Original Abstract Submitted
An acoustic wave device includes a support including a support substrate, a piezoelectric layer on the support substrate, a space overlapping at least a portion of the piezoelectric layer, and a functional electrode on the piezoelectric layer. The support includes a space at a position at least partially overlapping the functional electrode in plan view. The functional electrode includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer on at least a portion of the first metal layer. A linear expansion coefficient of the second metal layer is smaller than a linear expansion coefficient of the first metal layer.
