Title:
ELECTRONIC DEVICE, PIEZOELECTRIC DEVICE, LIQUID INJECTION HEAD AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017042952
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic device capable of suppressing breakage at an end of a piezoelectric element in a configuration comprising a lower electrode layer, a piezoelectric layer and an upper electrode layer and having the end of the piezoelectric element defined by an end of the upper electrode layer, and a piezoelectric device, a liquid injection head and a manufacturing method therefor.SOLUTION: A piezoelectric device 14 comprises a piezoelectric element 32 formed with a lower electrode layer 37, a piezoelectric layer 38 and an upper electrode layer 39 in this order. At least one end of the piezoelectric element 32 is defined by an end of the upper electrode layer 39. The piezoelectric layer 38 is extended up to an element outer region 41 closer to an outside than one end of the piezoelectric element 32. The piezoelectric layer 38 in the element outer region 41 is formed thinner than the piezoelectric layer 38 in the piezoelectric element 32. A difference between a thickness of the piezoelectric layer 38 in the element outer region 41 and a thickness of the piezoelectric layer 38 in the piezoelectric element 32 is equal to 50 nm or less.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
