<p>A surface acoustic wave device includes interdigital transducer (IDT) electrode and reflectors disposed on a piezoelectric substrate. Each of the IDT electrode and the reflectors has a multi-layer film structure including at least one layer (high specific gravity metal component containing layer) including as a major component a metal with a specific gravity of at least about 15 and having a film-thickness of at least about 10 nm, and at least one layer (low specific gravity metal component containing layer) including as a major component a metal with a specific gravity of up to about 10 and a volume resistivity as a bulk value (at about 20°C) of up to about 10 x 10 -8 ©·m, and having a film-thickness of at least about 10 nm. For example, the multi-layer structure includes an Ni film (low specific gravity metal component containing layer) with a film-thickness of about 150 nm disposed on a Ti film, a Cu film (low specific gravity metal component containing layer) with a film-thickness of about 250 nm disposed on the Ni film, and an Au film (high specific gravity metal component containing layer) with a film-thickness of about 50 nm disposed on the Cu film.</p> |
