Abstract
An acoustic wave device includes a substrate, a dielectric film formed on the substrate and a pair of IDT electrodes opposing each other provided between the substrate and the dielectric film. At least one of the substrate and the dielectric film is piezoelectric. The IDT electrodes each include an electrode finger that extends in at least one direction. A film thickness of the dielectric film changes in a gap portion between a tip of the electrode finger of one of the IDT electrodes and the other opposing IDT electrode in the direction of extension of the electrode finger.
