Patent number: 6760960Abstract: A method of forming an electrode pattern of a surface acoustic wave device easily and reliably prevents the occurrence of an abnormality in the shape of a resist pattern. In the electrode pattern forming method, a resist layer is formed on a top surface of a piezoelectric substrate, and then exposed to ultraviolet rays through a photomask provided above the top surface of the piezoelectric substrate to form a resist pattern on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate. Furthermore, a conductor film is formed on the top surface of the piezoelectric substrate, and the resist pattern is removed by a liftoff method to form an electrode pattern of the surface acoustic wave device. Exposure is performed using ultraviolet rays having a wavelength which is completely absorbed into the piezoelectric substrate without reaching the bottom surface of the piezoelectric substrate.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2002Date of Patent: July 13, 2004Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., LtdInventors: Kenji Sakaguchi, Toshiyuki Fuyutsume
