- a protective layer 3c is not necessarily provided.
- the main electrode layer 3a is made of Cu or an alloy containing Cu as a main component. In the present embodiment, it is made of Cu. As described above, there has been a problem that electrodes made of Cu or an alloy containing Cu as a main component have insufficient adhesion to the piezoelectric substrate. In the surface acoustic wave device 1, an adhesion layer 3b is formed to improve the adhesion.
- the adhesion layer 3b is made of a NiCr alloy. As is clear from the experimental examples described later, the adhesion layer 3 b made of NiCr effectively improves the adhesion of the interdigital electrode 3 to the piezoelectric substrate 2.
- the protective layer 3c is made of a material mainly composed of a metal that is less susceptible to oxidation than Cu.
- the metal material constituting such a protective layer include Al, Ti, and Cr. , Ni, Pt, Pd, NiCr, and AlCu.
- the protective layer is made of an A 1 Cu alloy, so that the power resistance can be improved without significantly affecting the frequency characteristics of the surface acoustic wave device 1. If the protective layer is composed of only A1, which has excellent corrosion resistance, A1 and Cu constituting the main electrode layer will interdiffuse in the power withstand test, and sufficient power resistance will be obtained. hard. This is due to the low activation energy of the mutual diffusion coefficient between Cu and A 1.
- both organic solvent resistance and good power resistance can be achieved.
- the thermal energy and vibration energy during the power withstand test are different from each other in the A1-Cu alloy. This is because the diffusion of the interlayer between the main electrode and the protective layer is suppressed because of the migration. Therefore, as described above, by forming the protective layer made of the 1- ⁇ 1 ⁇ alloy, the power durability can be effectively improved without significantly affecting the frequency characteristics.

- the SiO 2 layer 4 is provided in the surface acoustic wave device 1 to improve the frequency temperature characteristics.
- the surface of the SiO 2 layer 4 is preferably flattened. However, in the surface acoustic wave device according to the present invention, the SiO 2 layer 4 may not necessarily be provided.

- h is the thickness (nm) of the main electrode layer
- Aw is the wavelength (nm) of the surface acoustic wave determined by the pitch of the interdigital electrode 3.
- the protective layer 3c was made of various metals and had a thickness of 10 nm.

- a surface acoustic wave device having no protective layer 3c and a surface acoustic wave device having a protective layer 3c made of various metals were prepared.
- a power withstand test was performed on each of the surface acoustic wave devices prepared as described above.
- the attenuation frequency characteristics were measured while applying power to the surface acoustic wave device. Specifically, a power of 0.1 W was applied as the starting power, and the power was gradually increased, and it was confirmed that the minimum insertion loss point of the attenuation frequency characteristic was deteriorated by 0.5 dB or more.
- the electric power was assumed to be blast power.
- the power application time at each stage was 5 minutes.
- Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the relationship between the type of protective layer of the surface acoustic wave device and the rupture power obtained as described above, and Fig. 3 shows the type of protective layer and the minimum insertion loss point.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the relationship between the type of protective layer of the surface acoustic wave device and the rupture power obtained as described above, and Fig. 3 shows the type of protective layer and the minimum insertion loss point.
- FIG. 2 shows a case where the protective layer is not provided and a case where A 1, Ti, NiCr and A 1 Cu are used as the material forming the protective layer 3 c.
- the bursting power could be similarly increased when the protective layer was formed using another metal such as Cr, Ni, Pt, or Pd, which is harder to oxidize than other Cu. ing.
- the magnitude of the minimum insertion loss point itself does not change much as compared with the case where the protective layer 3c is not provided. . Therefore, it can be seen that the formation of the protective layer 3c can effectively improve the power durability without significantly affecting the frequency characteristics of the surface acoustic wave device 1.
- the formation of the SiO 2 film 4 can constitute a surface acoustic wave device which is excellent not only in power durability and adhesion but also in frequency temperature characteristics.
- the S i 0 2 and the protective layer 3 c made of good adhesion material (For example T i) of the case of forming the S i 0 2 film.
- the main electrode layer 3a is composed of a normalized film thickness hZA w 0.030, that is, a Cu film having a thickness of 60 nm, and the protective layer 3c is formed of a Cu film having a thickness of 10 nm. An A1 film was formed.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 are diagrams showing the change in the breaking power when the film thickness of the adhesion layer 3b is changed, and FIG. 5 shows the minimum value when the film thickness of the adhesion layer 3b is changed. It is a figure showing change of an input loss point.
- the adhesion layer 3b made of NiCr or Ti was removed.
- the minimum insertion loss point is desirably 2.0 dB or less, and the power durability is required to be 1.5 W or more from the viewpoint of use in the transmission stage of a communication device. Therefore, in order to form the adhesion layer made of NiCr and form a good surface acoustic wave device 1, as is clear from the results of Figs. 4 and 5, the film of the adhesion layer made of NiCr is required. It is desirable that the thickness be in the range of 5 to 5011111 and the normalized thickness of 11/1 be in the range of 0.0025 to 0.025.
- an adhesion layer made of NiCr or Ti is formed as a base layer of a main electrode layer mainly composed of Cu, power durability can be effectively improved.
- the power durability can be increased to 1.5 W or more by setting the thickness of the adhesion layer within the above-mentioned desirable range.
- the protective layer 3c was formed, which not only improved the oxidation resistance without deteriorating the minimum insertion loss, but also improved the power resistance. It can be seen that the properties can be more effectively increased.
- the adhesion layer 3b was formed using NiCr or Ti. Although formed, a metal material containing NiCr or Ti as a main component may be used, and an adhesion layer may be formed with Cr, Ni, A1-Cu, or the like.
- each electrode layer in FIG. 10 shows a cross-sectional structure of the electrode configured as described above. 1 0, on L i T a 0 3 groups plate 5 1, adhesion layer 5 2, the main electrode layer 5 3 and the protective layer 54 is the product layer in this order. It should be noted that the thickness of each electrode layer in FIG. 10 is shown so as to be different from the actual thickness ratio.

- the horizontal axis in FIG. 11 indicates the type of metal constituting the protective layer. Incidentally, in FIG. 1 1, - it is the result when the case as well as S I_ ⁇ two layers 4 Example 1 is formed into Migihitsuji covering the electrodes, mouth is formed S io 2 layers Here are the results when none exist.
- the minimum insertion loss point is the same as when the protective layer is not formed or when the protective layer is formed from another metal material such as A1. It can be seen that the formation of the protective layer made of the u alloy can effectively increase the power durability without significantly affecting the frequency characteristics of the surface acoustic wave device.
- FIG. 13 is a schematic sectional view showing a more preferable example of the electrode structure of the surface acoustic wave device of the present invention, and is a sectional view corresponding to FIG.
- the electrode layer 55 composed of Ti or NiCr is formed between the main electrode layer 53 composed of Cu and the protective layer 54 composed of the A1-Cu alloy. Therefore, as described above, the power durability is further improved.
