Abstract This paper describes a general finite element method (FEM) for the AC steady state analysis of two‐dimensional piezoelectric devices. The method is applied to a diamond based surface acoustic wave (SAW) layered structure. We determined the penetration depth of the elastic waves corresponding to ZnO layer of 1 µm thick and spatial periodicity of 4 µm. The structure admittance response shows six peaks corresponding to the mode 0, 1 and 2. The penetration depth in diamond is around 8 µm except for the mode 2 where it reaches 12 µm.
