Abstract

In this study, a LiNbO 3-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator was directly integrated with a CMOS sustaining amplifier by new wafer-bonding-based integration technology. The developed integration technology has overcome large thermal expansion mismatch between LiNbO 3 (15-17 ppm/K along a-axis) and Si (2.6 ppm/K) by temporal wafer supporting and low-temperature Au-Au bonding. Two kinds of bonding, UV polymer bonding for temporal wafer supporting and Au-Au bonding following plasma surface activation, are key process technologies. A 500 MHz one-chip SAW oscillator was prototyped and evaluated. A low phase noise of -160 dBc/Hz at 500 kHz offset was achieved.
