Abstract

A high frequency device having a membrane structure with improved mechanical strength is provided. The high frequency device includes: a substrate having an aperture; a first dielectric layer that is formed from a material having etching selectivity in relation to a material of the substrate and is provided on the substrate to cover the aperture; a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer; and a high frequency element provided in a position opposed to the aperture on the second dielectric layer.

Claims (29)

1. A high frequency device comprising:

a substrate having an aperture;

a first dielectric layer that is formed from a material having etching selectivity in relation to a material of the substrate and is provided on the substrate to cover the aperture;
