By anodic oxidation of the edges of the portions of the Al film under photoresist, controllable gaps between electrodes with good insulation can be obtained. These techniques are applied to realize a surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) narrow gap interdigital transducer (NG-IDT) and narrow gap unidirectional transducer (NG-UDT). The experimental result shows 7.2 dB insertion loss with amplitude ripples of +/-1.2 dB for a conventional NG-IDT. Directives of 3-dB/transducer at 440 MHz (fundamental) and 13-dB transducer at 870 MHz (second-harmonic operation) for a new floating electrode type unidirectional transducer (NG-FEUDT) are demonstrated. Also a three transducer low loss filter using a combination of NG-IDT and NG-FEUDT exhibits 3.46 dB insertion loss at 894 MHz (second-harmonic operation, electrode width of 1.7 mum) with sidelobe suppression greater than 35 dB.
通过对光刻胶下铝膜部分边缘进行阳极氧化,可以获得具有良好绝缘性能的电极之间的可控间隙。这些技术被应用于实现表面声波(SAW)窄间隙叉指换能器(NG-IDT)和窄间隙单向换能器(NG-UDT)。实验结果表明,传统的NG-IDT插入损耗为7.2 dB,幅度纹波为±1.2 dB。对于新型浮动电极型单向换能器(NG-FEUDT),在440 MHz(基频)时的换能器指向性为3 dB,在870 MHz(二次谐波操作)时为13 dB。此外,使用NG-IDT和NG-FEUDT组合的三换能器低损耗滤波器在894 MHz(二次谐波操作,电极宽度为1.7μm)时的插入损耗为3.46 dB,旁瓣抑制大于35 dB。
