Abstract

Phononic crystal (PnC) in half-space allows anisotropic propagation and band gaps for surface acoustic wave (SAW) and promise applications such as filters and reflectors. For the feasible MEMS fabrication, a PnC comprised of cylindrical holes in a SiO2 layer covering a 128°rotated Y-cut LiNbO3 substrate was applied and the acoustic modes were analyzed numerically. The band gap for SAW was indicated and the PnC was used as reflective gratings to construct SAW resonators. By tuning the cavity length, the resonant frequency was controlled. Then a ladder-type bandpass filter at 933-947 MHz was defined by two phononic SAW resonators. The result showed feasibility of applying PnC in acoustic electronics devices.
