ACOUSTIC WAVE DEVICE: abstract simplified (18210710)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18210710 Titled 'ACOUSTIC WAVE DEVICE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an acoustic wave device that consists of several components. These include a support, a piezoelectric layer, an IDT electrode with busbars and electrode fingers, and an insulating film. The device also has a cavity on one side of the support, and the outer edge of the cavity has two portions that face each other. The insulating film covers the tip end portions of the second electrode fingers and overlaps one of the outer edge portions of the cavity.

Original Abstract Submitted

An acoustic wave device includes a support, a piezoelectric layer, an IDT electrode including first and second busbars and first and second electrode fingers, and a first insulating film on the piezoelectric layer and that covers tip end portions of the second electrode fingers. In a multilayer body including the support and the piezoelectric layer, a cavity is provided on a side of the support with respect to the piezoelectric layer. In plan view, an outer peripheral edge of the cavity includes first and second outer peripheral edge portions facing each other in an electrode-finger extending direction. The first outer peripheral edge portion is on a side of the first busbar, and the first insulating film extends on the side of the first busbar, and, in plan view, overlaps the first outer peripheral edge portion of the cavity.
