A method for manufacturing a surface acoustic wave apparatus to be mounted via bumps by a flip chip bonding system prevents peeling of electrode pads from the piezoelectric substrate and cracks in the piezoelectric substrate from occurring during the formation of the bumps or at other times during the manufacturing process. In the method of manufacturing a surface acoustic wave apparatus, a first electrode layer of the electrode pad is formed on a piezoelectric substrate by etching, an electrode for a surface acoustic wave element is formed by a lift-off method after the first electrode layer is formed, and thereafter, an electrode film including a second electrode layer of the electrode pad and a wiring electrode is formed.

The present invention provides a microfabricated acoustic transducer with suppressed substrate modes. The modes are suppressed by either thinning the substrate such that a longitudinal ringing mode occurs outside of the frequency band of interest or by applying a judiciously designed damping material on the backside of the transducer substrate.

In a surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) device and method of fabricating the same, a SAW chip is flip-chip mounted in a package. The package has a window facing an electrode formed surface of the SAW chip. After the SAW chip is mounted, the in-process item is inserted into reactive ion etching equipment, with the window open. The substrate or electrodes of the SAW chip is etched by an etching gas introduced into the ion etching equipment. Films may be formed on the electrode formation surface, in place of etching. Thus, variation in characteristics stemming from variations in manufacturing processes can be suppressed.

This invention relates to a method of manufacturing an ultrasonic transducer. First, a plurality of printed boards in each of which a plurality of leads are formed in a line are stacked. The end portions of the leads protrude from each printed board. These lead end portions are inserted into a plurality of lead holes of an alignment jig. The plurality of printed boards are buried in the back surface of this alignment jig, and a backing layer is formed by resin molding. After that, the alignment jig is removed from the surface of the backing layer, and the surface of the backing layer is flattened. Since the end portions of the leads are exposed to this flattened surface of the backing layer, discrete electrodes formed on the back surfaces of transducer elements are electrically connected to these lead end portions. The accuracy of lead arrangement is thus improved by the use of the alignment jig. This reduces alignment errors of leads with respect to the discrete electrodes of the transducer elements.

A ceramic element comprises a main actuator element 26 having an anti-ferroelectric film 22 and a pair of electrodes 24a, 24b formed on a first principal surface (front surface) of the anti-ferroelectric film 22, a vibrating section 18 for supporting the main actuator element 26, and a fixed section 20 for supporting the vibrating section 18 in a vibrating manner. The anti-ferroelectric film 22 after polarization has a region Zt in which its average dielectric constant is increased in an analog manner in accordance with a voltage V applied to the pair of electrodes 24a, 24b. Specifically, an expression of p/tnull2.5 is satisfied provided that an average film thickness of the anti-ferroelectric film 22 is t, and a pitch between the pair of electrodes 24a, 24b is p. Accordingly, the mechanical displacement amount is changed in an analog manner in accordance with the applied voltage, making it possible to maintain a displacement amount equivalent to that obtained during application of a driving voltage, in a no voltage-loaded state after completion of application of the driving voltage.
