140 covers more area of the quartz wafer 120 , one of the special cases is
- the right outer boundary of the reinforcement structure 140 substantially coincides with the right outer boundary of the quartz wafer 120 .
- the remaining three boundaries of the reinforcement structure 140 can also be continuously indented inwardly, so that a gap is formed between the boundary of the reinforcement structure 140 and the boundary of the quartz wafer 120 .
- FIG. 2B shows the coverage of the reinforcement structure 140 on the top view corresponding to FIG. 1E .
- the upper and lower boundaries of the reinforcement structure 140 are coincident with the boundaries of the quartz wafer 120, and the left and right boundaries of the reinforcement structure 140 are respectively coincident with the left boundary of the lower contact 110c and the right boundary of the upper contact 130c.
- the above boundary can also be changed according to the description of the embodiment of FIG. 1A .

Description
本发明涉及谐振器技术领域,具体涉及一种具有加固结构的石英谐振器及其形成方法,以及一种电子设备。The present invention relates to the technical field of resonators, in particular to a quartz resonator with a reinforced structure, a method for forming the same, and an electronic device.
石英晶体谐振器(Quartz Crystal Resonator)是一类利用石英晶体压电效应工作的电子元器件,是振荡器、滤波器等电子器件中的关键元件,在稳频、选频和精密计时方面具有突出的优势和广泛的应用。当前发展趋势要求石英谐振器拥有更高的谐振频率(如大于40MHz)以及更好的抗机械冲击稳定性和可靠性;由于频率较高,利用传统方式仅靠刻蚀石英基底难以形成较薄的石英谐振区域已到达较高的目标频率,利用MEMS工艺制作石英薄膜则更有利于制作高频石英谐振器。另一方面,当石英薄膜较薄时,外部应力(如来自基底的应力)更容易传递到石英薄膜谐振区域从而影响谐振器的频率稳定性;同时,当石英薄膜较薄时,谐振器更容易受到机械冲击和环境振动的影响,其可靠性和低频石英谐振器相比进一步恶化。急需寻找一种结构设计和制作方法,一方面能够满足石英谐振器高谐振频率的要求,同时能够满足外部应力、抗机械冲击稳定性和可靠性的要求。Quartz Crystal Resonator (Quartz Crystal Resonator) is a kind of electronic components that use the piezoelectric effect of quartz crystals. It is a key component in electronic devices such as oscillators and filters. It has outstanding performance in frequency stabilization, frequency selection and precision timing. advantages and wide application. The current development trend requires quartz resonators to have higher resonant frequencies (such as greater than 40MHz) and better mechanical shock resistance and reliability; due to the high frequency, it is difficult to form thinner resonators by etching the quartz substrate by traditional methods. The quartz resonant region has reached a higher target frequency, and the use of MEMS technology to make a quartz film is more conducive to making high-frequency quartz resonators. On the other hand, when the quartz film is thinner, the external stress (such as the stress from the substrate) is more easily transmitted to the resonance region of the quartz film and thus affects the frequency stability of the resonator; at the same time, when the quartz film is thinner, the resonator is easier to Affected by mechanical shock and environmental vibration, its reliability is further deteriorated compared to low frequency quartz resonators. There is an urgent need to find a structural design and fabrication method, which can meet the requirements of high resonance frequency of quartz resonators on the one hand, and can meet the requirements of external stress, mechanical shock resistance stability and reliability at the same time.

FIG. 1B is an expanded view of FIG. 1A along the Z-axis. in:
基底100,材料通常为单晶硅。The material of the substrate 100 is usually single crystal silicon.
凸台结构101位于基底100表面,通常利用基底自身材料形成,用于垫高石英晶片从而使核心工作部分悬空。The boss structure 101 is located on the surface of the substrate 100 and is usually formed by using the material of the substrate itself, and is used to elevate the quartz wafer so that the core working part is suspended.

In fact, there are also metallized vias buried inside the substrate 100 and the boss structures 101 below the contact layer 102 , and these structures are not shown in FIG. 1B .
