Abstract

An acoustic wave device includes: a piezoelectric substrate; electrodes sandwiching the piezoelectric substrate and exciting a thickness shear vibration in the piezoelectric substrate; and an edge region that is a region surrounding a center region of a resonance region, wherein a first region of the edge region is located on both sides of the center region in a first direction substantially parallel to a displacement direction of a thickness shear vibration, a second region of the edge region is located on both sides of the center region in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, a width of the second region is different from a width of the first region, and acoustic velocities of acoustic waves in the piezoelectric substrate in the first and second regions are less than that in the piezoelectric substrate in the center region.
