Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif piézo-électrique vibrant à ondes de volume qui utilise un mode de vibration de cisaillement d'épaisseur pour une couche de LiTaO3, et au moyen duquel un filtre ou un résonateur pouvant atteindre une fréquence supérieure peut être créé à l'aide d'une plaque mince à couche de LiTaO3 épaisse. Le dispositif piézo-électrique à ondes de volume (1) comprend une plaque mince piézo-électrique (5) comprenant la couche de LiTaO3, et une première et une seconde électrode (6, 7) disposées de manière à venir au contact de la plaque mince piézo-électrique (5); et utilise en mode de vibration de cisaillement d'épaisseur des ondes de volume émises par la plaque mince piézo-électrique (5) comprenant la couche de LiTaO3. La première et la seconde électrode (6, 7) comprennent un conducteur présentant une impédance acoustique spécifique inférieure à l'impédance acoustique spécifique d'ondes transversales qui se propagent dans la couche de LiTaO3. Le dispositif piézoélectrique à ondes de volume (1) présente une épaisseur des électrodes/(épaisseur LT + épaisseur de l'électrode) de 5% à 70% représentant le rapport entre l'épaisseur des électrodes (qui est l'épaisseur totale de la première et de la seconde électrode (6, 7)) et la somme des épaisseurs de la couche de LiTaO3 et des électrodes.
