Abstract
A method for producing a surface acoustic wave device includes the steps of forming a resist pattern corresponding to an interdigital electrodes transducer onto a piezoelectric substrate; forming a first electrode layer comprising elemental Ti or a Ti-based alloy onto the piezoelectric substrate and the resist pattern R; forming a second electrode layer which comprises elemental Cu or an Al-based alloy containing at least 2% by weight of Cu (this layer may have a multilayered structure) onto the first electrode layer; and removing both the resist pattern R and unnecessary parts, if any, of the first electrode layer 31 and the second electrode layer to simultaneously pattern the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer. A surface acoustic wave device is constructed according to the above method.
