Abstract
A thin film piezoelectric bulk acoustic wave resonator has a multilayer structure including a piezoelectric thin film, a first metal electrode film, and a second metal electrode film. At least a part of the piezoelectric thin film is interposed between the first and second metal electrodes. A resonance part and a connection part are formed on an insulating substrate as films by a thin film forming apparatus. The resonance part vibrates in radial extension mode with a center of the piezoelectric thin film used as a node, the piezoelectric thin film of two resonance parts is polarized in a direction perpendicular to a film surface, and a width of the connection part is one-fourth or less of a width of two resonance parts.
