Abstract:
A mounting for a surface acoustical wave (â€œSAWâ€ ) device comprising:a SAW device including a first surface having an active region, a first conductive pad, and a second conductive pad, wherein said first and second conductive pads are located on said first surface and on opposite ends of said active region; a substrate including a continuous first surface, said first surface having conductive contacts thereon; a first conductive connection between said first conductive pad and a corresponding contact on said first surface of said substrate; a second conductive connection between said second conductive pad and a corresponding contact on said first surface of said substrate; and a first encapsulant contacting and circumscribing a periphery of said SAW device, wherein said first encapsulant, said first surface of said SAW device, and said continuous first surface of said substrate define a free space, and said first encapsulant extends inwards along said first surface of said SAW device from the periphery of said SAW device towards said active region but does not contact said active region or said first and second conductive connections.
