摘要:
Disclosed is a method of producing a piezoelectric actuator including a first electrode film forming process; a monomolecular film forming process; a pattering process of removing a monomolecular film having a rectangular shape; an application process of applying a precursor solution to the first electrode film exposed in the rectangular shape; a piezoelectric film forming process of converting the applied precursor solution into a piezoelectric film; and a second electrode film forming process. Materials of the precursor solution, the first electrode film, and the monomolecular film are adjusted so that the first electrode film is lyophilic and the monomolecular film is lyophobic to the precursor solution. The piezoelectric film forming process includes a drying and thermally decomposing process of drying and thermally decomposing the precursor solution; and a crystallizing process of crystallizing a thermally decomposed piezoelectric material.

Disclosed is an electromechanical transducer film forming method including a surface modification process; an application process; and processes of drying, thermally decomposing, and crystallizing sol-gel solution applied to a portion of a surface of a first electrode. An electromechanical transducer film is formed on a desired pattern area on the surface of the first electrode by repeating the above processes. In the application process, each of dots of the sol-gel solution applied by the inkjet method drops onto both a first area inside the desired pattern area and a second area outside the desired pattern area. The first area is a hydrophilic area on the surface of the first electrode, and the second area is a hydrophobic area on the surface of the first electrode. The hydrophilic area and the hydrophobic area have been modified by the surface modification process.

A method of fabricating an electromechanical transducer film includes applying a precursor solution on a support substrate, heating the substrate at a first temperature to form a ceramic thin-film in amorphous state, applying a sol-gel solution onto the ceramic thin-film, and heating the ceramic thin-film at a second temperature to form an electromechanical transducer thin-film in amorphous state. The method further includes heating the ceramic and transducer thin-films at a third temperature to thermally decompose an organic substance in the sol-gel solution and form a unitary thin-film, processing the unitary thin-film to form a patterned unitary thin-film, modifying an area on which the patterned film is not formed, discharging the sol-gel solution onto a surface of the patterned film by a liquid discharge head to apply the sol-gel solution to the surface of the patterned film, and heating the patterned film at a fourth temperature to crystallize the patterned film.
