2. Description of the Related Art A multi-stage connection type surface acoustic wave resonator filter is a resonator type filter element in which two surface acoustic wave resonators having interdigital electrodes and reflector electrodes are provided in parallel on the surface of a piezoelectric substrate. Is further arranged in parallel and is connected in multiple stages, which is intended to improve the guaranteed damping amount and damping gradient. Each of the filter elements used here is usually made of one having the same pass band characteristic. However, when the pass band width is wide, the pass band characteristic becomes a so-called bimodal characteristic as shown in the graph of FIG. 7A, and in such a case, the group delay characteristic loses flatness and the surface acoustic wave filter. However, there is a problem in that when the above is used in a communication device or the like involving a pulse modulation method, it is not preferable because the pulse shape is different.

A method of combining a wide band filter and a narrow band filter is conceivable as a configuration for obtaining a flat group delay characteristic with a so-called unimodal characteristic as a pass characteristic. There is a problem in that the damping gradient becomes too gentle and the guaranteed damping amount decreases. Further, it is possible to change the center frequency of the filter by changing the electrode pitch or the electrode thickness of some of the surface acoustic wave filter elements connected in multiple stages. It was practically difficult to slightly change the center frequency.

Since etching is performed, the frequency can be adjusted while exciting the multi-stage surface acoustic wave filter, and the frequency adjustment can be easily monitored. When the piezoelectric substrate is etched, the same effect as when the electrodes are weighted occurs and the frequency decreases, and when the electrodes are etched, the opposite effect causes the frequency to increase. Of course, other electrical characteristics such as the guaranteed attenuation amount will not be adversely affected in practical use.

A monitor 5 is connected between the input electrode 29 and the output electrode 26 of the surface acoustic wave filter to monitor the frequency of the surface acoustic wave filter while exciting it. Then, dry etching is performed while exciting the surface acoustic wave filter. When the etching object is a quartz plate (piezoelectric substrate), C 2 F 6 or Ar may be used as the etching atmosphere.
When the electrodes have etching symmetry, the atmosphere is, for example, CC.
