A first conductor level includes first and second interdigital transducer (IDT) first-level busbars disposed along opposing sides of the diaphragm, and first and second sets of IDT fingers extending from the first and second busbars, respectively, wherein the first and second sets of IDT fingers are interleaved and disposed on the diaphragm. A second conductor level includes first and second second-level busbars that overlap at least a portion of the first and second busbars, respectively.

An acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric layer and first and second electrodes. The piezoelectric layer is made of lithium niobate or lithium tantalate. The first electrode and the second electrode oppose each other in a direction intersecting with a thickness direction of the piezoelectric layer. The first electrode and the second electrode are electrodes adjacent to each other. d/p is about 0.5 or smaller, where d is a thickness of the piezoelectric layer and p is a center-to-center distance between the first electrode and the second electrode. An intersecting width is about 4.6p or greater. The intersecting width is a dimension of a region where the first electrode and the second electrode oppose each other. The direction of the dimension is an extending direction of the first electrode and the second electrode.
