Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-frequency thin-film piezoelectric element which has a large electromechanical coupling coefficient and also has broad bandwidth and a wide resonator frequency range, when applied to a resonator, etc., by equipping the element with a PZT thin film, which is formed on a substrate electrode layer on an oxide film of an Si substrate and an upper electrode layer which is formed on the PZT thin film. SOLUTION: As the substrate, an Si substrate of approximately 100 to 300μm in thickness is used which has an oxide film of preferably 0.5 to 2μm in thickness on the surface. On the surface of this Si substrate, a Ti layer of, for example, 50 to 500Å in thickness and a Pt substrate electrode layer of 1000 to 2000Å in thickness are formed successively by a sputtering method. On this Pt substrate electrode layer, a PbTiO3 thin film of about 0.01 to 0.1μm in thickness is formed by a sol-gel method and on this PbTiO3 thin film, a PZT thin film of 0.3 to 5μm thickness is formed by a sol-gel method. Further, a Pt upper electrode layer is formed on the PZT thin film by a sputtering method. A DC electric field of, for example, 200 to 500kV/cm is applied between the Pt substrate electrode layer and Pt upper electrode layer to perform a polarizing treatment.
