Abstract
Abstract A compact, low height, low cost, and high reliability surface acoustic wave device, and its method of manufacture. The surface acoustic wave device consists of a substrate, a comb-electrode disposed on the main surface of the substrate, plural electrode pads disposed around the comb-electrode, protecting means covering the comb-electrode through a closed space produced by combining the comb-electrode and the electrode pads with the substrate by using substantially covalent bonding force acting between conductive bumps formed on the electrode bumps, a conductive adhesive layer disposed at least on the top of the conductive bumps, and a package adhered on the conductive bumps by means of the conductive adhesive, and insulation adhesive filled into the package contacting the conductive adhesive, the conductive bumps, and the protective means.
