Abstract

An acoustic wave element includes: resonators 2 each including an electrode to excite acoustic waves; a power supply wiring portion 3 that is disposed so as to connect the resonators 2 electrically; a piezoelectric substrate 4 on which the resonators 2 and the power supply wiring portion 3 are formed; a second medium 5 that is formed on the piezoelectric substrate 4 so as to cover the resonators 2; and a third medium 6 that is formed on the piezoelectric substrate 4 so as to cover at least the second medium 5 and the power supply wiring portion 3. A side surface 34 of the power supply wiring portion 3 that is in contact with a surface of the piezoelectric substrate 4 forms an obtuse first angle θ with respect to the surface 4a of the piezoelectric substrate 4.
