Abstract
A surface acoustic wave device includes a SAW element that is mounted on a substrate. Grooves are provided in the substrate at the outer periphery of the SAW element, and a flexible resin layer is provided at the inner portion of the grooves so as to cover the SAW element. An outer resin layer that is harder than the flexible resin layer is provided at the exterior of the flexible resin layer. This configuration facilitates reduction in size and profile of the surface acoustic wave device, contributes to reduction in cost, and exhibits high environmental resistance.

A surface acoustic wave device comprising:
- a substrate;
- a surface acoustic wave element mounted on the substrate, the substrate being provided with at least one first groove;
- an inner resin layer provided on the substrate surrounding the surface acoustic wave element and adjacent to the at least one first groove so as to cover the surface acoustic wave element;
- and
- an outer resin layer provided at the exterior of the inner resin layer, the outer resin layer being harder than the inner resin layer.
