Abstract

We have formed epitaxial LiNbO3 thin films on sapphire substrates (001),(110) and (012) using an excmer-laser ablation technique. We have fabricated surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters on the films and evaluated SAW properties. It is demonstrated that the LINbO3 thin films on the sapphire substrates are candidates for a high frequency SAW filter because of their high velocities of propagation (5300–5600m/s).
