Description
(1.1)弾性波装置の全体構成
以下、実施形態1に係る弾性波装置1について、図面を参照して説明する。
次に、弾性波装置1の各構成要素について、図面を参照して説明する。
積層型基板2は、図3に示すように、高音速支持基板21と、低音速膜23と、圧電体部24と、を含む。高音速支持基板21では、圧電体部24を伝搬する弾性波の音速よりも伝搬するバルク波の音速が高速である。低音速膜23は、高音速支持基板21上に形成されている。ここにおいて、「高音速支持基板21上に設けられている」とは、高音速支持基板21上に直接的に設けられている場合と、高音速支持基板21上に間接的に設けられている場合と、を含む。低音速膜23では、圧電体部24を伝搬する弾性波の音速よりも伝搬するバルク波の音速が低速である。圧電体部24は、低音速膜23上に設けられている。ここにおいて、「低音速膜23上に設けられている」とは、低音速膜23上に直接的に設けられている場合と、低音速膜23上に間接的に設けられている場合と、を含む。圧電体部24は、高音速支持基板21上に間接的に設けられている。この場合、弾性波装置1では、高音速支持基板21と圧電体部24との間に低音速膜23が設けられていることにより、弾性波の音速が低下する。弾性波は本質的に低音速な媒質にエネルギーが集中する。したがって、弾性波装置1では、圧電体部24内及び弾性波が励振されているIDT電極3内への弾性波エネルギーの閉じ込め効果を高めることができる。そのため、弾性波装置1では、低音速膜23が設けられていない場合に比べて、損失を低減し、Q値を高めることができる。
2つの反射器8は、圧電体部24上に設けられている。より詳細には、2つの反射器8は、圧電体部24の一の主面241上に設けられている。ここで、2つの反射器8は、第2方向D2において3つのIDT電極3のうち両側のIDT電極3それぞれにおける真ん中のIDT電極3とは反対側に、1つずつ配置されている。以下では、説明の便宜上、3つのIDT電極3を区別する場合に、複数のIDT電極3のうち第2方向D2において隣り合う2つのIDT電極3の一方をIDT電極3A、他方をIDT電極3Bと称することもある。図1及び2の例では、3つのIDT電極3のうち真ん中のIDT電極3をIDT電極3Aと称し、両端のIDT電極3をIDT電極3Bと称する。
IDT電極3は、アルミニウム(Al)、銅(Cu)、白金(Pt)、金(Au)、銀(Ag)、チタン(Ti)、ニッケル(Ni)、クロム(Cr)、モリブデン(Mo)、タングステン(W)又はこれらの金属のいずれかを主体とする合金などの適宜の金属材料により形成することができる。また、IDT電極3は、これらの金属又は合金からなる複数の金属膜を積層した構造を有していてもよい。IDT電極3の厚さは、例えば、150nmである。
図4は、図1及び2の真ん中のIDT電極3Aの左側の端に位置する第1電極指6と、図1及び2の左側のIDT電極3Bの右側の端に位置する第1電極指6と、を含む拡大図である。図1、2及び4において「H」の記号が表記されている高電位側部分と、「E」の記号が表記されている低電位側部分とは、電位が異なる。例えば、図4において、IDT電極3Aの左側の端に位置する第1電極指6と、IDT電極3Bの右側の端に位置する第1電極指6とは、電位が異なる。また、図4において、IDT電極3Aの左側の端に位置する第1電極指6と、この第1電極指6に近接する、IDT電極3Aの第2バスバー5とは、電位が異なる。また、図4において、IDT電極3Bの右側の端に位置する第1電極指6と、この第1電極指6に近接する、IDT電極3Bの第2バスバー5とは、電位が異なる。また、IDT電極3Aの第2バスバー5とIDT電極3Bの第2バスバー5とは、電位が異なる。
複数のIDT電極3のうち第2方向D2において隣り合う2つのIDT電極3の一方を第1IDT電極、他方を第2IDT電極としたとき、第1IDT電極(IDT電極3A又は3B)では、第2IDT電極(IDT電極3B又は3A)に最も近い第1電極指6に関して、例えば、図4に示すように、第1距離L1が第2距離L2よりも短い。第1距離L1は、第1方向D1に沿った中央部60の中心線6Xと太幅部62の第2IDT電極側の外縁621との第2方向D2における最大距離である。第2距離L2は、中心線6Xと太幅部62の第2IDT電極とは反対側の外縁622との第2方向D2における最大距離である。第1電極指6の中央部60の第2方向D2における幅をW0とすると、第1距離L1及び第2距離L2は、いずれもW0/2よりも長い。実施形態1に係る弾性波装置1では、隣り合う2つのIDT電極3のペアにおいて、IDT電極3Aを第1IDT電極とすると、IDT電極3Bが第2IDT電極となり、IDT電極3Bを第1IDT電極とすると、IDT電極3Aが第2IDT電極となる。第1IDT電極において第2IDT電極に最も近い第1電極指6の太幅部62が、第1方向D1において中央部60と重なる部分620から、第2方向D2において互いに反対向きに突出している2つの突部6210、6220を含んでいる(図4参照)。突部6210は、第2方向D2において中央部60よりも第2IDT電極側に突出している。突部6220は、第2方向D2において中央部60よりも第2IDT電極側とは反対の第2電極指7側に突出している。
