Temperature-stable surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices were fabricated using a stacking procedure based on the direct bonding of a piezoelectric single crystal LiTaO3 layer on a glass substrates. The piezoelectric layer experienced thermal stress due to the smaller thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of the glass substrate. By using a glass substrate with small TEC and minimizing the LiTaO3/glass thickness ratio, the temperature coefficient of frequency of the SAW devices was maintained at approximately -6 ppm/°C from -30 °C to 80 °C.
