A method of manufacture for an acoustic resonator or filter device. In an example, the present method can include forming metal electrodes with different geometric areas and profile shapes coupled to a piezoelectric layer overlying a substrate. These metal electrodes can also be formed within cavities of the piezoelectric layer or the substrate with varying geometric areas. Combined with specific dimensional ratios and ion implantations, such techniques can increase device performance metrics. In an example, the present method can include forming various types of perimeter structures surrounding the metal electrodes, which can be on top or bottom of the piezoelectric layer. These perimeter structures can use various combinations of modifications to shape, material, and continuity. These perimeter structures can also be combined with sandbar structures, piezoelectric layer cavities, the geometric variations previously discussed to improve device performance metrics.

Bulk acoustic wave resonators of two or more different filters can be on a common die. The two filters can be included in a multiplexer, such as a duplexer, or implemented as standalone filters. With bulk acoustic wave resonators of two or more filters on the same die, the filters can be implemented in less physical space compared to implementing the same filters of different die. Related methods, radio frequency systems, radio frequency modules, and wireless communication devices are also disclosed.

A piezoelectric vibrating piece includes a piezoelectric substrate, a first excitation electrode, and a second excitation electrode. The piezoelectric substrate is formed into a flat plate shape and vibrates in a thickness-shear vibration mode. The first excitation electrode is formed on one principal surface of the piezoelectric substrate. The second excitation electrode is formed on another principal surface of the piezoelectric substrate. The first excitation electrode is formed to entirely have an identical thickness. The second excitation electrode has a main thickness portion and an inclined portion. The main thickness portion has a constant thickness. The inclined portion is formed in a peripheral area of the main thickness portion and gradually decreases in thickness from a portion in contact with the main thickness portion to an outermost periphery of the second excitation electrode. The main thickness portion has a thickness larger than the thickness of the first excitation electrode.

A crystal resonator vibrates in a thickness-shear mode. The crystal resonator includes excitation electrodes being disposed on a front surface and a back surface of a crystal element. The excitation electrodes are disposed on the crystal element to have a positional relationship, where a displacement distribution at an edge of the excitation electrode on the front surface is identical to a displacement distribution at an edge of the excitation electrode on the back surface.
