Abstract
A MEMS bulk wave acoustic bandgap has been designed and experimentally verified. The acoustic bandgaps are realized by including tungsten (W) scatterers in a SiO2 matrix. Wide frequency ranges where acoustic waves are forbidden to exist are formed due to the large density and acoustic impedance mismatch between W and SiO2. The acoustic bandgap structures are fabricated in a 7-mask process that features integrated aluminum nitride piezoelectric couplers. Acoustic bandgaps in a square lattice have been measured at 33 and 67 MHz with up to 35 dB of acoustic rejection and bandwidths exceeding 35% of the midgap.Keywords
