摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric ceramic which is slightly deformed by firing, a manufacturing method therefor, and an electronic component. There is provided a piezoelectric ceramic 1 including a plurality of crystal grains 2 including a lead zirconate titanate-type crystal containing Zn, and Bi, and crystal grain boundaries 3 existing between a plurality of the crystal grains 2, wherein a plurality of the crystal grains 2 include first crystal grains 2a, and wherein the first crystal grains 2a have a content of at least one element of Zn and Bi present in the inside of the first crystal grains 2a that is smaller than the content of the at least one element present in an area including the crystal grain boundaries 3 that are in contact with the crystal grains 2. The piezoelectric ceramic 1 is slightly deformed by firing and is capable of forming an electronic component which has little warp or deformation even if it is thin.

A multi-layer electronic component that can be repetitively operated under high voltage, high temperature and high humidity is provided. The multi-layer electronic component comprises a plurality of dielectric material layers made of a sintered material having perovskite structure that includes Pb; and a plurality of internal electrodes, the dielectric material layers and the internal electrodes being stacked alternately one on another, wherein lead compound that remains in the crystal grain boundaries of the dielectric material layers is controlled so that the number of grains of the lead compound not smaller than 0.01 µm are 2 or less per 100 µm 2 on average.
摘要:
A stacked piezoelectric device 1 including a ceramic laminate formed by laminating piezoelectric ceramic layers and inner electrode layers alternately and a pair of side electrodes. The inner electrode layers 13 and 14 have inner electrode portions 131 and 141 and the recessed portions 132 and 142. The ceramic laminate 15 has the stress absorbing portions 11 and 12. A recessed distance of one of two of the recessed portions 132 and 142 which interleave the stress absorbing portions 11 and 12 therebetween which is located on the same side surface as the stress absorbing portion 11 or 12 is greater than the depth of the stress absorbing portion 11 and 12.
摘要:
A piezoelectric element (10) includes first internal electrodes (12) and second internal electrodes (13, as well as piezoelectric ceramic layers (11) that are made of ceramics and arranged between the first internal electrodes and second internal electrodes. Manganese is present relatively more abundantly in the areas (11b) of the piezoelectric ceramic layers adjacent to the first internal electrodes and second internal electrodes, compared to at the centers of the piezoelectric ceramic layers. Insulation performance of the piezoelectric element is kept from dropping over the course of use.
