To manufacture a compact and high-performance thin-film piezoelectric bimorph element at low cost, first and second piezoelectric thin films (2, 3) are formed by sputtering on the both surfaces of a metal thin plate (1) which are opposing relation to each other along the thickness thereof, while the respective states of polarizations of the first and second piezoelectric thin films (2, 3) are controlled. A pair of electrode films (5) are formed on the respective surfaces of the first and second piezoelectric thin films (2, 3) opposite to the metal thin plate (1).

An acceleration sensor 201 comprises a longitudinal effect type detection unit 203 and a lateral effect type detection unit 204. The longitudinal effect type detection unit 203 comprises a longitudinal effect type piezoelectric element 211 comprising a piezoelectric body 211a of a thin film, an electrode 211b and an electrode 211c, which is formed on a deposition substrate 221 serving also as a weight. The lateral effect type detection unit 204 is constituted by providing a lateral effect type piezoelectric element 213 comprising a piezoelectric body 213a of a thin film, an electrode 213b and an electrode 213c, which is formed on the deposition substrate 221 and is cantilevered above a groovy recessed part 105a on a substrate 105. A detection circuit 116 detects an acceleration in a predetermined direction, based on an output of both the longitudinal effect type detection unit 203 and the lateral effect type detection unit 204. Consequently, it is possible to detect an acceleration in a predetermined direction and to make a wider dynamic range and a wider band.
摘要:
A piezoelectric thin film element D, in which a piezoelectric thin film 1 with first and second electrode films 2 and 3 respectively formed on its opposite surfaces in the thickness direction is held by a hold film 5, is fabricated by forming each film 1, 2, 3, and 5 on a film formation substrate 11 and removing the film formation substrate 11 by etching. Even when the hold film 5 is made of material such as resin and therefore exhibits relatively poor adhesion with respect to the other films, the piezoelectric thin film 1 is protected from damage by etchant because the first electrode film 2 which comes into contact with the film formation substrate 11 is formed such that the overall circumference of a peripheral edge portion of the first electrode film 2 laterally extends beyond the lateral surface of the piezoelectric thin film 1 and closely adheres to the hold film 5.

A ferroelectric thin film includes lead titanate including La and at least an element which forms a six-coordinate bond with oxygen atoms and which is selected from the group consisting of Mg and Mn. The ferroelectric thin film is imparted with a high c-axis orientation while the film is formed without a polarization process. The ferroelectric thin film is manufactured by the steps of: positioning a MgO single crystal substrate disposed in advance with a foundation platinum electrode by a sputtering method on the surface of a substrate heater, exhausting a chamber, heating the substrate by a substrate heater, letting in sputtering gases Ar and O.sub.2 through a nozzle into the chamber, and maintaining a high degree of vacuum. Then, high frequency electric power is input to a target from a high frequency electric power source to generate plasma, and a film is formed on the substrate. In this way, a ferroelectric thin film containing, for example, �(1-x).multidot.Pb.sub.1-y La.sub.y Ti.sub.1-y/4 O.sub.3 +x.multidot.MgO!, where x=0.01.about.0.10 and y=0.05.about.0.25 can be manufactured.

A NaCl oxide thin layer oriented to (100) face or a spinel oxide thin layer oriented to (100) face, a perovskite dielectric thin layer oriented to (100) face and a metal electrode are sequentially laminated on a metal electrode, thus providing a thin film capacitor. Or alternatively, a thin film capacitor is manufactured by sequentially laminating a NaCl oxide thin layer oriented to (100) face or a spinel oxide thin layer oriented to (100) face, a platinum thin layer as a lower electrode oriented to (100) face, a perovskite dielectric thin layer oriented to (100) face and a metal thin layer as an upper electrode on a substrate. A plasma-enhanced CVD method is applied to form a NaCl oxide thin layer, a spinel oxide thin layer and a perovskite dielectric thin layer while a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, a CVD method or a plasma-enhanced CVD method is applied for the formation of a metal electrode.
