Abstract: In an acoustic wave device, an IDT electrode is located on a piezoelectric layer. A high-acoustic-velocity member is positioned on an opposite side of the piezoelectric layer from the IDT electrode. An acoustic velocity of a bulk wave propagating through the high-acoustic-velocity member is higher than an acoustic velocity of an acoustic wave propagating through the piezoelectric layer. A low-acoustic-velocity film is provided between the high-acoustic-velocity member and the piezoelectric layer.

A dielectric film is located on the piezoelectric layer so as to cover the IDT electrode. In the acoustic wave device, a Young's modulus of the dielectric film is larger than a Young's modulus of the low-acoustic-velocity film.
