A surface acoustic wave resonator structure and a method of forming the resonator structure and a filter are provided. The resonator structure includes: a piezoelectric substrate; an interdigital transducer including a first interdigital electrode structure and a second interdigital electrode structure, wherein the first interdigital electrode structure comprises first interdigital electrodes and a first interdigital electrode lead-out part connected to each other, the second interdigital electrode structure comprises second interdigital electrodes and a second interdigital electrode lead-out part connected to each other, the first interdigital electrodes and the second interdigital electrodes extend along a first direction and are alternately arranged in a second direction; a temperature compensation layer, disposed on a side of the interdigital transducer away from the piezoelectric substrate; and a first protection layer disposed between the interdigital transducer and the temperature compensation layer and configured to protect the interdigital transducer from being oxidized.
