- a thin-film piezoelectric element according to the present invention is basically composed of a piezoelectric film made of a polycrystalline body and two electrodes sandwiching the piezoelectric film. Further, the piezoelectric film is a ⁇ system ⁇ 5 ⁇ ⁇ containing at least 5 mol% of ⁇ and its thickness is not more than '5 m, and the variation of the Pb composition in the thickness direction of the piezoelectric film is small. It is less than 5% of soil.
- the piezoelectric element according to the present invention has good tt as a result of controlling the variation of the Pb composition in the thickness direction of the piezoelectric film to ⁇ 5% or less. It is stated that the change of the piezoelectric element can be expressed by the following equation.
- the thin-film piezoelectric element according to the present invention has a relative dielectric constant ⁇ 33 of 1500 JLh, more preferably 2000 JU: in the above formula.
- the pressure d31 shows a value of 160 pCZN3 ⁇ 4 ⁇ , more preferably 18 OpCZN or more.
- the film thickness of the piezoelectric body in the thin-film piezoelectric element according to the present invention is about 1 #m to 5 m.
- the thin-film piezoelectric element according to the present invention is obtained by adding a third component (for example, lead magnesium niobate) to lead zirconate titanate ( ⁇ ), which is a so-called di- ⁇ 3 ⁇ 4 system. It was a thing.
- a third component for example, lead magnesium niobate
- lead zirconate titanate ( ⁇ ) which is a so-called di- ⁇ 3 ⁇ 4 system. It was a thing.
- ⁇ lead magnesium niobate
- ⁇ lead zirconate titanate
- A is a divalent metal selected from the group consisting of Mg, Co, Zn, Cd, Mn, and Ni or Sb, Y, Fe, Sc, Yb, Lu, In, and Cr Represents a trivalent metal selected from the group
- B represents a pentavalent metal selected from the group consisting of Nb, Ta, and Sb or a hexavalent metal selected from the group consisting of W and Te;
- g and h are forces that represent 1/2 However, A represents a trivalent metal and B does not represent a hexavalent metal,
- the third component include lead magnesium niobate (Pb (M)
- the amount of the third component added in the above composition is at least 5 mol%, preferably at least 10 mol%, and more preferably at least 20 mol%.
- 0.10 mol% or less of S The addition power of r and Ba is preferable for improving the piezoelectric characteristics.
- addition of Mn and Ni of 0.10 mol% or less is preferable because the sinterability is improved.
- a thin-film piezoelectric element includes a silicon (si) substrate 101, a simio2, a diffusion prevention film 103, a lower electrode (for example, made of Pt) 104, a piezoelectric film 105, and an upper electrode.
