Abstract
An acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate including a crystal axis and an IDT electrode. When an acoustic wave propagation direction is a first direction and a direction perpendicular to the first direction is a second direction, the crystal axis of the piezoelectric substrate is inclined toward the second direction with respect to the thickness direction. The IDT electrode includes first and second electrode fingers interdigitated with each other. The portion where the first and second electrode fingers overlap in the first direction is a crossing region. The crossing region includes a center region that is centrally located in the second direction and first and second low-acoustic-velocity regions that are located on both sides of the center region in the second direction and in which the acoustic velocity is lower than the acoustic velocity in the center region. The first and second low-acoustic-velocity regions are asymmetrical.
