Abstract

An acoustic surface wave device comprises a piezoelectric substrate (1), an input transducer (2), an output transducer (3) and acoustical absorbent layer patterns (5, 6) for absorbing undesired acoustic surface waves and bulk waves (S.sub.4, S.sub.5). Each of the acoustical absorbent layer patterns (5, 6) has zigzag-shaped or triangular shaped edges, i.e., a recess portion (R.sub.1, R.sub.3) and a protruding portion (R.sub.2, R.sub.4). The recess portion has a further recess portion (R.sub.1 ', R.sub.3 ') which is formed diagonally with respect to the propagation path of acoustic surface waves.
