[0011] Further, the laminated structure of the present invention is a laminated structure including at least a piezoelectric film and a metal film containing a metal as a main component, and is characterized in that the metal is a metal that undergoes a martensitic transformation by heat treatment or processing. Note that the "main component" may be any ratio as long as the atomic ratio of the metal in the metal film is 0.5 or more. In the present invention, it is preferable that the atomic ratio of the metal to all metal elements in the metal film is 0.7 or more, and more preferably 0.8 or more.

[0012] The metal is not particularly limited as long as it is a metal that undergoes a martensitic transformation by heat treatment or processing, and may be a known metal.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the metal contains Fe, Cr or Ni, more preferably contains Fe and Cr, and most preferably is stainless steel. According to such a preferable range, the bending strength can be made more excellent.

[0013] In the present invention, it is preferable that the piezoelectric film and the metal film are oriented in substantially the same crystal axis direction, and it is more preferable that the piezoelectric film and the metal film are oriented in the (100) direction. The above "orientation in the (100) direction" means that the crystal orientation angle detected by X-ray diffraction is oriented in the (100) direction, and more specifically, it is sufficient that the peak ratio in the (100) direction is 50% or more of the total peaks of the metal film detected by X-ray diffraction, and preferably the peak ratio is 90% or more.

[0014] In the present invention, the thickness of the metal film is preferably 100 μm or less, and more preferably 1 μm to 10 μm. Within this preferred range, it becomes a superior interlayer for crystal growth of functional films.

[0015] The laminated structure can be easily obtained by laminating a compound film containing Hf as a first interlayer on a crystalline substrate, then laminating a metal film containing Fe as a second interlayer, and then laminating a piezoelectric film (hereinafter also referred to as the "piezoelectric layer") directly or via another layer. In the present invention, it is preferable to include a step of peeling the crystalline substrate from the piezoelectric film after laminating the piezoelectric film. The peeling means only needs to be able to peel the crystalline substrate from the piezoelectric film, and known peeling means may be used. The peeling means may be a means for removing the crystalline substrate, and known removal means such as dry etching and wet etching can also be used for peeling as long as they do not hinder the objective of the present invention. In the present invention, it is preferable to peel the crystalline substrate by wet etching. Furthermore, in the present invention, it is preferable to include a step of peeling the first interlayer from the piezoelectric film after peeling the crystal substrate from the piezoelectric film, and it is also preferable to include a step of peeling the second interlayer from the piezoelectric film after peeling the first interlayer from the piezoelectric film. By doing so, the self-supporting film can be easily obtained.

[0016] The crystalline substrate (hereinafter also simply referred to as "substrate") is not particularly limited as long as it does not hinder the objectives of the present invention, and may be a known crystalline substrate. It may be an organic compound or an inorganic compound. In the present invention, it is preferable that the crystalline substrate contains an inorganic compound. In the present invention, it is preferable that the substrate has crystals on part or all of its surface, more preferably that it is a crystalline substrate having crystals on all or part of the main surface on the crystal growth side, and most preferably that it is a crystalline substrate having crystals on all of the main surface on the crystal growth side. The crystal is not particularly limited as long as it does not hinder the objectives of the present invention, and the crystal structure is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that it is a cubic, tetragonal, trigonal, hexagonal, orthorhombic, or monoclinic crystal, and more preferably that it is a crystal oriented to (100) or (200). The crystalline substrate may also have an off-angle, and examples of the off-angle include an off-angle of 0.2° to 12.0°. Here, "off-angle" refers to the angle between the substrate surface and the crystal growth surface. The substrate shape is not particularly limited as long as it is plate-shaped and serves as a support for the epitaxial film. It may be an insulating substrate or a semiconductor substrate, but in the present invention, the substrate is preferably a Si substrate, more preferably a crystalline Si substrate, and most preferably a crystalline Si substrate oriented to (100). Examples of the substrate material include, in addition to a Si substrate, one or more metals belonging to groups 3 to 15 of the periodic table or oxides of these metals. The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited and may be substantially circular (e.g., round, elliptical, etc.) or polygonal (e.g., triangular, square, rectangular, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, etc.), and various shapes can be suitably used. Furthermore, in the present invention, a large-area substrate can be used, and by using such a large-area substrate, the area of ​​the epitaxial film can be increased.

