Temperature effects on the propagation characteristics of Love waves along multi-guide layers of Sio2/Su-8 on St-90°X quartz

Abstract

Theoretical calculations have been performed on the temperature effects on the propagation characteristics of Love waves in layered structures by solving the coupled electromechanical field equations, and the optimal design parameters were extracted for temperature stability improvement. Based on the theoretical analysis, excellent temperature coefficient of frequency (Tcf) of the fabricated Love wave devices with guide layers of SU-8/SiO2 on ST-90°X quartz substrate is evaluated experimentally as only 2.16 ppm. © 2012 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
