摘要:
An acoustic wave element includes an IDT electrode in contact with a piezoelectric material and including a plurality of electrode fingers, which include first and second electrode fingers that adjoin each other in an acoustic wave propagation direction and that connect to different potentials and a first dummy electrode finger facing the first electrode finger via a gap located on an outer side in an electrode finger length direction of the first electrode finger. At an area near the gap, first protrusions are provided in at least one of the first electrode finger and the first dummy electrode finger, the first protrusion protruding in the acoustic wave propagation direction from at least one of side edges of the at least one of the first electrode finger and the first dummy electrode finger. The acoustic wave element has greatly improved resonance characteristics of a resonance frequency and prevents short-circuit failure between electrode fingers and degradation in insulation properties.

A surface acoustic wave device includes a LiNbO3 substrate with a Euler angle in an area defined by a rectangle having four corners with coordinates (1) (0°, 7°, 101°), (2) (0°, 23°, 79°), (3) (0°, 23°, 79°), and (4) (0°, 7°, 79°), for example, and an electrode film made of Au, wherein surface acoustic waves including a longitudinal wave component as a main component are propagated thereon. The surface acoustic wave device uses longitudinal surface acoustic waves having a phase speed greater than with the “slow transverse wave”, and has a great electromechanical coupling coefficient and small propagation loss, and is suitable for handling high-frequency signals.

A boundary acoustic wave device includes a quartz substrate, an IDT located on the substrate, and a dielectric arranged so as to cover the IDT. A boundary acoustic wave propagates across a boundary between the quartz substrate and the dielectric. The thickness of the IDT is determined so that the velocity of the SH boundary acoustic wave is below those of a slow transverse wave propagating across the quartz substrate and a slow transverse wave propagating across the dielectric. The Eulerian angles of the quartz substrate lie within hatched regions in FIG. 13.

A boundary acoustic wave filter includes a first medium layer, a second medium layer laminated on the first medium layer, and IDT electrodes that are disposed at the boundary between the first and second medium layers and that define an electroacoustic transducer. In the boundary acoustic wave filter, the sound velocity of boundary acoustic waves, which is the product of the wavelength determined by the period of the electrodes and the frequency at least the lower end of the stopband disposed at the high-frequency side of the passband, is less than the sound velocity of slow transverse waves propagating through the first medium layer and the second medium layer.