[0017] Furthermore, in the present invention, it is preferable that the crystal substrate has a flat surface, but it is also preferable that the crystal substrate has an uneven shape on part or all of its surface, as this can improve the quality of crystal growth of the epitaxial film. The crystal substrate having the uneven shape only needs to have an uneven portion consisting of recesses or protrusions on part or all of its surface, and the uneven portion is not particularly limited as long as it consists of protrusions or recesses, and may be an uneven portion consisting of protrusions, an uneven portion consisting of recesses, or an uneven portion consisting of both protrusions and recesses. In addition, the uneven portion may be formed from regular protrusions or recesses, or from irregular protrusions or recesses. In the present invention, it is preferable that the uneven portion is formed periodically, and more preferably that it is patterned periodically and regularly. The shape of the uneven portion is not particularly limited, and examples include stripe-like, dot-like, mesh-like, or random-like, but in the present invention, dot-like or stripe-like is preferred, and dot-like is more preferred. Furthermore, if the uneven surfaces are patterned periodically and regularly, it is preferable that the pattern shape of the uneven surfaces be a polygonal shape such as a triangle, quadrilateral (e.g., square, rectangle, or trapezoid), pentagon or hexagon, circular, or elliptical. When the uneven surfaces are formed in a dot shape, it is preferable that the lattice shape of the dots be a grid shape such as a square grid, rhombic grid, triangular grid, or hexagonal grid, and more preferably a triangular grid. The cross-sectional shape of the recesses or protrusions of the uneven surfaces is not particularly limited, but examples include a U-shape, inverted U-shape, wave shape, or a polygonal shape such as a triangle, quadrilateral (e.g., square, rectangle, or trapezoid), pentagon or hexagon. The thickness of the crystal substrate is not particularly limited, but is preferably 50 to 2000 μm, and more preferably 100 to 1000 μm.

[0018] The piezoelectric layer is not particularly limited as long as it is a piezoelectric layer made of a piezoelectric material. The piezoelectric material may be a known piezoelectric material, but in the present invention, it is preferable that the piezoelectric material contains Pb and Ti. The semiconductor layer is not particularly limited as long as it is a semiconductor layer made of a semiconductor material. The semiconductor may be a known semiconductor, but in the present invention, it is preferable that the semiconductor contains Si, SiC, GaN, or Ga2O3. In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged depending on the case or situation.

[0019] Furthermore, in the present invention, it is preferable to laminate a first interlayer on a crystal substrate, then laminate a second interlayer, and then laminate the piezoelectric layer or the semiconductor layer either directly or via another layer. Examples of the other layer include a metal film, a conductive oxide film, or a conductive nitride film. In the present invention, it is preferable that the conductive oxide film contains Sr and / or Ru, and that the conductive nitride film contains Hf. The metal film in the other layer is preferably made of a metal different from the metal, and examples include gold, silver, platinum, palladium, silver-palladium, copper, nickel, or alloys thereof. The aforementioned lamination methods can all be used to laminate using known film-forming methods. In the present invention, it is preferable that the film-forming method is vapor deposition (including MBE) or sputtering. The thickness of each layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 nm to 100 μm, and more preferably 50 nm to 30 μm.

[0020] The self-supporting film or laminated structure obtained as described above can be suitably used as a piezoelectric element or semiconductor element using known means. Furthermore, the element can be suitably used in electronic devices according to conventional methods. For example, the laminated structure can be used as a piezoelectric element, connected to a power supply or electrical / electronic circuit, mounted on a circuit board, or packaged to constitute various electronic devices. In the present invention, it is preferable that the electronic device is a piezoelectric device, and can be used as a piezoelectric device in electronic devices such as inkjet printer heads, microactuators, gyroscopes, and motion sensors. Also, for example, by connecting an amplifier and a rectifier circuit and packaging them, they can be used in various sensors such as magnetic sensors. Furthermore, it can be applied to constant voltage driven memory, and for example, by connecting an energy storage element and a rectifier power management circuit, it becomes an energy conversion device (energy harvester) that generates power from an external magnetic field or vibration. The energy conversion device can be incorporated and used in power supply systems and wearable terminals (earphones / hearable devices, smartwatches, smart glasses, smart contact lenses, cochlear implants, cardiac pacemakers, etc.). In the present invention, it is preferable to use the laminated structure in applications such as smart glasses, AR headsets, MEMS mirrors for LiDAR systems, piezoelectric MEMS ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) for advanced medical applications, and piezo heads for commercial and industrial 3D printers.

[0021] The aforementioned electronic device is suitably used in electronic devices in accordance with conventional methods. Besides the electronic devices described above, the device can be applied to a variety of other electronic devices. More specifically, suitable examples include liquid dispensing heads, liquid dispensing devices, vibration wave motors, optical instruments, vibration devices, imaging devices, piezoelectric acoustic components, and audio playback devices, audio recording devices, mobile phones, and various information terminals.

