Original Abstract Submitted
An acoustic wave device is provided that includes a piezoelectric layer and first and second resonators. The first resonator includes a first functional electrode and a first dielectric film on the piezoelectric layer. The second resonator includes a second functional electrode and a second dielectric film on the piezoelectric layer. The piezoelectric layer includes first and second resonator portions respectively including portions of the first and second resonators. Moreover, a resonant frequency of the first resonator is lower than that of the second resonator. A thickness of the first resonator portion is greater than that of the second resonator portion, and ts/tp≤ts/tp is satisfied, where tp, tp, ts, and ts are respectively thicknesses of the first and second resonator portions and the first and second dielectric films.
