A surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter package structure includes a dielectric substrate having a dielectric layer, a first patterned conductive layer, a second patterned conductive layer, and a conductive connection layer. The conductive connection layer is electrically connected between the first patterned conductive layer and the second patterned conductive layer, which are disposed at opposite sides of the dielectric layer. The second patterned conductive layer has a finger electrode portion. An active surface of a chip is faced toward the finger electrode portion. A polymer sealing frame is disposed between the chip and the dielectric substrate and surrounds the periphery of the chip to form a chamber together with the chip and the dielectric substrate. The mold sealing layer is disposed on the dielectric substrate and covers the chip and the polymer sealing frame. A manufacturing method of the SAW filter package structure is also disclosed.

For a multilayer SAW device arranged on a carrier substrate it is proposed to use a specific material for the carrier substrate. If a silicon material having a selected range of Euler angles is used as a material for the carrier substrat improved suppression of disturbing signals is achieved.

An acoustic wave device includes in order a substrate, an acoustic reflection layer, a piezoelectric layer, an IDT electrode including a pair of comb electrodes, and wiring electrodes. The acoustic reflection layer includes a low Z dielectric layer, a high Z dielectric layer below the low Z dielectric layer and having an acoustic impedance higher than that of the low Z dielectric layer, and a metal layer above the low Z dielectric layer and having an acoustic impedance higher than that of the low Z dielectric layer. When the acoustic reflection layer is viewed in plan, in a region encompassing the IDT electrode and the wiring electrodes but no IDT electrodes other than the IDT electrode, an area including the metal layer is smaller than an area including the high Z dielectric layer.
