Piezoelectric Aluminum Nitride (AlN) thin film is deposited on top of the Inter Digital Transducer (IDT) by a non conformal physical vapor deposition process. Non-planarity around the transducer impedes the wave propagation, this effect is investigated using SAW delay lines. {\^A}{\copyright} 2015 IEEE.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84962027616&doi=10.1109\%2fULTSYM.2015.0362&partnerID=40&md5=83a99f813178e28a58277d041eee5a12}, keywords = {Acoustic surface wave devices; Acoustic waves; Acoustics; Aluminum; Aluminum coatings; Aluminum nitride; Deposition; Nitrides; Physical vapor deposition; Piezoelectricity; Thin film devices; Thin films; Transducers; Ultrasonic transducers; Vapor deposition, Aluminum nitride (AlN); Coupling coefficient; Interdigital transducer; Physical vapor deposition process; Piezoelectric thin film devices; SAW delay line; Surface acoustic wave propagation; Thin film surfaces, Acoustic wave propagation}, isbn = {9781479981823}, author = {Pandian, M.
