A method and structure for a single crystal acoustic electronic device. The device includes a substrate having an enhancement layer formed overlying its surface region, a support layer formed overlying the enhancement layer, and an air cavity formed through a portion of the support layer. A single crystal piezoelectric material is formed overlying the air cavity and a portion of the enhancement layer. Also, a first electrode material coupled to the backside surface region of the crystal piezoelectric material and spatially configured within the cavity. A second electrode material is formed overlying the topside of the piezoelectric material, and a dielectric layer formed overlying the second electrode material. Further, one or more shunt layers can be formed around the perimeter of a resonator region of the device to connect the piezoelectric material to the enhancement layer.
