Abstract
The invention provides an in-plane rotational ST-cut SAW resonator that is formed of an in-plane rotational ST-cut crystal plate having Eulerian angles of (0°, 113° to 135°, and ±(40° to 49°)). The in-plane rotational ST-cut SAW resonator can include an interdigital transducer (IDT) electrode for exciting a Rayleigh wave on the main surface. The ratio Lt/Pt of the electrode width Lt and the interelectrode pitch Pt of the IDT electrode is 0.5 or more and 0.65 or less. Accordingly, a reduction in the fluctuation in resonance frequency relative to the variations in an IDT electrode of a surface acoustic wave device by using the in-plane rotated ST-cut crystal plate around the Z′-axis can be achieved.
