Abstract
Guided Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices with improved quartz orientations are disclosed. A guided SAW device includes a quartz carrier substrate, a piezoelectric layer on a surface of the quartz carrier substrate, and at least one interdigitated transducer on a surface of the piezoelectric layer opposite the quartz carrier substrate. The quartz carrier substrate includes an orientation that provides improved performance parameters for the SAW device, including electromechanical coupling factor, resonator quality factor, temperature coefficient of frequency, and delta temperature coefficient of frequency.
