Surface acoustic wave device having connection between elements made via a conductor not on the piezoelectric substrate

摘要

A surface acoustic wave device comprises: a plurality of surface acoustic wave elements provided on a piezoelectric substrate to be electrically isolated with each other, a substrate provided with a first conductor electrically connecting the plurality of surface acoustic wave elements, a second conductor electrically isolated to the first conductor and an external terminal, and a sealing member for protecting the substrate and the piezoelectric substrate. For the substrate, a package having a recess or an insulating substrate is used. The first conductor is electrically isolated to the external terminal, while the second conductor is electrically connected with the external terminal. The above-described structure provides a small-sized surface acoustic wave device with excellent-attenuation characteristics.
