Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for implementing a surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filter with dielectric material disposed in a piezoelectric layer. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes a surface-acoustic-wave filter with a piezoelectric layer, an electrode structure, and dielectric material. The piezoelectric layer has at least one channel. The dielectric material is disposed in the at least one channel of the piezoelectric layer and is at least partially covered by the electrode structure.

Abstract: An electroacoustic resonator comprises a substrate (3) with a piezoelectric material and an interdigital electrode structure on a top side (33) of the substrate. The electrode structure comprises a first electrode (1) and a second electrode (2) each with a busbar (20) and a plurality of fingers (10). The fingers of both electrodes interdigitate. The region of the top side between the two busbars is subdivided into two barrier regions (113), two trap regions (112) and one track region (111), the trap regions being located between the two barrier regions and the track region being located between the two trap regions. At least some fingers each comprise one barrier portion (13), two trap portions (12) and one track portion (11), wherein the barrier portion is associated with the barrier region closest to the busbar assigned to the finger, the trap portions are each associated with one of the trap regions and the track portion is associated with the track region.

Abstract: A SAW transducer and a SAW resonator are proposed composed of consecutively arranged unit cells of length L. Slight geometry or material variations such as variations of the metallization ration or the unit cell length L affecting the pitch) between these unit cells result in improved spurious mode suppression while the main mode performance is unaffected.

Abstract: An electroacoustic resonator (EAR) that allows an RF filter having a large bandwidth is provided. The resonator comprises a piezoelectric material (PM) and an electrode structure (ES, EF) on the piezoelectric material. The piezoelectric material is lithium niobate and has a crystal cut defined by the Euler angles (0°, 80° to 88°, 0°).
