A filter device is provided that includes a substrate having a surface; and a piezoelectric layer over a first cavity and a second cavity. The piezoelectric layer is attached to the surface of the substrate either directly or via one or more intermediate layers. An area of the piezoelectric layer has a first thickness for at least one first resonator that forms at least one first membrane over the first cavity. Moreover, an area of the piezoelectric layer has a second thickness for at least one second resonator that forms at least one second membrane over the second cavity, the second thickness being thinner than the first thickness. A bottom of the first cavity that is opposite from the at least one first membrane extends farther down away from the piezoelectric layer than a bottom of the second cavity that is opposite from the at least one second membrane.
