Abstract

Acoustic resonator devices and filters, and methods of making the same. An acoustic resonator includes a piezoelectric plate and an interdigital transducer (IDT) including interleaved fingers on the piezoelectric plate. The piezoelectric plate and the IDT are configured such that a radio frequency signal applied to the IDT excites a shear primary acoustic mode within the piezoelectric plate. The acoustic resonator further includes a front-side dielectric layer on the piezoelectric plate between the fingers of the IDT, wherein a resonance frequency of the acoustic resonator device has an inverse dependence on a thickness of the front-side dielectric layer.
