A surface acoustic wave (SAW) device that is made with diamond, that has high efficiency, and that can be operated at high frequencies, particularly from 9.5 to 10.5 GHz. The SAW device comprises a diamond layer formed singly or formed on a substrate, a ZnO piezoelectric layer, interdigital transducers (IDTs), and a short-circuiting electrode as required. The SAW device has a structure in which the thickness of the ZnO layer, the wavelength of a harmonic of the SAW, and the line width of the IDTs fall in a specified range. With this structure, a large electromechanical coupling coefficient is obtained in a high-frequency range of 10 GHz band by utilizing the third or fifth harmonic of the SAW.
