Abstract
An acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, an IDT electrode on the substrate, an internal electrode above the substrate, a side wall above the internal electrode, a lid on the side wall, an electrode base layer on the internal electrode, a connection electrode on the electrode base layer, and an anti-corrosion layer between the internal electrode and the side wall. The internal electrode is electrically connected to the IDT electrode. The side wall surrounds the IDT electrode. The lid covers the IDT electrode to provide a space above the IDT electrode. The electrode base layer is provided outside the space and the side wall. The anti-corrosion layer protrudes outside the side wall, and is made of material less soluble in plating solution than the internal electrode. This acoustic wave device prevents the internal electrode from breaking due to plating solution, hence being manufactured at a high yield rate.
