Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to bulk acoustic wave devices that have a raised frame structure, and filters that utilize the bulk acoustic wave devices. The raised frame structure can include a first raised frame layer that has a relatively low acoustic impedance. The raised frame structure can include a second raised frame layer that has a relatively high acoustic impedance. The first raised frame layer can extend inward further than the second raised frame layer. A width of the first raised frame layer that overlaps the first and second electrodes is between about 1.5 times to about 4 times larger than the combined thickness of the first electrode, the piezoelectric layer, and the second electrode.
