A solid mount bulk acoustic wave resonator, comprises a first electrode; a second electrode; a piezoelectric layer disposed between the first and second electrodes; and an acoustic reflector comprising a plurality of layers and disposed beneath the first electrode, the second electrode and the piezoelectric layer. An overlap of the acoustic reflector, the first electrode, the second electrode and the piezoelectric layer defines an active area of the acoustic resonator, and the piezoelectric layer extends over an edge of the first electrode. The acoustic resonator also comprises a bridge adjacent to a termination of the active area of the acoustic resonator. The bridge overlaps a portion of the first electrode.
