    Abstract: Surface acoustic wave, SAW, structures with transverse mode suppression are disclosed. In one aspect, the SAW structure provides digits or fingers (306(1)-306(N), 314(1)-314(N)) with broad interior terminal end shapes (312(1), 312(X), 318(1), 318(X)). By providing such shapes spurious modes above the resonance frequency of the SAW are suppressed thereby providing desired out of band rejection that helps satisfy design criteria such as keeping a higher Q value, a higher K2 value and better Temperature Coefficient of Frequency, TCF.

    Abstract: A sensor device includes a substrate having a substrate surface, a first IDT electrode positioned on the substrate surface, a second IDT electrode positioned on the substrate surface, a waveguide, and a protective film. The waveguide is positioned on the substrate surface and between the first IDT electrode and the second IDT electrode. The waveguide includes a first immobilized layer positioned on the substrate surface and a second immobilized layer positioned on the first immobilized layer. The second immobilized layer is positioned inside an outer edge of the first immobilized layer as seen in a plan view.

    Abstract: A transducer structure (100) for an acoustic device comprising a piezoelectric layer (104), a pair of inter-digitated comb electrodes (108, 110), comprising a plurality of electrode means (112_1, 112_2, 112_3, 112_4, 114_1, 114_2, 114_3, 114_4) with a pitch p satisfying the Bragg condition given by p= lambda/2, lambda being the operating acoustic wavelength of said transducer, characterized in that the inter-digitated comb electrodes (108, 110) are embedded in the piezoelectric layer (104) and the acoustic impedance of the electrode means is less than the acoustic impedance of the piezoelectric layer such that, in use, the excitation of a wave propagating mode in the volume of the electrode means is taking place and is the predominant propagating mode of the structure. The invention relates also to a acoustic wave device comprising at least one transducer structure as described above and to a method for fabricating said transducer structure. The invention relates also to the use of the frequency of the bulk wave propagating in the electrode means of said transducer structure in an acoustic wave device to generate contribution at high frequency, in particular above 3GHz.
