Abstract(in English) LiNbO3 have been used for the SAW filters because of their high Q and k. However, LiNbO3 filter have not used in the BAW industry because thickness extensional mode kt2 in the c-axis oriented LiNbO3, which can be grown in the standard sputtering process, is significantly low compared with quasi-shear mode k352 in the bulk 180°Y-cut LiNbO3 and 147°Y-cut LiNbO3. Therefore, the mechanical thinning of bulk LiNbO3 single crystal plate has been used to fabricate the thin single crystalline layer for BAW resonators. However, wafer size of these top-down process is limited to 6 inch because the size of the bulk LiNbO3 single crystal wafer. In contrast, bottom-up process such as sputtering growth is well-developed in the 8 inch wafer such as AlN films. In this study, we report the epitaxial growth of (10-12) LiNbO3 on epitaxial (11-20) Al doped conductive ZnO layer (AZO) / (10-12) Al2O3 substrate. Shear mode acoustic properties of the epitaxial (10-12) LiNbO3 film resonator were reported.
