Abstract

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a surface acoustic wave device comprising the steps of forming a drive electrode having a surface acoustic wave element function on a piezoelectric substrate wafer, providing a resist coat on an upper region of the drive electrode, covering the resist coat with a metal film, removing the resist coat lying within the metal film so that the metal film is formed in a dome form having a hollow portion covering the drive electrode, and providing a resin seal on the metal film.

Claims (11)

1. A method of manufacturing a surface acoustic wave device, comprising the steps of:

forming a drive electrode having a surface acoustic wave element function and an external connection unit on a piezoelectric substrate wafer;

providing a resist coat on an upper region of the drive electrode;

covering the resist coat with a metal film;

providing an electro-conductive column on the external connection unit;

removing the resist coat lying within the metal film so that the metal film is formed in a dome form having a hollow portion covering the drive electrode;

forming an external connection terminal at an extremity of the electro-conductive column; and

providing a resin seal on the metal film.

2. The method of manufacturing a surface acoustic wave device according to claim 1 , wherein the resin seal is provided by a first sealing step with a resin having high hardening speed and high viscosity and by a second sealing step with a resin having lower hardening speed and lower viscosity than the resin for use in the first sealing step.

3. The method of manufacturing a surface acoustic wave device according to claim 2 , wherein the resin for use in the resin seal is epoxy resin.

4. The method of manufacturing a surface acoustic wave device according to claim 2 , wherein the resin for use in the resin seal is polyimide resin.
