Abstract
Disclosed is a surface acoustic wave device which has IDT electrodes arranged over a lithium tantalate piezoelectric substrate and is capable of suppressing propagation losses even at a high frequency band equal to or higher than 2 GHz as low as possible in order to utilize surface acoustic waves including LSAW. For this purpose, 45° to 46° rotated YX-cut lithium tantalate substrate is used as the piezoelectric substrate, a thickness of the IDT electrode is set to 7.5% λ to 8% λ, and a metallization ratio in electrode fingers of the IDT electrode is set to 0.55 to 0.65.