[0022] Furthermore, the aforementioned electronic devices can also be applied to systems in accordance with conventional laws, and such systems include, for example, sensor systems. [Examples]

[0023] (Example 1) The crystal growth surface of a Si substrate (100) was treated with RIE, and an HfZrN single crystal was formed on the Si substrate by vapor deposition in the presence of nitrogen, causing a thermal reaction between the metal of the deposition source and the nitrogen. The conditions for the vapor deposition method during this film formation were as follows. Vapor deposition source: Hf, Zr Voltage: 3.5~4.75V Pressure: 3 × 10 -2 ~6×10 -2 Pa Substrate temperature: 450~700℃

[0024] Figure 8 shows the deposition apparatus used for depositing HfZrN single crystals. The deposition apparatus in Figure 8 is equipped with at least a crucible containing metal sources 1101a to 1101b, grounds 1102a to 1102h, ICP electrodes 1103a to 1103b, cut filters 1104a to 1104b, DC power supplies 1105a to 1105b, RF power supplies 1106a to 1106b, lamps 1107a to 1107b, Ar source 1108, reactive gas source 1109, power supply 1110, substrate holder 1111, substrate 1112, cut filter 1113, ICP ring 1114, vacuum chamber 1115, and rotating shaft 1116. Note that the ICP electrodes 1103a to 1103b in Figure 8 have a substantially concave or parabolic shape that curves toward the center of the substrate 1112.

[0025] As shown in Figure 8, the substrate 1112 is secured on the substrate holder 1111. Then, the rotating shaft 1116 is rotated using the power supply 1110 and a rotating mechanism (not shown) to rotate the substrate 1112. The substrate 112 is also heated by lamps 1107a to 1107b, and the inside of the vacuum chamber 1115 is evacuated to create a vacuum or reduced pressure using a vacuum pump (not shown). After that, Ar gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber 1115 from the Ar source 1108, and the surface of the substrate 1112 is cleaned by forming argon plasma on the substrate 1112 using DC power supplies 1105a to 1105b, RF power supplies 1106a to 1106b, ICP electrodes 1103a to 1103b, cut filters 1104a to 1104b, and grounds 1102a to 1102h.

[0026] Ar gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber 1115, and a reactive gas is introduced using the reactive gas source 1109. At this time, the lamp heaters, lamps 1107a to 1107b, are alternately turned on and off, which allows for the formation of a higher quality crystal growth film.

[0027] Next, a SUS304 single crystal film was deposited in the same manner as described above, except that Fe, Cr, and Ni were used as the metals for the deposition source.

[0028] Next, a platinum (Pt) metal film was formed as a conductive film on a single crystal film of crystalline metal oxide by sputtering. The conditions used for this process are shown below. Equipment: ULVAC QAM-4 sputtering system Pressure: 1.20 × 10 -1 Pa Target: Pt Power: 100W(DC) Thickness: 100nm Substrate temperature: 450~600℃

[0029] Next, an SRO film was formed on the conductive film by sputtering. The conditions used for this process are shown below. Equipment: ULVAC QAM-4 sputtering system Power: 150W (RF) Gas: Ar Pressure: 1.8 Pa Substrate temperature: 600℃ Thickness: 20nm

[0030] Next, a PbTiO3 film was deposited on the SRO film as a piezoelectric film. The resulting laminated structure exhibited good adhesion and crystallinity. Furthermore, the crystal structure of the crystalline substrate, the single-crystal film of the crystalline metal oxide, and the conductive film of the laminated structure was measured using an X-ray diffractometer. Figure 2 shows the XRD measurement results. As is clear from Figure 2, a SUS304 single-crystal film with good crystallinity was formed, and the crystallinity of the PbTiO3 film and other components was also good.

[0031] After depositing a PbTiO3 film, the Si substrate was removed by wet etching using sodium hydroxide, thus exfoliating the Si substrate from the PbTiO3 film. Furthermore, the HfZrN film, Pt film, and SRO film were removed by wet etching using HF, respectively, and exfoliated from the PbTiO3 film. The resulting self-supporting films were single-crystal films and possessed flexibility.

