Abstract

Acoustomigration of metal structures is a phenomenon which may occur in Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices operating at high power levels. This deteriorates the performance or can even destroy the SAW device. Acoustomigration is caused by the stored acoustic energy, which can be very high in resonating structures with good quality factors. We extended our P-Matrix based model to calculate. the stored energy in arbitrary SAW structures. We present a method to calculate the total power distribution, and the kinetic and potential power and their relative position within the structure. We discuss the corresponding time, behavior in resonating and non-resonating structures; Acoustomigration patterns have been compared to the calculated results.