下电极金属层110位于石英晶片120下表面,通常其材料可以选金、银、钛、钨、铬、铝、钼等等。进一步的,该下电极金属层110可以包括下电极110a、下电极导线110b以及下引脚110c。电极金属层110还可以包括下触点110d,下触点110d可以起电学连接的作用,将下电极电信号引出。The lower electrode metal layer 110 is located on the lower surface of the quartz wafer 120, and the material of which is usually selected from gold, silver, titanium, tungsten, chromium, aluminum, molybdenum, and the like. Further, the lower electrode metal layer 110 may include a lower electrode 110a, a lower electrode wire 110b and a lower pin 110c. The electrode metal layer 110 may further include a lower contact 110d, and the lower contact 110d may function as an electrical connection to lead out electrical signals of the lower electrode.
石英晶片120由人造石英按照一定晶向切割制成,可以分为石英晶片主体120a和通孔120b。其中通孔120b通过金属化可实现石英晶片主体 120a上下表面触点的电学连接。通过减薄等步骤后,最终石英晶片120的厚度范围在0.1微米至50微米之间。The quartz wafer 120 is made by cutting artificial quartz according to a certain crystal direction, and can be divided into a quartz wafer main body 120a and a through hole 120b. The through hole 120b can realize electrical connection between the upper and lower surface contacts of the quartz wafer main body 120a through metallization. After steps such as thinning, the final thickness of the quartz wafer 120 ranges from 0.1 micrometers to 50 micrometers.
上电极金属层130位于石英晶片120上表面,通常其材料可以选金、银、钛、钨、铬、铝、钼等等。进一步的,该上电极金属层130可以包括上电极130a、上电极导线130b以及上引脚130c。The upper electrode metal layer 130 is located on the upper surface of the quartz wafer 120, and the material of which is usually selected from gold, silver, titanium, tungsten, chromium, aluminum, molybdenum, and the like. Further, the upper electrode metal layer 130 may include an upper electrode 130a, an upper electrode wire 130b and an upper pin 130c.
加固结构140覆盖于晶片120和部分金属层130表面,可为单层结构或者双层结构,将在后续视图中详细说明。The reinforcement structure 140 covers the surface of the wafer 120 and part of the metal layer 130 , and may be a single-layer structure or a double-layer structure, which will be described in detail in the subsequent views.
图1C是图1A结构的俯视图,而图1D是图1C沿直线A1-A2剖开得到的剖视图。图1D中还示出了封装盖结构200,以及用于键合封装盖200和基底100的键合层104和210。封装盖200的材料通常为单晶硅,键合层材料可选金、铟、锡、铜、锗、铝等。1C is a top view of the structure of FIG. 1A , and FIG. 1D is a cross-sectional view taken along line A1 - A2 of FIG. 1C . Also shown in FIG. 1D is the package lid structure 200 , as well as the bonding layers 104 and 210 used to bond the package lid 200 and the substrate 100 . The material of the package cover 200 is usually monocrystalline silicon, and the material of the bonding layer can be selected from gold, indium, tin, copper, germanium, aluminum, and the like.
基底100与封装盖200组成的空腔结构和加固结构140未覆盖的区域(即加固结构140内部的窗口)是连通的,这样有利于气压平衡,器件的结构可靠性更高。The cavity structure formed by the substrate 100 and the package cover 200 and the area not covered by the reinforcement structure 140 (ie the window inside the reinforcement structure 140 ) are communicated, which is beneficial to air pressure balance and the structural reliability of the device is higher.
在图1D中,由下到上,在基底100的下表面设置有底部触点层105,底部触点层105通过位于基底100和凸台结构101中的金属化的通孔103连接至位于凸台结构101上表面上的触点层102,而触点层102通过键合工艺与位于石英晶片120下表面的下触点110d相贴合。此处使下触点110d与触点层102相连接而不是让下触点110d直接与通孔103中的金属相连的原因是:下触点110d与触点层102键合具有更高的连接可靠性。In FIG. 1D , from bottom to top, a bottom contact layer 105 is provided on the lower surface of the substrate 100 , and the bottom contact layer 105 is connected to the vias 103 located in the substrate 100 and the boss structures 101 through metallization The contact layer 102 on the upper surface of the mesa structure 101 is attached to the lower contact 110d on the lower surface of the quartz wafer 120 through a bonding process. The reason why the lower contact 110d is connected to the contact layer 102 here instead of having the lower contact 110d directly connected to the metal in the via 103 is that the lower contact 110d is bonded to the contact layer 102 with a higher connection reliability.
