摘要:
The invention provides a surface acoustic wave device which uses an in-plane rotated ST cut quartz crystal plate around the Znull-axis, and which has a large reflection coefficient of the Rayleigh wave. Comb teeth-like IDT electrodes are provided and reflectors to trap the Rayleigh wave are provided on both sides of the IDT electrodes on the principal surface of the in-plane rotated ST cut quartz crystal plate. The electrode width and pitch at the IDT electrodes are defined as Lt, Pt, the width and pitch of short-circuit electrodes at the reflectors as Lr, Pr, and the thickness of the IDT electrodes and the short-circuit electrodes side as Ht and Hr. If the electrode widths and pitches are set up so that either or both of Lt/Pt and Lr/Pr become 0.32null0.1, this enables maximizing the reflection coefficient and achieving the miniaturization of device itself by reducing the number of the short-circuit electrodes.

The invention provides a method for adjusting the temperature-dependent property of a surface acoustic wave device is provided. The method is appropriate for a temperature-dependent property that is expressed by a cubic function of a surface acoustic wave device using an in-plane rotated ST cut quartz crystal plate. The invention therefore provides a method for adjusting the temperature-dependent property of a surface acoustic wave device using an in-plane rotated ST cut quartz crystal plate having Euler angles of (0null, 113-135null, null(40-49null)). The range of Euler angles is defined so that the temperature-dependent property of the surface acoustic wave device, using an in-plane rotated ST cut quartz crystal plate having the temperature-dependent property expressed by a cubic function, has an extreme value within the temperature range of null40 to null85null C., and the temperature-dependent property is rotated about the inflection point to minimize the frequency fluctuation within the operational temperature range by using appropriate regions.
摘要:
In a substrate in which a reflection coefficient null of a surface acoustic wave per electrode is small, the invention obtains a Q value or a CI value level, which is equivalent to or higher than that of a related art product, at a device size which is equivalent to the related art product which addresses the problem that the size of a surface acoustic wave resonator becomes larger. A surface acoustic wave resonator includes one interdigital transducer to excite a surface acoustic wave in a propagation direction x on a piezoelectric plate and a pair of reflectors arranged on both sides thereof in the propagation direction. The interdigital transducer is divided into three regions. The electrode fingers of the interdigital transducer of each region are formed at a fixed pitch which differs within 2%. The surface acoustic wave resonator possesses a single peak response. The form in which a vibration displacement envelope amplitude in the interdigital transducer region is normalized is a form which takes a maximum value 1 at the center position, which smoothly takes a value in a range of 0.33 to 0.53 at a position null from both ends, and which smoothly takes a value in a range of 0.048 to 0.177 at positions at both ends.

The invention provides an in-plane rotational ST-cut SAW resonator that is formed of an in-plane rotational ST-cut crystal plate having Eulerian angles of (0null, 113null to 135null, and null(40null to 49null)). The in-plane rotational ST-cut SAW resonator can include an interdigital transducer (IDT) electrode for exciting a Rayleigh wave on the main surface. The ratio Lt/Pt of the electrode width Lt and the interelectrode pitch Pt of the IDT electrode is 0.5 or more and 0.65 or less. Accordingly, a reduction in the fluctuation in resonance frequency relative to the variations in an IDT electrode of a surface acoustic wave device by using the in-plane rotated ST-cut crystal plate around the Znull-axis can be achieved.