[0032] (Example test) As a test example, cantilever beams of micro-elements as shown in Figures 3 and 4 were fabricated using FIB FB2100 (Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation), and their fracture strength characteristics were evaluated using the Nanoindenter NanoTest Xtreme (Micro Materials Corporation), resulting in the findings shown in Figure 5. From Figure 5, the fracture strength of Si was approximately 1 GPa, showing a nearly constant value. Considering that the bending strength of Si single-crystal bulk material is approximately 300 MPa (according to a paper), it was found that micromaterials possess significant strength. Furthermore, in the case of SUS304 single-crystal thin films, the fracture strength was approximately 5 GPa, which is about five times the bending strength of Si single crystals. This suggests that using SUS304 single-crystal thin films as beams (movable parts, equivalent to the active layer of an SOI substrate) in MEMS devices can be expected to significantly improve not only the displacement of MEMS devices but also their lifespan characteristics.

[0033] (Examples of application) Examples of applications of the obtained laminated structure will be described in more detail below with reference to the figures, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. In addition, unless otherwise specified, piezoelectric devices and the like can be manufactured from the laminated structure using known means.

[0034] Figure 6 shows an embodiment of an acoustic MEMS transducer constituting a MEMS microphone in which the laminated structure is suitably used in the present invention. The MEMS transducer can constitute an acoustic emission device (for example, a speaker).

[0035] The MEMS microphone configured in the acoustic MEMS transducer shown in Figure 6 is a cantilever-type MEMS microphone and comprises a Si substrate 21 having two cantilever beams 28A and 28B and a cavity 30. Each cantilever beam 28A and 28B is fixed to the substrate 21 at its respective end, and a gap 9 is provided between the cantilever beams 8A and 8B. The cantilever beams 8A and 8B are formed by a laminated structure including, for example, multiple piezoelectric layers (PZT films) 26a and 26b, and are arranged alternately with multiple electrode layers, namely Pt films 24a, 24b, and 24c and SRO films 25a, 25b, 25c, and 25d. The Pt film 24a is provided on a SUS film 23, and an HfZrN film 23 is provided on the SUS film 23. Compared to using SiO2 or SiN, using the HfZrN film 23 results in superior adhesion and crystallinity to the Si substrate, further improving crystallinity up to multiple layers, and also providing superior piezoelectric properties and durability.

[0036] Figure 7 shows an example of an application of the laminated structure in the present invention to a fluid discharge device that can be suitably used in printing applications, particularly in the form of an inkjet print head. Specifically, it shows a cross-sectional view of a part of a wafer equipped with a piezoelectric actuator that includes Pt films 34a, 34b and SRO films 35a, 35b as electrode layers and a PZT film 36 as a piezoelectric film. In addition to the piezoelectric actuator, the wafer in Figure 7 is equipped with a chamber 41 for containing fluid. The chamber 41 is configured to take in fluid from a tank (not shown) via a flow path 40. The wafer in Figure 10 includes a Si substrate 31, on which HfZrN films 32 and SUS films 33 are laminated and face the chamber 41. In Figure 10, by using HfZrN films 32, adhesion to the Si substrate and crystallinity are better than when using SiO2 or SiN, and the crystallinity is further improved up to multiple layers, and furthermore, piezoelectric properties and durability are also better. The HfZrN film 32 has a rectangular shape, for example, in the top view (not shown), and this shape may be any of the following: a square, a rectangle, a rectangle with rounded corners, a parallelogram, etc.

[0037] On the SUS film 33, a Pt film 34a, an SRO film 35a, a piezoelectric film (PZT film) 36, an SRO film 35b, and a Pt film 34b are sequentially laminated to constitute a piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator further comprises electrodes 34a and 35a, a piezoelectric film 36, and an insulating film 37 extending over electrodes 34b and 35b. The insulating film 37 contains a dielectric material used for electrical insulation, which may be a known dielectric material, such as an SiO2 layer, a SiN layer, or an Al2O3 layer. The thickness of the insulating layer containing the insulating film as a constituent material is not particularly limited, but is preferably between approximately 10 nm and approximately 10 μm. The conductive path 39 is provided on the insulating layer (insulating film) 37 and contacts electrodes 34a and 35a and electrodes 34b and 35b, respectively, allowing selective access during use. The conductive path is composed of any known conductive material, and suitable examples of such conductive materials include aluminum (Al). The passivation layer 42 is provided on the insulating layer 37, electrodes 34b and 35b, and the conductive path 39. The passivation layer 42 is composed of a dielectric material used for passivation of the piezoelectric actuator, and such dielectric material is not particularly limited and may be any known dielectric material. Suitable examples of the dielectric material include SiN or SION (silicon oxynitrate). The thickness of the passivation layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably between approximately 0.1 μm and approximately 3 μm. Similarly, the conductive pad 38 is provided along the piezoelectric actuator and is electrically connected to the conductive path 39. The passivation layer 42 functions as a barrier layer to protect the piezoelectric body from humidity and other elements. [Industrial applicability]
