1. An acoustic wave device comprising:
a support substrate;
a low-acoustic-velocity film on the support substrate;
a piezoelectric layer on the low-acoustic-velocity film;
an IDT electrode on the piezoelectric layer; and
a high-acoustic-velocity film between the support substrate and the low-acoustic-velocity film; wherein
an acoustic velocity of a bulk wave propagating through the low-acoustic-velocity film is lower than an acoustic velocity of a bulk wave propagating through the piezoelectric layer;
an acoustic velocity of a bulk wave propagating though the high-acoustic-velocity film is higher than an acoustic velocity of an acoustic wave propagating through the piezoelectric layer;
adhesion between the low-acoustic-velocity film and the support substrate is higher than adhesion between the high-acoustic-velocity film and the support substrate; and
the high-acoustic-velocity film is between a portion of the support substrate and a portion of the low-acoustic-velocity film, and a portion of the low-acoustic-velocity film and a portion of the support substrate contact each other.
