An electronic component includes a substrate a functional section provided on the substrate, and a sealing body which is provided on the substrate and seals the functional section. In a temperature region having a lowest temperature that is at least as high as the glass transition temperature of the sealing body, the coefficient of linear expansion of the sealing body is greater than the coefficient of linear expansion of the substrate. In a temperature region having a highest temperature that is lower than the glass transition temperature of the sealing body, the coefficient of linear expansion of the sealing body is less than the coefficient of linear expansion of the substrate. The electronic component exhibits superior reliability even upon prolonged use.

Electronic component

An acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, comb-shaped electrodes, wires, a sealing body, terminal electrodes, and connection electrodes. The comb-shaped electrodes are disposed on the piezoelectric substrate and are connected to the wires. The sealing body is disposed on the piezoelectric substrate in such a manner that the comb-shaped electrodes are sealed between the piezoelectric substrate and the sealing body. The terminal electrodes are disposed on the sealing body. The connection electrodes penetrate the sealing body so as to electrically connect the wires and the terminal electrodes, respectively. A first linear expansion coefficient in a first temperature range below a first glass transition temperature of the sealing body is larger than a second linear expansion coefficient in a second temperature range above the first glass transition temperature.

Acoustic wave device and sealing body contained therein

A surface acoustic wave device having a three-layered structure of sealing resin for sealing a mounting substrate and a surface acoustic wave element in which the elastic modulus of resin of the intermediate layer is higher than that of resin of the outermost layer and the elastic modulus of resin of the innermost layer is lower than that of resin of the outermost layer. The three-layered structure of the sealing resin suppresses crush of a bump when a pressure is applied from the outside and reduces stress applied to the bump due to the change in temperature.

Surface acoustic wave device

A piezoelectric vibrator which uses lithium tantalate as a piezoelectric material and of which main vibration is thickness shear vibration. The thickness direction of the vibrator forms angle of 0&#xb0;&#xb1;5&#xb0; to the X-axis of a single crystal. The longitudinal direction of vibrator lies, with the X-axis used as a rotation axis, in direction n +57&#xb0;&#xb1;2&#xb0; clockwise from the Y-axis of the single crystal. A ratio L/H of the length L of the vibrator to the thickness H is not less than 15. A ratio Le/H of the length Le of the exciting electrode to the thickness H of the vibrator element portion is 3&#x2013;6. Accordingly, a vibrator having improved temperature characteristics and a large Q is realized.
