Problems solved by technology

However, in the case where the piezoelectric film has a perovskite structure, d tends to decrease as the thickness of the piezoelectric film decreases
Therefore, piezoelectric thin films with a perovskite structure are not suitable for microfabrication

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a piezoelectric film element. Background technique [0002] In recent years, MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) has attracted much attention. MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) is a device that integrates mechanical components and electronic circuits on a substrate through microfabrication technology. In MEMS with functions such as sensors, filters, collectors, or actuators, piezoelectric thin films are utilized. In the manufacture of MEMS using a piezoelectric thin film, a lower electrode layer, a piezoelectric thin film, and an upper electrode layer are stacked on a substrate such as silicon or sapphire. MEMS with arbitrary characteristics can be obtained through subsequent post-processes such as microfabrication, patterning, or etching. By selecting a piezoelectric thin film with excellent piezoelectricity, it is possible to improve the characteristics and miniaturization of piezoelectric thin film elements such ...
