A temperature compensated acoustic surface wave device, such as a surface wave delay line is provided in which temperature compensation is provided by the deposition of an interdigital electrode structure on a substrate with an overlay film surface of piezoelectric material of a predetermined thickness. A double substrate arrangement is also disclosed in which the interdigital electrode structure is deposited upon the surface of a non-piezoelectric layer which in turn is placed upon the surface of a piezoelectric substrate.
