Abstract

An integrated circuit is provided which includes one or more device elements formed above a base substrate, a structure forming a sealed cavity above at least a portion of the one or more device elements, and one or more conductive devices formed above the sealed cavity. A method for fabrication of such an integrated circuit is also provided. An exemplary embodiment of the integrated circuit includes a surface acoustic wave device having a plurality of tracks each with a first interdigitated transducer configured to convert a receiving electric field energy into mechanical wave energy and a second interdigitated transducer configured to convert the mechanical wave energy into an output electric field energy. The SAW device also includes a conductor arranged above and spanning across at least two tracks of the plurality of tracks and coupled to the first interdigitated transducers of at least the two tracks.
