Acoustic resonator devices and filters are disclosed. An acoustic resonator includes a substrate and a piezoelectric plate supported by the substrate. A portion of the piezoelectric plate suspended across a cavity in the substrate forms a diaphragm. A decoupling dielectric layer is on a front surface of the diaphragm. An interdigital transducer (IDT) has interleaved fingers on the decoupling dielectric layer over the diaphragm. The IDT and piezoelectric plate are configured such that a radio frequency signal applied to the IDT excites shear acoustic waves in the diaphragm.
