Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A bonded body includes a supporting substrate; a piezoelectric material substrate composed of a material selected from the group consisting of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate and lithium niobate-lithium tantalate; and a bonding layer bonding the supporting substrate and the piezoelectric material substrate and contacting a main surface of the piezoelectric material substrate. The bonding layer includes a void extending from the piezoelectric material substrate to the supporting substrate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A bonded body comprising: a supporting substrate; a piezoelectric material substrate comprising a material selected from the group consisting of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate and lithium niobate-lithium tantalate; and a bonding layer bonding said supporting substrate and said piezoelectric material substrate and contacting a main surface of said piezoelectric material substrate, wherein said bonding layer comprises a void extending from said piezoelectric material substrate toward said supporting substrate, and wherein a recess is provided on said main surface of said piezoelectric material substrate and said void is communicated with said recess. 2. The bonded body of claim 1 , wherein said void penetrates said bonding layer in a direction of thickness of said bonding layer. 3. The bonded body of claim 1 , wherein said bonding layer comprises a material selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide and tantalum pentoxide. 4. The bonded body of claim 1 , wherein said bonding layer contacts a main surface of said supporting substrate. 5. The bonded body of claim 1 , further comprising an intermediate layer between said bonding layer and said supporting substrate. 6. The bonded body of claim 1 , wherein said piezoelectric material substrate has a thickness of 20 μm or smaller. 7. A bonded body comprising: a supporting substrate; a piezoelectric material substrate comprising a material selected from the group consisting of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate and lithium niobate-lithium tantalate; and a bonding layer bonding said supporting substrate and said piezoelectric material substrate and contacting a main surface of said piezoelectric material substrate, wherein said bonding layer comprises a void extending from said piezoelectric material substrate toward said supporting substrate, and wherein said bonding layer comprises a material selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide and tantalum pentoxide. 8. The bonded body of claim 7 , wherein said bonding layer contacts a main surface of said supporting substrate. 9. The bonded body of claim 7 , further comprising an intermediate layer between said bonding layer and said supporting substrate. 10. The bonded body of claim 7 , wherein said piezoelectric material substrate has a thickness of 20 μm or smaller. 11. A bonded body comprising: a supporting substrate; a piezoelectric material substrate comprising a material selected from the group consisting of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate and lithium niobate-lithium tantalate; and a bonding layer bonding said supporting substrate and said piezoelectric material substrate and contacting a main surface of said piezoelectric material substrate, wherein said bonding layer comprises a void extending from said piezoelectric material substrate toward said supporting substrate, and wherein said bonded body further comprises an intermediate layer between said bonding layer and said supporting substrate. 12. The bonded body of claim 11 wherein said piezoelectric material substrate has a thickness of 20 μm or smaller.
