Abstract
An acoustic wave resonator includes: a piezoelectric substrate; an IDT located on the piezoelectric substrate and including comb-shaped electrodes facing each other, each of the comb-shaped electrodes including: electrode fingers exciting an acoustic wave; and a bus bar to which the electrode fingers are connected; a dielectric film located on the piezoelectric substrate in an overlap region, where the electrode fingers of one of the comb-shaped electrodes and the electrode fingers of the other overlap, so as to cover the electrode fingers; and an additional film located on the dielectric film in the overlap region and having a density greater than that of the dielectric film, and of which a film thickness in edge regions corresponding to both edges of the overlap region in an extension direction of the electrode fingers is greater than a film thickness in a central region sandwiched between the edge regions in the overlap region.
