Publication number: 20240097653Abstract: In a composite filter device, a first acoustic wave resonator includes a functional electrode on a first main surface of a first piezoelectric substrate, and a wiring electrode is on the first main surface and is not connected to a signal potential. A support is on the first main surface and surrounds the first acoustic wave resonator. A second piezoelectric substrate is on the support and includes a third main surface closer to the support than a fourth main surface. A second acoustic wave resonator includes a functional electrode on the third main surface. The second acoustic wave resonator is a parallel-arm resonator higher in resonant frequency than any other parallel-arm resonator or a series-arm resonator lower in resonant frequency than any other series-arm resonator. The second acoustic wave resonator and the wiring electrode overlap each other when viewed in plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Yasuhiro SHIMIZU, Sunao YAMAZAKI, Kenta MAEDA
