Piezoelectric ZnO and PZT films for acoustic wave device have been investigated. The films used for acoustic wave devices require textured structure, high piezoelectric coefficients, and high electromechanical coupling coefficients, because the piezoelectric films launch and receive the acoustic wave. We fabricated ZnO films by RF magnetron sputtering, and PZT films by chemical solution deposition (CSD). Results showed that uniform, dense and highly textured films were obtained under optimal process parameters. The film texture was controlled by modifying process parameters, such as gas kinds, gas ratio, and substrate type for sputtered ZnO films, and the presence of chelating agent, temperature of heat treatment, and substrate type for solution derived PZT films. Flexural plate wave (FPW) device has been successfully integrated onto 4-inch silicon wafers with optimized piezoelectric films.
