Abstract
The single crystal wafer of lithium tantalate provided by the invention is characterized by the limited range of variation of the value of double refraction which should not exceed .+-.6.times.10.sup.-4 so that the value of the double refraction is given by 4.5.times.10.sup.-3 .+-.6.times.10.sup.-4. When single crystal wafers of lithium tantalate each satisfying the above requirements are used for the manufacture of SAW devices, the devices may have a very small deviation of the SAW sound velocity from the standard value and the range of variation of the SAW sound velocity within a wafer is also very small so that the SAW devices can be manufactured with greatly improved productivity and excellent quality.
