A method for manufacturing a filter device is provided. The filter device comprises a coupled resonator at a first site, a shunt resonator at a second site and a series resonator at a third site, the coupled resonator comprising a first and a second resonator. The method comprising a step of providing a substrate with a piezoelectric layer sandwiched between a first electrode and a first part of a second electrode at the first site and the second site, the piezoelectric layer sandwiched between the first electrode and a second part of the second electrode at the third site. The method further comprising the step of forming a coupling layer on the second electrode, the step of forming a further piezoelectric layer sandwiched between a further first electrode and a further second electrode at the third site and the step of removing the coupling layer at the second and third sites.
