Abstract

Methods of fabricating filter devices are disclosed. A back surface of a piezoelectric plate having a first thickness is attached to a substrate. The front surface of the piezoelectric plate is selectively etched to thin a portion of the piezoelectric plate from the first thickness to a second thickness less than the first thickness. Cavities are formed in the substrate such that portions of the piezoelectric plate form a plurality of diaphragms spanning respective cavities. A conductor pattern is formed on the front surface. The conductor pattern includes a first interdigital transducer (IDT) with interleaved fingers on a first diaphragm having the first thickness and a second IDT with interleaved fingers on a second diaphragm having the second thickness.
