Abstract

In a method of forming a part of a through-hole for a piezoelectric substrate having an excitation electrode and a leading electrode which are formed on a first surface of the piezoelectric substrate and are made of a thin metal film in order to establish a conductivity, the method includes: blasting a position on a second surface of the piezoelectric substrate corresponding to the leading electrode to form a preliminary hole by boring the piezoelectric substrate in its halfway; etching a bottom of the preliminary hole to form a part of a through-hole through which a part of the leading electrode is exposed; and placing a conductive material in the part of a through-hole, the conductive material contacting the leading electrode from a side of the second surface of the piezoelectric substrate.
