Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a piezoelectric element and a method for manufacturing a piezoelectric device.
- a piezoelectric element having a piezoelectric layer has high piezoelectricity, so it is widely used in piezoelectric devices such as sensors such as pressure sensors and acceleration sensors, high-frequency filter devices, and piezoelectric actuators.
- a piezoelectric element is generally constructed by laminating a piezoelectric layer on a base material.
- the piezoelectric layer When the piezoelectric layer is formed by growing crystals on the conductive film on the substrate, the piezoelectric layer has high piezoelectric characteristics by orienting the crystals of the piezoelectric layer in the c-axis direction and having high crystal orientation. .
- a piezoelectric element having a piezoelectric layer having such high piezoelectric properties can have good piezoelectric properties.
- Various methods have been proposed for manufacturing a piezoelectric element by highly aligning a piezoelectric layer.
- a piezoelectric layer having a wurtzite crystal structure is formed on a first electrode made of an amorphous oxide conductor layer formed on a substrate.
- a method of manufacturing a piezoelectric device in which a second electrode is formed on a piezoelectric layer is disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- the piezoelectric layer is sputtered on the first electrode while the first electrode is conveyed by drum rolls in a roll-to-roll (R to R) method.
- R to R roll-to-roll
- a piezoelectric element having a piezoelectric layer operates on the principle of vibration in the thickness direction of the piezoelectric layer (thickness vibration). It is important that they have a high degree of crystallographic orientation in the same direction.
- An object of one aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a piezoelectric element that can manufacture a piezoelectric layer with high crystal orientation even when the RtoR method is used.

- Example 4-6 In Example 1, the first electrode was not formed, the ratio of the O 2 gas flow rate during the formation of the angle adjustment layer was changed to the value shown in Table 1, and the thickness of the angle adjustment layer was changed to 85 nm. A piezoelectric element was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1 except for the above.
- Example 1 A piezoelectric element was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the ratio of the O 2 gas flow rate in the angle adjusting layer was changed to 1.0%.
- Example 2 A piezoelectric film was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the ratio of the O 2 gas flow rate was set to 0.5% for the first electrode and the angle adjustment layer was not formed.
- Example 3 In Example 1, the first electrode was not formed, the ratio of the O 2 gas flow rate of the angle adjustment layer was changed to 5.0%, and the thickness of the angle adjustment layer was changed to 85 nm. A piezoelectric element was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1.
- the crystal axis strain and half width of the piezoelectric layer of the obtained piezoelectric element were measured and evaluated.
- the crystal axis strain and half-value width of the piezoelectric layer were measured by X-ray rocking curve measurement under the following measurement conditions using an X-ray diffractometer (SmartLab Studio II manufactured by Rigaku Corporation). After that, the angle and full width at half maximum (FWHM) at which the X-ray diffraction intensity was the highest were determined as the axial strain and the half width. Table 1 shows the measurement results.
- the d33 value was measured as a piezoelectric characteristic of the obtained piezoelectric element of each example and comparative example.
- the d33 value was evaluated by the following procedure. A piezoelectric element was placed on the stage, and the stage was electrically connected to the angle adjustment layer or the laminate in which the first electrode and the angle adjustment layer were laminated. An indenter is placed on the upper surface of the sample, and a predetermined pressure is applied from the upper surface of the sample with the indenter to cause lattice strain in the piezoelectric layer. Charge was measured. The d33 value was obtained by dividing the amount of charge generated when the applied load was changed from 1N to 5N by the load difference of 4N.
- the d33 value is a value representing the expansion/contraction mode of the piezoelectric element in the thickness direction, and is the polarization charge amount [C/N] per unit pressure applied in the thickness direction.
- the higher the d33 value the better the polarization in the thickness direction (c-axis direction) of the piezoelectric layer, and the higher the piezoelectric characteristics of the piezoelectric element.
- Table 1 shows the measurement results of the d 33 value of the piezoelectric element in each example and comparative example.
- the film was formed so that the ratio of the flow rate of oxygen during the film formation of the first electrode or the angle adjustment tank exceeded 1.0%. Since the axial strain and half width of the piezoelectric layer can be reduced and the d33 value of the obtained piezoelectric element can be increased, it can be said that the piezoelectric element can exhibit excellent piezoelectric characteristics.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un élément piézoélectrique comprenant : une étape de formation de couche de réglage d'angle pour former une couche de réglage d'angle contenant un oxyde amorphe sur un côté de surface principale d'un matériau de base flexible par pulvérisation d'un matériau amorphe contenant du Zn dans une atmosphère de gaz mixte qui contient un gaz inerte et de l'oxygène ; et une étape de formation de couche piézoélectrique pour former une couche piézoélectrique sur la couche de réglage d'angle à l'aide d'un procédé de rouleau à rouleau. L'étape de formation de couche de réglage d'angle est telle que le rapport du débit de l'oxygène au débit total du gaz inerte et de l'oxygène dépasse 1 %.
