Abstract
In an elastic wave device, an IDT electrode is disposed on a piezoelectric substrate and includes a close contact layer, which includes first and second main surfaces and side surfaces. The first main surface is in contact with the piezoelectric substrate, and at least two electrode layers are disposed on the close contact layer. The at least two electrode layers include a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer. The first electrode layer is made of a material that has a higher density than that of Al. The second electrode layer has a lower density than the first electrode layer. One of the at least two electrode layers has higher weather resistance than the close contact layer and covers the side surfaces of the close contact layer.
