摘要:
In a piezoelectric device, a first electrode, a first piezoelectric film, a second piezoelectric film, and a second electrode are formed in this order on a first electrode formed above a surface of the substrate, and an intermediate electrode is arranged between the first and second piezoelectric films. Each of the first and second piezoelectric films has a thickness of 10 micrometers or smaller, and has a first surface facing toward the substrate and a second surface opposite to the first surface. At least one of the first and second surfaces has an arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) of 0.5 micrometers or smaller.

摘要:
The piezoelectric device includes a substrate, a first electrode formed on the substrate, a piezoelectric film formed on the first electrode and a second electrode formed on a second side of the piezoelectric film which is away from a first side where the first electrode is formed. The first electrode is composed of a first layer in contact with the substrate and a second layer in contact with the piezoelectric film. The first layer is formed of a material that is wet etched at a different rate than the substrate. The ink-jet head includes the piezoelectric device, a liquid droplet storing/ejecting member for ejecting ink droplets through a ink spout and provided on the piezoelectric device and a diaphragm for vibrating in response to expansion or contraction of the piezoelectric device and provided between the piezoelectric device and the liquid droplet storing/ejecting member.

The method of manufacturing a piezoelectric actuator, includes the steps of: forming a lower electrode film on an insulating substrate; forming a piezoelectric film on the lower electrode film; forming a slit on the piezoelectric film to expose a portion of the lower electrode film on an upper surface side of the piezoelectric film; forming an insulating layer which covers a portion of the piezoelectric film; forming an upper electrode film so as to span the insulating layer and the piezoelectric film; forming, on the piezoelectric film, a lower wire in connection with the portion of the lower electrode film exposed through the slit; depositing a first metal film on the lower wire and thereby making a film thickness of the lower wire greater than a film thickness of the lower electrode film; and depositing a second metal film on a portion of the upper electrode film on the insulating layer and thereby making a film thickness of the portion of the upper electrode film on the insulating layer greater than a film thickness of a portion of the upper electrode film that has been deposited directly on the piezoelectric film.