进一步,触点层102的一部分沉积附着在位于石英晶片120中的通孔120b的侧壁上并且在通孔120b上开口处与位于石英晶片120上表面的上引脚130c相连,而上引脚130c通过上电极导线130b与上电极130a相连,这样便形成了从底部触点层105到上电极130a的电学连接。而下电极110a与基底100下表面的底部触点层105的连接方式与之前所述类似,只是该电学连接无需通过通孔120b,而是由图1B中的下电极110a通过下电极导线110b到下引脚110c,再由下引脚110c经过位于下引脚110c下部的触 点层102连接到图1D中另一通孔103中金属和底部触点层105。此处可选的,图1D中的通孔103也可设置于封装盖200的封装环内部,并将底部触点层105转移至封装盖200的上表面,这样使通孔103下部能够连接键合层210,上部连接105,同时附加连接引线或金属层使触点层102和键合层104相连,同样也可以实现外部触点与石英晶片的上下电极的电学连接。Further, a part of the contact layer 102 is deposited and attached to the sidewall of the through hole 120b located in the quartz wafer 120 and connected to the upper pin 130c located on the upper surface of the quartz wafer 120 at the opening of the through hole 120b, and the upper pin 130c is connected to the upper electrode 130a through the upper electrode wire 130b, thus forming an electrical connection from the bottom contact layer 105 to the upper electrode 130a. The connection between the lower electrode 110a and the bottom contact layer 105 on the lower surface of the substrate 100 is similar to that described above, except that the electrical connection does not need to pass through the through hole 120b, but is connected from the lower electrode 110a in FIG. 1B through the lower electrode wire 110b. The lower pin 110c is then connected to the metal and bottom contact layer 105 in the other through hole 103 in FIG. 1D through the contact layer 102 located at the lower part of the lower pin 110c. Optionally, the through hole 103 in FIG. 1D can also be disposed inside the package ring of the package cover 200, and the bottom contact layer 105 is transferred to the upper surface of the package cover 200, so that the lower part of the through hole 103 can be connected to the key The bonding layer 210 is connected to the upper part, and the upper part is connected to 105. At the same time, additional connecting wires or metal layers connect the contact layer 102 and the bonding layer 104, and the electrical connection between the external contacts and the upper and lower electrodes of the quartz wafer can also be realized.
由于石英谐振器谐振区域的的石英材料的压电薄膜和电极的总厚度一般在50um以下,仅且通常仅在导线末端的触点处具有支撑,绝大部分区域处于悬空状态。因此,在没有加固结构140状态下,积累在基底100中的应力很容易经由凸台结构101和触点层102、下引脚110c及下触点110d传导至石英晶片主体120a上。由于石英材料的振动频率对应力应变敏感,因此会导致石英振动频率发生飘移,从而影响谐振器性能。此外,当受到外界机械冲击震动时,石英晶片120还可能出现裂痕甚至断裂,从而导致器件损毁。加固结构140可以有效提高石英晶片120的刚性,从而有效阻绝应变向石英晶片120的传导,或是降低传导至石英晶片120上的应力造成的形变,从而增强谐振器的频率稳定性,同时也可以显著降低石英晶片120在外力冲击下损坏的可能性,从而提高器件的可靠性。此处值得注意的是,加固结构140并未覆盖谐振器的上下电极区域,因此几乎不会影响到谐振器有效区的工作状态。加固结构140可具有单层结构或双层结构,在本文中的实施例中加固结构140均采用了双层结构,但这并不是用于限定实际可以使用的层数,仅作为示意说明。在图1D及后文中设计双层结构的加固结构140中,包括邻近石英晶片120的平坦键合层140a和远离石英晶片120的加固支撑层140b。平坦键合层140a的材料可以二氧化硅、金属氧化物等介质层或多晶硅,加固支撑层140b的材料可选石英或单晶硅。Since the total thickness of the piezoelectric film and electrodes of the quartz material in the resonance region of the quartz resonator is generally less than 50um, only and usually only supports at the contacts at the ends of the wires, and most of the regions are in a floating state. Therefore, without the reinforcement structure 140, the stress accumulated in the substrate 100 is easily conducted to the quartz wafer body 120a via the boss structure 101 and the contact layer 102, the lower pins 110c and the lower contacts 110d. Since the vibrational frequency of the quartz material is stress-strain sensitive, it can cause the quartz vibrational frequency to drift, which affects the resonator performance. In addition, when