Abstract
A method of manufacturing composite structures, or composite substrates, for a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) device are provided. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a piezoelectric substrate is provided. A supporting substrate is formed over a first surface of the piezoelectric substrate. The first surface of the piezoelectric substrate may be unpolished. A second surface of the piezoelectric substrate is then processed to a desired thickness and polished. SAW device components such as, for example, interdigitated transducers (IDTs) and reflectors are then formed on the polished surface of the piezoelectric substrate. The supporting substrate may be formed using any desired type of deposition or growth process.
