Aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN) on silicon refers to the deposition of a thin AlScN on a silicon substrate. This process involves growing a layer of AlScN material on the surface of a sapphire wafer using techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) or metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN) is a a wide-band gap semiconductor material composed of aluminum (Al), scandium (Sc), and nitrogen (N). Due to its excellent piezoelectric and acoustic properties, it is an ideal material for high-frequency acoustic devices. It is considered as the most promising substrate for 5G radio frequency SAW/BAW filters.
