Abstract
A method of making an acoustic wave device includes forming or providing a substrate, forming or providing a functional layer over at least a portion of the substrate, forming or providing a piezoelectric layer over at least a portion of the functional layer, and forming or providing an interdigital transducer electrode over the piezoelectric layer. Forming or providing the piezoelectric layer includes removing a portion of the piezoelectric layer so that the piezoelectric layer has an outer edge spaced inward of an outer edge of the substrate, and so that the outer edge of the piezoelectric layer is tapered at an angle relative to a surface of the substrate to thereby reduce an acoustic reflection magnitude at said outer edge of the piezoelectric layer.
