Description
支持基板、
前記支持基板の表面上に設けられた接合層であって、酸化珪素からなる接合層、および、
ニオブ酸リチウム、タンタル酸リチウムおよびニオブ酸リチウム-タンタル酸リチウムからなる群より選ばれた材質からなる圧電性材料基板
を備えている接合体であって、
前記支持基板の前記表面に凹部が設けられており、前記接合層が、前記凹部上に延びる構造欠陥部を備えていることを特徴とする。
まず、図1(a)に示すように、一対の主面1a、1bを有する圧電性材料基板1を準備する。次いで、図1(b)に示すように、圧電性材料基板1の接合面1aに対して矢印Aのようにプラズマを照射し、表面活性化された接合面5を得る。
支持基板3の材質は特に限定されないが、好ましくは、シリコン、水晶、サイアロン、ムライト、サファイアおよび透光性アルミナからなる群より選ばれた材質からなる。これによって、弾性波素子11の周波数の温度特性を一層改善することができる。
表面活性化時の圧力は、100Pa以下が好ましく、80Pa以下が更に好ましい。また、雰囲気は窒素のみであって良く、酸素のみであってよいが、窒素、酸素の混合物であってもよい。
プラズマ処理した基板の接合面5と接合面6同士を室温で互いに接触させる。このとき真空中で処理してもよいが、より好ましくは大気中で接触させる。
