Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electret includes an electret layer. The electret layer is formed by subjecting a composite film in which inorganic dielectric particles are dispersed and held in a base film to a polarization treatment. The inorganic dielectric particles are mainly composed of an inorganic dielectric material having a bandgap energy of 4 eV or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electret comprising an electret layer, wherein the electret layer is formed by subjecting a composite film in which inorganic dielectric particles are dispersed and held in a base film to a polarization treatment, and the inorganic dielectric particles are mainly composed of an inorganic dielectric material having a bandgap energy of 4 eV or more. 2. The electret according to claim 1 , further comprising a substrate, wherein the electret layer is formed above a surface of the substrate. 3. The electret according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic dielectric material is a composite oxide having an ABO 3 type perovskite structure containing two different metal elements A and B. 4. The electret according to claim 3 , wherein in the composite oxide, an A site of the perovskite structure is occupied by a rare earth element R selected from the group consisting of La, Y, Pr, Sm and Nd, and a B site of the perovskite structure is occupied by Al. 5. The electret according to claim 4 , wherein in the composite oxide, at least one of the metal elements A and B is partially substituted with a dopant element composed of a different metal element, the dopant element that substitutes for the metal element A is an alkaline earth metal element, and the dopant element that substitutes for the metal element B is one or more element selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metal elements and Zn. 6. The electret according to claim 5 , wherein a substitution ratio of the dopant element that substitutes for the metal element A is 0.5 atomic % to 20 atomic %, and a substitution ratio of the dopant element that substitutes for the metal element B is 0.5 atomic % to 20 atomic %. 7. The electret according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic dielectric material is an inorganic compound having an apatite structure containing phosphate ions and hydroxide ions. 8. The electret according to claim 1 , wherein the base film has a dielectric breakdown electric field strength higher than an electric field strength during the polarization treatment and is made of a material that is stable at a temperature during the polarization treatment. 9. The electret according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the inorganic dielectric particles in the composite film is 30% by volume or more and 75% by volume or less.
