[0060] Figure 8 It is a filtering characteristic diagram of the elastic wave device in the first embodiment, as Figure 8 shown. The operating frequency of the elastic wave device in the first embodiment is 902.5 MHz, while the operating frequency of the elastic wave device in the above-mentioned preferred embodiment is 453 MHz. It can be seen that by adding the first metal layer 101 to the interdigital electrode in the above-mentioned preferred embodiment of the elastic wave device, the mass of the interdigital electrode is increased, the wave velocity of the surface acoustic wave on the interdigital electrode is reduced, and thus the bandwidth of the surface acoustic wave filter including the elastic wave device is broadened.

The interdigital electrodes 10 include a first metal layer 101, a second metal layer 102, an anti-oxidation layer 103, and an adhesion layer 105.

The substrate 2 of the second embodiment has the same structure as the substrate of the elastic wave device in the above-mentioned preferred embodiment, and includes a lithium tantalate piezoelectric layer 201, a silicon oxide piezoelectric layer 202, and a spinel piezoelectric layer 203.
[0063] Figure 10 The surface of the interdigital transducer of Example 2 is shown as Figure 10 shown. Due to the melting and diffusion phenomena occurring between the first metal layer 101 and the second metal layer 102, black spots appear on the surface of the interdigital transducer including the elastic wave device. Thus, it can be seen that the elastic wave device of the above preferred embodiment adds an anti-melting layer 104 in the interdigital electrode to prevent the melting and diffusion phenomena occurring between the first metal layer 101 and the second metal layer 102, thereby extending the service life of the elastic wave device. Example 3
[0064] Figure 11 The structural schematic diagram of the elastic wave device of Example 3 is shown as Figure 11 shown. The elastic wave device of this Example 1 includes an interdigital transducer 1 and a substrate 2, and the above interdigital transducer 1 is located above the substrate 2. Among them, the interdigital transducer 1 includes a plurality of interdigital electrodes 10. The interdigital electrodes 10 are located above the substrate 2. The interdigital electrodes 10 include a first metal layer 101, a second metal layer 102, an anti-oxidation layer 103, an anti-melting layer 104, and an adhesion layer 105.

The substrate 2 of this Example 2 has the same structure as the substrate of the elastic wave device of the above preferred embodiment, and includes a lithium tantalate piezoelectric layer 201, a silicon oxide piezoelectric layer 202, and a spinel piezoelectric layer 203.
[0065] Figure 12 The surface of the interdigital transducer of Example 3 is shown as Figure 12 shown. Since in Example 3, the second metal layer 102 with a smaller density and chemically active properties is set above the first metal layer 101, the surface of the interdigital transducer is corroded; Figure 13 The filtering characteristic diagram of the elastic wave device of Example 3 is shown as Figure 13As shown, the operating frequency of the elastic wave device in Embodiment 3 is 527.5 MHz. It can be seen therefrom that the elastic wave device of the above preferred embodiment prevents the surface of the surface acoustic wave filter including the elastic wave device from being corroded by disposing the first metal layer 101 with a relatively large density and high chemical stability above the second metal layer 102, thereby extending the service life of the elastic wave device; and the operating frequency of the elastic wave device of the above preferred embodiment is 527.5 MHz, which is lower than the operating frequency of the elastic wave device in Embodiment 3. Therefore, the surface acoustic wave filter including the elastic wave device of the above preferred embodiment has a lower passband frequency and a wider frequency band.
[0066] In summary, the elastic wave device of the above preferred embodiment broadens the frequency band width of the surface acoustic wave filter including the elastic wave device by adding the first metal layer to the interdigital electrode, thereby increasing the mass of the interdigital electrode; prevents the surface of the surface acoustic wave filter including the elastic wave device from being corroded by disposing the first metal layer with a relatively large density and high stability above the second metal layer; reduces the device size of the surface acoustic wave filter by adding the first metal layer with a density greater than 16,000 kg / m³ to the interdigital electrode; and improves the Q value of the surface acoustic wave filter by adding the second metal layer with a relatively large conductivity, solving the problem in the prior art that due to the structural limitation of the traditional surface acoustic wave filter, its frequency band width is relatively limited, and achieving the broadening of the frequency band width of the surface acoustic wave filter while preventing the surface of the surface acoustic wave filter from being corroded.
