ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,341,487, issued on June 24, was assigned to Skyworks Solutions Inc. (Irvine, Calif.).

"Multilayer piezoelectric substrate for acoustic wave device" was invented by Rei Goto (Osaka, Japan), Keiichi Maki (Suita, Japan) and Gong Bin Tang (Moriguchi, Japan).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A surface acoustic wave device has a piezoelectric substrate having a cut angle (e.g., the piezoelectric angle is cut so as to have a crystal orientation) that allows the surface acoustic wave device to operate as a longitudinally leaky surface acoustic wave device that confines the acoustic wave energy within the piezoelectric substrate and that has less pro...
