Abstract

A surface acoustic wave device comprises a diamond layer (12) or a substrate (11) with a diamond layer (12) formed thereon, an Al electrode (13) formed on the diamond layer (12), and a ZnO piezoelectric thin film layer (14) formed on the diamond layer (12) with the Al electrode (13) covered by the ZnO piezoelectric thin film layer (14). The ZnO piezoelectric thin film layer (14) has a thickness h1 within a range defined by 0.65.ltoreq.kh1.ltoreq.0.75 while the Al electrode (13) has a thickness h2 within a range defined by 0.03.ltoreq.kh2.ltoreq.0.04, where k is given by k=2 .pi./.lambda. and .lambda. represents an electrode period.
