Title:
PIEZOELECTRIC/ELECTROSTRICTIVE FILM TYPE ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING PIEZOELECTRIC/ELECTROSTRICTIVE FILM TYPE ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/146974
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a piezoelectric/electrostrictive film type element in which the film thickness of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive film is thin, the piezoelectric/electrostrictive film is dense, and the piezoelectric/electrostrictive film has good durability and insulation properties. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive film type element comprises a substrate, a lower electrode film, the piezoelectric/electrostrictive film, and an upper electrode film. The substrate and the lower electrode film are fixed. The film thickness of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive film is no more than 5 µm. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive film comprises a piezoelectric/electrostrictive ceramic. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive ceramic includes lead zirconate titanate and a bismuth compound. The bismuth/lead ratio in the peripheral section inside the crystal grains and relatively close to the crystal grain boundary is greater than the bismuth/lead ratio in the center section of the crystal grains which is relatively far from the crystal grain boundary.
