ACOUSTIC WAVE DEVICE WITH MASS LOADING STRIP HAVING TAPERED SIDEWALL

Abstract:

Aspects of this disclosure relate to an acoustic wave device with transverse mode suppression. The acoustic wave device can include a piezoelectric layer, an interdigital transducer electrode, a temperature compensation layer, and a mass loading strip. The mass loading strip can overlap edge portions of fingers of the interdigital transducer electrode. The mass loading strip can have a sidewall that is tapered inwardly from a bottom side of the mass loading strip to a top side of the mass loading strip. The top side can be shorter than the bottom side.
