Abstract

A thin film bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator structure and filter which can be fabricated by inexpensive manufacturing techniques and in smaller size than conventional such products are to be provided. The BAW resonator structure and filter have a substrate, a first BAW resonator placed over the substrate, an acoustic reflection layer placed over the first BAW resonator and a second BAW resonator placed over the acoustic reflection layer, and the acoustic reflection layer is electroconductive. Herein, the acoustic reflection layer constitutes a first electrode, and this first electrode electrically connects and acoustically separates the first BAW resonator and the second BAW resonator.
