Abstract

Surface acoustic wave devices are disclosed which have enhanced reflectivity gratings with conductive stripes between grooves in the substrate or conductive stripes within the grooves. For lithium niobate substrates, aluminum stripes coupled together and positioned between grooves or unconnected and positioned within the grooves are preferred. For quartz substrates, gold stripes within the grooves are used. Methods for fabricating such structures are also disclosed.
