ACOUSTIC WAVE DEVICE WITH MULTI-LAYER PIEZOELECTRIC SUBSTRATE

Abstract:

Aspects of this disclosure relate to an acoustic wave device that includes high velocity layers on opposing sides of a piezoelectric layer. A low velocity layer can be positioned between the piezoelectric layer and one of the high velocity layers, in which the low velocity layer has a lower acoustic velocity than the high velocity layers. The acoustic wave device can be configured to generate a boundary acoustic wave such that acoustic energy is concentrated at a boundary of the piezoelectric layer and the low velocity layer.
