C-axis-oriented ZnO thin films were successfully deposited on p-Si (100) in an RF magnetron sputtering system. Deposition conditions such as deposition power, working pressure, and oxygen gas ratio $O_2/(O_2+Ar)$ were varied. Crystalline structures of the deposited ZnO films were investigated by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) technique. Results show that the deposition parameters can have a strong impact on the preferred orientations and grain sizes of the deposited ZnO films.

In this article, piezoelectric films and their application for film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices are presented. The FBAR is composed of piezoelectric film sandwiched between top and bottom electrodes and an acoustic reflector of SiO2/W stacked multilayers. Various FBAR devices were fabricated and evaluated through simulation and measurement. The insertion loss, return loss and Q-factor were observed to be reasonably high and good. The FBAR technology seems very promising particularly for RF band filter application.

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of perovskite materials such as La modified $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ ceramics and $Pb(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3$ single crystals were investigated for cryogenic capacitor and actuator applications. Enhanced extrinsic contributions resulted in piezoelectric coefficient (d33) as high as 250 pC/N at 30 K, superior to that of PZT ($d_{33}$ ~ 100 pC/N). This cryogenic property enhancement was associated with retuning the MPB (or cryogenic temperatures. PZN-PT single crystals exhibited dramatic property improvements such as $d_{33}$ > 500 pC/N at 30 K as a result of an engineered domain state.

ZnO thin films on glass substrate were deposited by RF magnetron reactive sputtering at 100 W, 1.33 Pa, Ar/O2=50 : 50, 200$^{\circ}C$, and a target/substrate distance of 4 cm. Crystallinities, surface morphologies, chemical compositions, and electrical properties of the films were investigated by XRD, SEM, AFM, RBS, and electrometer. All films showed a strong preferred c-axis orientation and the chemical stoichiometry. The propagation velocity of ZnO/IDT/glass of single electrode and double electrode types SAW filter was about 2,589 m/sec, 2,533 m/sec and insertion loss was a minimum value of about -11 dB and -21 dB, respectively.

The characteristics of ZnO films are reported depending on different deposition conditions for film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs). The ZnO films have been deposited on Al films evaporated on p-type (100) silicon substrate by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique using a Nd:YAG laser. These films exhibit an electrical resistivity higher than $10^7$ $\Omega$m. X-ray diffraction measurements have shown that ZnO films are highly c-axis oriented with full width at half maximum (FWHM) below $0.5^{\circ}$. These results show the possibility of FBAR devices using by PLD.

Air-gap type film bulk acoustic wave resonator device using ZnO for piezoelectric layer and sacrifice layer, deposited by RF magnetron sputter with various conditions, fabricated in this study. Also, membrane$(SiO_2)$ and top and bottom electrode(both Al) of piezoelectric layer deposited by RF magnetron sputter. Using micro electro mechanical systems(MEMS) technique, sacrifice layer removed and then air-gap formed. The results of each process checked by XRD, AFM, SEM to obtain good quality device.

We present a new method for the fabrication of film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) devices that exploits the thin piezoelectric ZnO films particularly sputter-deposited in a mixture of N2O and Ar gases as the reactive and sputtering gases, respectively. Some thermal annealing treatments were performed on the as-deposited ZnO films and also their effects on the resonance characteristics of the FBAR devices were investigated. It was found that with an optimized process, the resonance characteristics of the fabricated FBAR devices could be further improved.