subjected to external mechanical shock and vibration, the quartz wafer 120 may also be cracked or even broken, thereby causing device damage. The reinforcement structure 140 can effectively improve the rigidity of the quartz wafer 120, thereby effectively blocking the conduction of strain to the quartz wafer 120, or reducing the deformation caused by the stress conducted to the quartz wafer 120, thereby enhancing the frequency stability of the resonator, and also can The possibility of damage of the quartz wafer 120 under the impact of external force is significantly reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the device. It is worth noting here that the reinforcement structure 140 does not cover the upper and lower electrode regions of the resonator, so it hardly affects the working state of the effective region of the resonator. The reinforcement structure 140 may have a single-layer structure or a double-layer structure. In the embodiments herein, the reinforcement structure 140 adopts a double-layer structure, but this is not intended to limit the number of layers that can actually be used, but is only for illustration. In FIG. 1D and the following, the reinforcement structure 140 in which the double-layer structure is designed includes a flat bonding layer 140 a adjacent to the quartz wafer 120 and a reinforcement support layer 140 b away from the quartz wafer 120 . The material of the flat bonding layer 140a may be a dielectric layer such as silicon dioxide or metal oxide or polycrystalline silicon, and the material of the reinforcing support layer 140b may be quartz or single crystal silicon.
为了增强器件结构的可靠性,还可采用图1E中所示的双凸台结构支撑设计。在图1E所示的结构中,设置2个凸台结构101分居石英晶片120重心的左右两侧(这与图1D所示的凸台结构101设置在石英晶片120重 心的单侧的情况不相同),这样的结构具有更好的稳定性。In order to enhance the reliability of the device structure, the double boss structure support design shown in FIG. 1E can also be used. In the structure shown in FIG. 1E , two boss structures 101 are arranged on the left and right sides of the center of gravity of the quartz wafer 120 (this is different from the case where the boss structure 101 shown in FIG. 1D is provided on one side of the center of gravity of the quartz wafer 120 ) ), such a structure has better stability.
如图1F所示,加固结构140还可以置于石英晶片120的下表面,这样可以使石英晶片120远离凸台结构101,并使加固结构140阻隔在石英晶片120和凸台结构101之间,从而进一步减少应变对石英晶片120的影响。As shown in FIG. 1F , the reinforcement structure 140 can also be placed on the lower surface of the quartz wafer 120, so that the quartz wafer 120 can be kept away from the boss structure 101, and the reinforcement structure 140 can be blocked between the quartz wafer 120 and the boss structure 101, Thereby, the influence of strain on the quartz wafer 120 is further reduced.
根据本发明实施方式的具有加固结构的石英谐振器中,加固结构140在俯视图上至少覆盖下引脚110c和上引脚130c占据的区域,并且不侵入下电极110a和上电极130a占据的区域。基于该设计原则,给出如图2A-2H所示的实施例,仅作为示例说明,并不在于限制具体实施方式的可能性。In the quartz resonator with the reinforcement structure according to the embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcement structure 140 covers at least the area occupied by the lower lead 110c and the upper lead 130c in plan view, and does not invade the area occupied by the lower electrode 110a and the upper electrode 130a. Based on this design principle, the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2A-2H are given, which are only used for illustration and are not intended to limit the possibility of specific implementations.
