A surface acoustic wave branching filter includes a first filter and a second filter each including a plurality of surface acoustic wave resonators arranged in a ladder circuit configuration. The first filter in which the frequency range of the passband is relatively low is provided on a first piezoelectric substrate, and the second filter in which the frequency range of the passband is relatively high is provided on a second piezoelectric substrate. The first piezoelectric substrate and the second piezoelectric substrate are rotation Y-cut X-propagation LiTaO3 substrates, and the cut angle of the first piezoelectric substrate is greater than the cut angle of the second piezoelectric substrate.

摘要:
In a manufacturing method for a SAW apparatus a first insulating layer is formed on the entire surface of a piezoelectric LiTaO3 substrate. By using a resist pattern used for forming an IDT electrode, the first insulating layer in which the IDT electrode is to be formed is removed. An electrode film made of a metal having a density higher than Al or an alloy primarily including such a metal is disposed in the area in which the first insulating layer is removed so as to form the IDT electrode. The resist pattern remaining on the first insulating layer is removed. A second insulating layer is formed to cover the first insulating layer and the IDT electrode.
