Zusammenfassung:A method for manufacturing an acoustic device includes providing a substrate, providing a bottom electrode over the substrate, providing a sacrificial layer on the bottom electrode, patterning the bottom electrode and the sacrificial layer, polishing the sacrificial layer such that a portion of the sacrificial layer remains on the bottom electrode, and removing the remaining portion of the sacrificial layer via a cleaning process such that a surface roughness of the bottom electrode is maintained. By performing the polishing such that a portion of the sacrificial layer remains on the bottom electrode and subsequently removing that portion of the sacrificial layer via a cleaning process that maintains the surface roughness of the bottom electrode, the subsequent growth of a piezoelectric layer on the bottom electrode can be substantially improved.
