ABSTRACT:
A boundary acoustic wave device includes a quartz substrate, an IDT located on the substrate, and a dielectric arranged so as to cover the IDT. A boundary acoustic wave propagates across a boundary between the quartz substrate and the dielectric. The thickness of the IDT is determined so that the velocity of the SH boundary acoustic wave is below those of a slow transverse wave propagating across the quartz substrate and a slow transverse wave propagating across the dielectric. The Eulerian angles of the quartz substrate lie within hatched regions in FIG.13.
