Abstract

This work presents an improved design that exploits dispersion matching to suppress the lateral spurious modes in the thin-film lithium niobate first-order antisymmetric Lamb wave mode (A1) resonators. The dispersion matching in this work is achieved by micro-machining the lithium niobate thin film to balance the electrical and mechanical loading of electrodes. The fabricated devices based on the proposed method exhibit spurious-free responses with a maximum Q{3dB} of 692 and k{t}{}-{2} of 28%. The demonstrated method herein could overcome a significant hurdle that is currently impeding the commercialization of A1 devices.
