STACKED ACOUSTIC WAVE (AW) FILTER PACKAGES, INCLUDING CROSS-TALK REDUCTION LAYERS, AND RELATED FABRICATION METHODS

A stacked AW filter package includes a first substrate stacked on a second substrate. The first substrate has a first AW filter circuit on first surface and a metal layer on a second surface. The second substrate has a second AW filter circuit disposed in a cavity between the metal layer of the first substrate and a third surface of the second substrate.

Including the metal layer in the stacked AW filter package improves signal quality of transmitted and received signals filtered in the first and second AW filter circuits.
