  • Publication number: 20240021967
    Abstract: A filter device includes a laminated body, a plurality of resonator portions, and a plurality of capacitor portions facing the plurality of resonator portions in a Y-axis direction, respectively. Each of the resonator portions is formed by a plurality of resonant electrode elements. Each of the capacitor portions is formed by a plurality of capacitive electrode elements. The plurality of resonant electrode elements in the resonator portion are formed such that all of facing ends with respect to the capacitive electrode elements do not overlap with each other when viewed in a planar view from a Z-axis direction. The capacitive electrode elements in the capacitor portion are formed such that a gap between the capacitive electrode element and the resonant electrode element facing each other in a Y-axis direction is substantially constant in each layer in the Z-axis direction.
