Abstract
There is provided a lamb wave device with small variations in frequency, the device including: a piezoelectric thin film; an IDT electrode which is provided on a main surface of the piezoelectric thin film; and a support structure which supports a laminate of the IDT electrode and the piezoelectric thin film, and is formed with a cavity that isolates the laminate, wherein a film thickness h of the piezoelectric thin film and a pitch p of a finger of the IDT electrode are selected such that a lamb wave is excited at a target frequency, the lamb wave making dispersibility of a sonic velocity v with respect to the film thickness h of the piezoelectric thin film small.
