  • Patent number: 10320362
    Abstract: An elastic wave device includes a multilayer film provided on a support substrate and including a piezoelectric thin film and a layer other than the piezoelectric thin film, an interdigital transducer electrode provided on one surface of the piezoelectric thin film, and an external connection terminal electrically connected to the interdigital transducer electrode. In a plan view, the multilayer film is partially absent or omitted in a region outside a region where the interdigital transducer electrode is provided, and the elastic wave device further includes a first insulating layer provided on the support substrate in at least a portion of a region where the multilayer film is absent or omitted.

  • Patent number: 9184367
    Abstract: An elastic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate and an interdigital transducer electrode. The piezoelectric substrate includes a principal surface with a groove tapered in lateral cross section. The interdigital transducer electrode is arranged on the principal surface such that at least one portion thereof is located in the groove. The interdigital transducer electrode is a laminate including a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a diffusion-preventing layer located between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer and made of an oxide or nitride of Ti or Cr.

  • Patent number: 9105846
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a boundary acoustic wave device is provided which includes, an IDT electrode, a first dielectric layer, and a second dielectric layer on a piezoelectric substrate. The first dielectric layer is made of a deposited film. A thickness of the IDT electrode is about 10% or more of ?. A difference between a height of the first dielectric layer, measured from an upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate, above a center of an electrode finger of the IDT electrode and a height of the first dielectric layer, measured from the upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate, above a center of a gap between adjacent electrode fingers, i.e., a magnitude of unevenness in an upper surface of the first dielectric layer, is about 5% or less of ?.
