Acoustic wave characteristics are numerically investigated and compared in AlN/ZnO/diamond and Al <sub xmlns:mml=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathMLā€ xmlns:xlink=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1999/xlinkā€&gt;2&lt;/sub> O <sub xmlns:mml=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathMLā€ xmlns:xlink=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1999/xlinkā€&gt;3&lt;/sub> /GaN/sapphire with Pt electrodes. These structures have been previously reported as candidates for application in packageless sensors. They include a low-velocity guiding piezoelectric layer sandwiched between two high-velocity materials. The anisotropy of the combined materials, their symmetry and the ratio between bulk acoustic wave velocities in the sagittal plane are compared to find the selection criterion for optimal combination of materials enabling high coupling of the useful mode and suppression of parasitic modes. Acoustic fields have been visualized for the reported structures and for Si <sub xmlns:mml=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathMLā€ xmlns:xlink=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1999/xlinkā€&gt;3&lt;/sub> N <sub xmlns:mml=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathMLā€ xmlns:xlink=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1999/xlinkā€&gt;4&lt;/sub> /GaN/sapphire, an alternative structure suggested to be used in packageless sensors, to understand the correlation between the acoustic fields and the wave characteristics.
