The technology was developed in cooperation with FORTH Heraklion and TU Darmstadt
Top optical photo of the active area of the experimental F-BAR structure. The gold area around the top electrode is the bottom metallization of the FBAR. It is seen from the top-side because the membrane is transparent.
Return losses vs frequency for the GaN membrane supported FBAR structure
