2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there have been remarkable reductions in size, loss, and cost of surface acoustic wave devices, which have greatly contributed to the spread of various communication devices. In particular, the spread of mobile communication devices has been rapid, and in response to the demand, there has been a shift from an analog system to an increase in communication channels and a digital system suitable for various services. As described above, with the digitization of the communication system, the communication band is widened, and a filter used in the RF stage and the IF stage of the communication device is required to have a broader pass band. In addition, a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) used for the mixer stage is required to have a variable oscillation frequency range wider than before.

[0003] Among communication devices, a ladder type surface acoustic wave filter (hereinafter, referred to as an RF stage) is most commonly used for an RF stage of a mobile phone or the like.
A ladder-type SAW filter is often used. As is well known, a ladder type SAW filter is a resonator type SAW filter configured by arranging a plurality of SAW resonators in a ladder type as shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows a configuration in which a parallel resonator (SAW resonator in a parallel arm) Sp is arranged at the input and output. There is also a configuration in which a series resonator (SAW resonator in a series arm) Ss is provided at the input and the output. Both types have the same filter characteristics but different input / output impedance characteristics. Each of the series SAW resonators Ss and the parallel SAW resonators Sp of the ladder-type SAW filter is constituted by a pair of comb-shaped electrodes (IDT) having a plurality of electrode fingers interposed on one piezoelectric substrate. A ladder-type SAW filter is configured by disposing lead electrodes between SAW resonators. Further, each SAW resonator has an ID as shown in a plan view in FIG.
There are cases where reflectors are arranged on both sides of the T electrode and cases where no reflectors are arranged as shown in FIG.

FIG. 9A shows an electrical equivalent circuit of a single SAW resonator, and FIG. 9B shows a frequency-impedance characteristic thereof. In order to widen the pass band in the ladder type SAW filter, a SAW having a large difference frequency between the resonance frequency fr and the anti-resonance frequency fa shown in FIG.
A resonator is required. Generally, there is a relationship of fa 2 = fr 2 (1 + 1 / γ) (1) between the resonance frequency fr and the anti-resonance frequency fa. Here, γ is the capacitance ratio of the SAW resonator, and is represented by the ratio (C 0 / C 1 ) between the capacitance C 0 and the motional capacitance C 1 of the electric equivalent circuit shown in FIG. As is well known, the capacitance ratio γ of the SAW resonator is substantially determined by the type of piezoelectric material and the cutting direction. From equation (1), as the capacitance ratio γ decreases, the resonance frequency fr and the anti-resonance frequency fa decrease.
Thus, a SAW resonator having a large difference frequency from the above can be obtained. Therefore, by using a SAW resonator having a small capacitance ratio γ, the pass band width of the ladder-type SAW filter can be widened.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. As described in the above-mentioned Document 1, the inventors of the present invention have developed a leaky surface acoustic wave (hereinafter, referred to as a “propagation”) propagating on a θ-degree rotated Y-cut lithium niobate substrate.
It is noted that the propagation speed (phase speed) of the leaky SAW greatly changes as the cutting angle of the piezoelectric substrate increases. In addition, the propagation speed of the leaky SAW when the substrate surface is metallized and the propagation speed of the leaky SAW when the substrate surface is electrically open differ depending on the cutting angle of the substrate. The propagation speed of the leaky SAW when the substrate surface is metallized is Vm, and the propagation speed of the leaky SAW when the substrate surface is electrically open is Vf.
Then, the electromechanical coupling coefficient k 2 is k 2 = 2 (Vf−V
m) / Vf. Therefore, by increasing the difference between the propagation speed Vf and Vm, it becomes possible to increase the electromechanical coupling coefficient k 2.

As described in Document 1, the difference between the propagation velocities Vf and Vm becomes larger as the cutting angle of the lithium niobate substrate is made smaller than 41 degrees which has been said to be the best value. I understand. That is, it is expected that the electromechanical coupling coefficient k 2 will increase as the cutting angle θ of the substrate becomes smaller than 41 degrees in the θ-degree rotated Y-cut lithium niobate substrate. As described above, since the capacitance ratio γ is inversely proportional to the square k 2 of the electromechanical coupling coefficient k, the capacitance ratio γ should be able to be reduced by increasing the electromechanical coupling coefficient k 2 . That is, if the cutting angle θ of the lithium niobate substrate is smaller than 41 degrees, the capacity ratio γ is expected to be small. However, according to Document 1,
If the surface of the lithium niobate substrate is metallized,
It is shown that when the cutting angle is smaller than about 60 degrees, the propagation loss of leaky SAW increases. Further, it is shown that when the surface of the lithium niobate substrate is electrically opened, the propagation loss of leaky SAW increases in a region where the angle θ is smaller than around 36 degrees.

Therefore, SA having a cutting angle smaller than 41 degrees
When a W resonator is manufactured, it is expected that the resonance characteristics deteriorate, and in particular, the resonance resistance R1 increases. Therefore, the inventors of the present application used a θ-degree rotated Y-cut lithium niobate substrate having a rotation angle smaller than 41 degrees, and set various SAW resonators using the normalized film thickness H / λ and the line occupancy t as parameters. Was prototyped, and the normalized thickness H / λ of the IDT arranged on the piezoelectric substrate was

FIG. 9 is a diagram plotting the relationship between the cutting angle θ and the resonance resistance R1 when the cutting angle θ of the lithium niobate substrate is changed. When the cutting angle was reduced, the resonance resistance R1, which was a concern before the start of the experiment, did not increase, but rather, as the cutting angle θ was smaller than 41 degrees, the resonance resistance was reduced. Although the experimental results did not agree with the relationship between the cutting angle of the lithium niobate substrate and the propagation loss of leaky SAW shown in Document 1, the IDT
It is assumed that the propagation loss of leaky SAW is reduced due to the effect of the mass load effect due to the electrode film thickness.

In the above description, an example of the SAW resonator in which the electrode fingers facing each other of the IDT are weighted by the intersection width has been described.
If the intersection width of each electrode finger facing the IDT is the same,
When the standardized film thickness H / λ is set to be larger than 0.075, a periodic small spurious is generated between the resonance frequency and the antiresonance frequency. Therefore, the standardized film thickness is 0.053 <H / λ ≦
It has been confirmed by experiments that it is preferable to select a value within the range of 0.075. To summarize the above results, in the SAW resonator in which the cutting angle θ of the θ-degree rotated Y-cut lithium niobate substrate is smaller than 41 degrees and the width of the electrode finger facing the IDT is weighted by the cross width, the standardized film thickness H / Λ is 0.053
<H / λ <0.102, and when the intersection width of each electrode finger facing the IDT is the same, the standardized film thickness H /
If λ is selected in the range of 0.053 <H / λ ≦ 0.075,
The capacitance ratio γ can be reduced without deteriorating the resonance characteristics. By setting the line occupancy t of the IDT to t <0.62, the capacitance ratio γ can be further reduced without deteriorating the resonance characteristics. It is possible.
