In order to reduce the sensibility of SAW components to surface contamination and avoid short cuts between electrodes, anodic oxidation is employed to passivate the electrode with a thin dielectric layer. This layer covers the electrodes, but not the regions between electrodes. Since for these structures, only part of the electrode/substrate interface carries charge, the efficient standard ab inito...
