摘要:
The present invention provides a piezoelectric single crystal device excellent in heat resistance and capable of stably maintaining the electromechanical coupling factor k31 in a lateral vibration mode at a high value of 50% or more without a decrease even in an operating environment in which the temperature changes from room temperature to a high temperature (specifically, 150° C.), and also provides a fabrication method thereof. Specifically, assuming that the [101] axis of a tetragonal system having the [001] axis as a C axis (with the largest lattice constant) is a polarization direction 3, a normal direction 1 to an edge face T of the piezoelectric device is within the solid-angle range of ±25° with respect to the [-101] axis substantially orthogonal to the polarization direction 3, the range including the [-101] axis. Assuming that the [011] axis of the tetragonal system is the polarization direction 3, the normal direction 1 to the edge face T of the piezoelectric device is within the solid-angle range of ±25° with respect to the [0-11] axis substantially orthogonal to the polarization direction 3, the range including the [0-11] axis. In any case, the electromechanical coupling factor k31 in the direction orthogonal to the polarization direction 3, i.e., in the lateral vibration mode, is 50% or more.

In a piezoelectric device that uses a vibration mode in a direction parallel to a polarization direction, a single crystal device that achieves an electromechanical coupling factor of 65% or more, which is more than the electromechanical coupling factor (about 60%) of the existing flat plane type piezoelectric single crystal device in that vibrational direction, is provided by performing certain treatment to its device plane. Specifically, a piezoelectric portion having a comb-shaped structure in which a plurality of slits are formed with a certain arrangement pitch on either of device planes whose polarization direction is their normal direction, the slits having a depth extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the device plane and being filled with an insulating material, is formed to achieve 65% or more of an electromechanical coupling factor in a direction parallel to the polarization direction.
