[0137] In the manufacturing method of the heterogeneous integrated filter, the heterogeneous integrated filter is formed by setting the capacitor 2 and the acoustic device 3 on the substrate 1, electrically connecting the capacitor 2 and the acoustic device 3, setting the inductor 4 on the capacitor 2 and / or the acoustic device 3, and finally setting the cavity 100 on both sides of the acoustic device 3 along the thickness direction of the substrate 1. The heterogeneous integrated filter has high integration degree due to the simultaneous integration of the capacitor 2 and the acoustic device 3 on the substrate 1. The integrated all-dielectric device formed by the capacitor 2 and the inductor 4 supports large bandwidth, and the acoustic device 3 supports high out-of-band suppression, so that large bandwidth and high out-of-band suppression can be supported simultaneously.