图2A所示的覆盖区域实施例中,加固结构140的左侧上侧及下侧外边界与石英晶片120的边缘基本重合,而加固结构140的右侧外边界与下触点110c和上触点130c的右侧边界基本重合。而加固结构140的内部窗口的边界与下电极110a和上电极130a基本重合。显然,图2A中的加固结构140右侧外边界的位置还可以发生变化,例如上述外边界可以连续向右侧平移,以使加固结构140覆盖更多的石英晶片120区域,其中一种特例是加固结构140的右侧外边界与石英晶片120的右侧边界基本重合。类似的,加固结构140的其余3个边界也可以连续向内缩进,从而使加固结构140的边界与石英晶片120的边界之间形成间隙。In the coverage area embodiment shown in FIG. 2A , the left upper and lower outer boundaries of the reinforcement structure 140 are substantially coincident with the edge of the quartz wafer 120 , and the right outer boundary of the reinforcement structure 140 is aligned with the lower contact 110 c and the upper contact The right borders of point 130c substantially coincide. The boundary of the inner window of the reinforcement structure 140 is substantially coincident with the lower electrode 110a and the upper electrode 130a. Obviously, the position of the outer boundary on the right side of the reinforcement structure 140 in FIG. 2A can also be changed, for example, the above outer boundary can be continuously translated to the right, so that the reinforcement structure 140 covers more area of the quartz wafer 120 , one of the special cases is The right outer boundary of the reinforcement structure 140 substantially coincides with the right outer boundary of the quartz wafer 120 . Similarly, the remaining three boundaries of the reinforcement structure 140 can also be continuously indented inwardly, so that a gap is formed between the boundary of the reinforcement structure 140 and the boundary of the quartz wafer 120 .
图2B中给出的是加固结构140在图1E对应的俯视图上的覆盖情况。其中加固结构140的上下边界与石英晶片120边界重合,而加固结构140的左右边界分别与下触点110c的左边界以及上触点130c的右边界重合。显然上述边界也可以按照图1A实施例的描述发生变化。例如加固结构140的左/右边界可以连续向左/右移动直至石英晶片的左右边缘等。FIG. 2B shows the coverage of the reinforcement structure 140 on the top view corresponding to FIG. 1E . The upper and lower boundaries of the reinforcement structure 140 are coincident with the boundaries of the quartz wafer 120, and the left and right boundaries of the reinforcement structure 140 are respectively coincident with the left boundary of the lower contact 110c and the right boundary of the upper contact 130c. Obviously, the above boundary can also be changed according to the description of the embodiment of FIG. 1A . For example, the left/right boundary of the reinforcement structure 140 may be continuously moved left/right until the left and right edges of the quartz wafer, and the like.
图2C所示的覆盖区域实施例中,加固结构140的窗口141边界不再与上电极130a的边缘重合,此时窗口141尺寸大于电极,从而使窗口141 边界与电极边缘之间形成了间隙。In the coverage area embodiment shown in FIG. 2C , the boundary of the window 141 of the reinforcement structure 140 no longer coincides with the edge of the upper electrode 130a, and the size of the window 141 is larger than that of the electrode, so that a gap is formed between the boundary of the window 141 and the edge of the electrode.
图2D所示的覆盖区域实施例中,加固结构140的内部的窗口141的右侧边界移动至与下触点110c和上触点130c的左侧边缘重合。In the footprint embodiment shown in FIG. 2D, the right edge of the window 141 inside the reinforcement structure 140 is moved to coincide with the left edge of the lower contact 110c and the upper contact 130c.
图2E所示的覆盖区域实施例中,移除了窗口141左侧的加固材料。In the footprint embodiment shown in Figure 2E, the reinforcement material to the left of window 141 has been removed.
图2F所示的覆盖区域实施例中,进一步移除了下触点110c和上触点130c之间的加固材料。In the footprint embodiment shown in Figure 2F, the reinforcement material between the lower contact 110c and the upper contact 130c is further removed.
图2G所示的覆盖区域实施例中,可进一步移除窗口141上下方的加固材料,但保留下触点110c和上触点130c之间的加固材料。In the coverage area embodiment shown in FIG. 2G, the reinforcement material above and below the window 141 may be further removed, but the reinforcement material between the lower contact 110c and the upper contact 130c is retained.
图2H所示的覆盖区域实施例中,加固结构140仅覆盖下触点110c和上触点130c。In the coverage area embodiment shown in FIG. 2H, the reinforcement structure 140 only covers the lower contact 110c and the upper contact 130c.
