A SAW resonator was simulated based on piezoelectric thin film of Aluminum Nitride (AlN) on passivated silicon (SiO 2 /Si) substrate. The SAW properties of AlN film on SiO 2 /Si were analyzed with two composite structures: (IDT)/AlN/SiO 2 /Si and AlN/(IDT)/SiO 2 /Si, and they revealed some good SAW properties. The maximum value of k 2 is almost same for both SAW modes with both IDT configurations, but on different values of tAlNλ and tSiO 2 λ. The results stipulate a theoretical basis for further application on high frequency SAW devices. The proposed SAW device based on AlN/SiO 2 /Si structure have potential applications in integrated sensing applications. © 2018 IEEE. %A M.Z. Aslam %A V. Jeoti %A S. Karuppanan %A A.F.
