Highly c -axis-oriented scandium-doped aluminium nitride films (ScAlN) were prepared on platinum substrates by DC magnetron sputtering. The effect of sputtering power on the crystal quality and piezoelectric properties of ScAlN thin film was investigated. The test results show that the piezoelectric properties of the ScAlN film first strengthen and then weaken with the increase of sputtering power, and the optimal piezoelectric properties are obtained under the condition of 180 W. Furthermore, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator with an interdigital transducer width of 500 nm was fabricated by electron beam lithography. The SAW device exhibits a resonant frequency of 1.887 GHz and a quality factor ( Q ) of 170.8.
