- the coercive electric field Ec2 is large when a positive electric field is applied, so that it is difficult to be polarized, and when a negative electric field is applied, the absolute value of the coercive electric field Ec1 Because the value is small, it is easily polarized.
- a large piezoelectric performance can be obtained by driving by applying an electric field having a polarity with a smaller absolute value of the coercive electric field value (in the case of FIG. 2, driving by a negative electric field).
- the piezoelectric device 10 using a piezoelectric material having a biased PE hysteresis characteristic as shown in FIG. 2 operates the piezoelectric element within a range of a value smaller than the coercive electric field (Ec1) having a smaller absolute value.
- bias rate of Pr-E hysteresis is defined by the following [Formula 1]

- the driving voltage is in the opposite direction to that when the Pr-E hysteresis characteristic is biased toward the negative field.
- the bias rate of the Pr-E hysteresis has a correlation with the Nb doping amount (that is, the doping amount of the “X” element in the general formula (P-1)) in the piezoelectric film.
- the bias rate increases as the doping amount of elements such as Nb and Bi increases. Also, the bias rate tends to increase as the amount of “Pb” in the general formula (P-1) increases.

- the upper limit of the Nb amount in the piezoelectric material is determined from the viewpoint of whether or not a piezoelectric film suitable for practical use can be formed. In general, increasing the doping amount of Nb improves the piezoelectric performance, but if the doping amount of Nb increases excessively, cracks tend to occur due to stress. Since cracks are unlikely to occur if the film thickness is small, the doping amount of Nb is determined depending on the film thickness of the piezoelectric film actually used.

- the vibrating portion 2 By applying an AC voltage to the two drive electrodes 6 of each vibration part 2, it can be bent at a natural frequency. By devising such as shifting the phase of voltage application to the two drive electrodes 6 in one vibrating portion 2 by 180 degrees, the vibrating portion 2 can be excited in the left-right direction on the paper surface of FIG.
- the two vibrating parts 2 are not vibrated in a substantially parallel state, but are vibrated so as to be closed or opened.
- the vibration unit 2 is distorted by the Coriolis force, thereby causing a potential to be applied to the detection electrode 7. Occurs.
- the angular velocity can be detected by amplifying and processing this signal by an external circuit.
- the points indicated by black squares in FIG. 5 indicate the plot points of the polarization degree after normalization. From the result of the preliminary experiment 1, it is confirmed that the piezoelectric film of the present example is almost polarized (in the initial state, the polarization is substantially uniform) in a state where the polarization treatment is not performed (in the state of the unpolarization treatment). all right. That is, by using such a piezoelectric material, a polarization process (initial polarization process for obtaining piezoelectric performance) that has been conventionally required becomes unnecessary.
- the degree of polarization changes abruptly in the vicinity of the electric field of ⁇ 10 kV / cm indicated by the broken line in the figure, and when an electric field having an electric field strength of 10 kV / cm or more is applied, the degree of polarization becomes 0.1.
- Exceeds 8 the polarization state recovers 80% or more). In other words, it was found that the polarization state could not be sufficiently recovered by applying an electric field with an electric field intensity of less than 10 kV / cm, and that an electric field with an electric field intensity of 10 kV / cm or higher would not recover the polarization of 80% or higher. .
- This value of 10 kV / cm is sufficiently lower than the electric field strength required for the polarization treatment of the conventional piezoelectric material (intrinsic PZT).
- the duration of the polarization process is 1 minute, but in practice it is sufficient if the voltage application duration in the polarization process is about 1 second.
- the piezoelectric film used in the present embodiment is in a state of polarization in the initial state (in an unpolarized state as it is formed), and the required piezoelectric film can be obtained without performing the conventional polarization process. Performance is realized.
- depolarization due to various factors in the process of processing the piezoelectric film. For example, when an electrostatic chuck that adsorbs a wafer is used, a large electric field is applied to the film surface, which may cause reverse polarization. Alternatively, exposure to the plasma may cause a potential to be applied to the film surface and reverse polarization depending on conditions. Further, there is at least a risk of depolarization in a state where the device is exposed to a high temperature in a reflow process after being formed into a device.

- step S220 in FIG. 7 and step S215 in FIG. 8 has been performed before it becomes the final product (electronic device).
- the driving ASIC is low for use in mobile devices such as a mobile phone because of power consumption.
- the output voltage of the ASIC varies depending on the specifications of each company, for example, a voltage of 5 V or less is generally used for mobile device applications. For this reason, in order to apply a voltage of 5 V or more in the device, a special device such as a charge pump is required, which causes an increase in cost. Further, the ASIC for outputting a high voltage is problematic because the size is increased.
