Fifth-generation (5G)-focused piezoelectric resonators and filters

A piezoelectric thin film suspended above a carrier substrate is adapted to propagate an acoustic wave in a Lamb mode excited by a component of an electric field that is oriented in a longitudinal direction along a length of the piezoelectric thin film. A first signal electrode is located on the piezoelectric thin film and oriented in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A first ground electrode is located on the piezoelectric thin film and oriented in the transverse direction. The first ground electrode is separated from the first signal electrode by a gap in which the acoustic wave resonates. A first release window and a second release window are located at a first end and a second end of the piezoelectric thin film, respectively. Intermittent release windows are located beyond distal ends of the first signal electrode and the first ground electrode.
