    摘要: An elastic wave device includes an interdigital transducer (IDT) electrode in contact with a piezoelectric substrate having a bus bar electrode region including one of a first bus bar electrode and a second bus bar electrode of the IDT electrode, an alternately disposed region where first electrode fingers are alternately disposed with second electrode fingers of the IDT electrode, and an intermediate region including one of the first electrode fingers and the second electrode fingers. A dielectric film is formed in at least part of the intermediate region and in contact with an upper surface of the IDT electrode. The dielectric film includes a medium in which an acoustic velocity of a transverse wave propagating in the dielectric film is lower than an acoustic velocity of a main elastic wave of the alternately disposed region. The dielectric film is not formed in the alternately disposed region.

    摘要: An elastic wave filter including a substrate, a signal line disposed on the substrate and connecting a first signal terminal to a second signal terminal, a plurality of series resonators connected to the signal line in series, and a plurality of parallel resonators connected to the signal line. At least one of the series resonator having an anti-resonant frequency closest to the passband of the filter among the plurality of series resonators, and/or the parallel resonator having a resonant frequency closest to the passband of the filter among the plurality of parallel resonators, is covered with a dielectric film that is relatively thicker than a dielectric film covering the other series and/or parallel resonators.

    摘要: Aspects and examples provide electronic elements and filter devices configured to prevent deterioration of the propagation characteristics caused by input and output signals being electromagnetically coupled to an electric conductor side wall. In one example an electronic filter includes an element substrate having a top surface, a bottom surface, a side surface, and piezoelectric body. A circuit including a plurality of SAW resonators is formed on the top surface of the element substrate. The electronic filter further includes a sealing substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, and a side wall including an electric conductor and formed to define a cavity between the top surface of the element substrate and the bottom surface of the sealing substrate, the side wall enclosing a periphery of the circuit and being connected to a ground potential of the circuit.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an acoustic wave element includes simultaneously forming a plurality of electrodes on a piezoelectric substrate, the plurality of electrodes including first and second IDT electrodes and a connection electrode, forming an insulation over the plurality of electrodes and the piezoelectric substrate, the insulation having a first thickness in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the piezoelectric substrate over the second IDT electrode, processing a first portion of the insulation over the first IDT electrode and a second portion of the insulation over the connection electrode to reduce a thickness of the first and second portions of the insulation to a second thickness, and processing a third portion of the insulation over the surface of the second IDT electrode to reduce the first thickness of the third portion to a third thickness, the third thickness being greater than the second thickness.
