Abstract
An acoustic surface wave element having an oscillation frequency stable against temperature changes, and a wide range of oscillation frequency adjustment, is provided by an acoustic surface wave element comprising: a substrate of a 36.degree. rotated Y-cut single crystal lithium tantalate having X, Y and Z crystal axes and a top surface and side walls; electrodes formed on the top surface of the substrate such that an acoustic surface wave is propagated in a direction of the X-axis of the substrate and an oscillation of the acoustic surface wave occurs at a predetermined frequency, the electrodes having a thickness equal to 1 to 4% of a wavelength of the acoustic surface wave at the oscillation; and a plasma CVD-deposited layer of silicon dioxide covering the electrodes and the substrate, the silicon dioxide layer having a refractive index of 1.445 to 1.486 and a thickness equal to 16 to 26% of the wavelength of the acoustic surface wave at the oscillation.
