Abstract: Electroacoustic devices with a capacitive element and methods for fabricating such electroacoustic devices. An example method includes forming an acoustic device above a first region of a substrate, and forming a capacitive element above a second region of the substrate and adjacent to the acoustic device. The forming of the capacitive element may include forming a protective layer above the substrate where a first portion of the protective layer is above the second region of the substrate and a second portion of the protective layer is above the first region of the substrate, forming a dielectric region above the protective layer, and forming an electrode above the dielectric region. The dielectric region may include a different material than the protective layer.

Abstract: An electroacoustic component includes a substrate configured to carry acoustic waves. The electroacoustic component can be a guided bulk acoustic wave (GBAW) device, for example.

Abstract: An electroacoustic transducer has reduced loss due to acoustic waves emitted in the transverse direction. For this purpose, a transducer comprises a central excitation area, inner edge areas flanking the central excitation area, outer edge areas flanking the inner edge areas, and areas of the busbar flanking the outer edge areas. The longitudinal speed of the areas can be set so that the excitation profile of a piston mode is obtained.

Abstract: A method for producing a dielectric layer on the surface of a component is described. In particular embodiments, a dielectric layer having a planar surface can be generated over a substrate topography having raised structures. In a trimming process, a component property, which depends on the thickness or the third topography of the dielectric layer, is adjusted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electroacoustic transducer which is arranged in an acoustic track (AS) and on a piezoelectric substrate (11) and which has two electrodes (1, 2) which are arranged on the substrate (11) and which have interengaging electrode fingers (3, 4) for exciting acoustic waves. The electrode fingers (3, 4) of an electrode (1, 2) are interconnected. The transducer also has means for increasing the mass occupation in a central excitation region (ZAB) which runs parallel to the acoustic track (AS), and the mass occupation in the central excitation region (ZAB) is higher than in an edge region (RB) which adjoins the central excitation region (ZAB) from both sides.
