  • Patent number: 8004160
    Abstract: An acoustic wave device includes a substrate, an acoustic wave element, an electrode pad, a resin portion and a metal post. The acoustic wave element is provided on the substrate. The electrode pad is provided on the substrate, is electrically coupled to the acoustic wave element, and has an Au layer and an adhesive layer formed on the Au layer and having an opening. The resin portion is provided on the substrate so as to cover the acoustic wave element and the electrode pad, and has a through-hole formed to expose a surface of the electrode pad. The metal post is provided in the through-hole and contacts with the Au layer through the opening of the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is provided between the Au layer and the resin portion.

  • Patent number: 7854050
    Abstract: A surface acoustic wave device is enable to prevent electrode erosion, without any specific environmental process. The surface acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, an electrode for the formation of surface acoustic wave, being formed on the piezoelectric substrate, on the piezoelectric substrate, a frame-shaped layer surrounding the electrode for the formation of surface acoustic wave, and a lid body formed on the frame-shaped layer by bonding, so as to form a hollow portion between the lid body and the electrode for the formation of surface acoustic wave. The frame-shaped layer and the lid body include photosensitive resin, and the lid body includes a through hole, and the through hole is sealed with a halogen-free thermosetting resin.

  • Patent number: 7841064
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an acoustic wave device includes forming a first sealing portion on a substrate having an acoustic wave element thereon so that a functional region, in which an acoustic wave oscillates, of the acoustic wave element acts as a first non-covered portion and a cutting region for individuating acts as a second non-covered portion, forming a second sealing portion on the first sealing portion so as to cover the first non-covered portion and the second non-covered portion, and cutting off the substrate and the second sealing portion so that the second non-covered portion is divided.
