Interface Acoustic Waves in 128° YX-LiNbO₃/SU-8/Overcoat Structures by Cinzia Caliendo, Massimiliano Benetti, Domenico Cannatà, Farouk Laidoudi, Gaetana Petrone

“…The propagation of interface acoustic waves (IAWs) in 128° YX-LiNbO₃/SU-8/overcoat structures was theoretically studied and experimentally investigated for different types of overcoat materials and thicknesses of the SU-8 adhesive layer. Three-dimensional finite element method analysis was performed using Comsol Multiphysics software to design an optimized multilayer configuration able to achieve an efficient guiding effect of the IAW at the LiNbO₃/overcoat interface. …”
