Surface-acoustic-wave device

Abstract

A surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) device that has not only an increased propagation velocity of SAWs but also an increased electromechanical coupling coefficient of 20% or more. The SAW device comprises a diamond substrate 10, a KNbO3 layer 30, and IDTs 40. The KNbO3 layer 30 is composed of a single crystal having the layer thickness and the crystal orientation that are controlled so as to obtain a propagation velocity of 5,000 m/s or more and an electromechanical coupling coefficient of 20% or more for the SAW in a specified mode.
