  • Patent number: 11876502
    Abstract: A surface acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, an interdigital transducer (IDT) electrode on the substrate, a cover over the substrate and IDT electrode, and hollow spaces between the IDT electrode and the cover. The hollow spaces are defined by partition supports between the substrate and the cover. The partition supports include a first and second partition supports extending in a first direction without contacting each other. The first and second partition supports each include first and second ends along the first direction. The first and second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first end of the first partition support is closer to an outer periphery of the substrate than is the second end, and the first end of the second partition support is farther away from the outer periphery than is the second end.

  • Patent number: 11476831
    Abstract: A surface acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, an interdigital transducer electrode that is disposed on a main surface of the piezoelectric substrate, a plurality of partition-support layers each of which is arranged in a region of the main surface surrounded by an outer periphery of the main surface, and a cover layer that is disposed above the plurality of partition-support layers and that covers the interdigital transducer electrode. The plurality of partition-support layers include a first partition-support layer and a second partition-support layer that are adjacent to each other, and a portion of the first partition-support layer and a portion of the second partition-support layer do not overlap each other when viewed from a second direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a first direction in which the plurality of partition-support layers extend.
