Surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) devices have been widely investigated over many years as demand has grown for information sensing above 1000°C. At such high temperatures, metal electrode creep occurs, thereby causing the transformation of an electrode from a continuous uniform film to a discontinuous film with hollows or isolated grains. In this study, 100 nm thick ITO conductive oxide film is deposited on 100 nm thick Pt film to form an ITO/Pt bilayer-film composite electrode for high-temperature SAW devices. According to this way, the conductive stability of the Pt film electrode at high temperature can be greatly improved. Compared with the initial value, the electrical conductivity of single-layer 100 nm thick Pt film decreases to 65.4% with the area fraction of Pt at 64.1%. Meanwhile, the electrical conductivity of ITO/Pt bilayer-film decreases to only 95% with the area fraction of Pt at 63.1%. Then, the enhancement of high-temperature conductive stability can be attributed to the added ITO conduction channels. These findings demonstrate a potential route to design multilayer electrodes that can operate above 1000°C with promising applications in SAW devices needing to operate at high temperatures.
