Abstract

An acoustic wave device can include a quartz substrate having a first surface, and a piezoelectric plate formed from LiTaO3 or LiNbO3 and having a first surface configured to support a surface acoustic wave and a second surface in engagement with the first surface of the quartz substrate. The second surface of the piezoelectric plate can be a minus surface resulting from crystal structure orientation of the piezoelectric plate. The acoustic wave device can further include an interdigital transducer electrode formed on the first surface of the piezoelectric plate and configured to provide transducer functionality associated with the surface acoustic wave.

Claims (52)

1 . An acoustic wave device comprising:

a quartz substrate including a first surface;

a piezoelectric plate formed from LiTaO 3 or LiNbO 3 and including a first surface configured to support a surface acoustic wave and a second surface in engagement with the first surface of the quartz substrate, the second surface being a minus surface resulting from crystal structure orientation of the piezoelectric plate; and

an interdigital transducer electrode formed on the first surface of the piezoelectric plate and configured to provide transducer functionality associated with the surface acoustic wave.
