Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a piezoelectric laminate, including: a substrate; an electrode film formed on the substrate; a layer comprised of lanthanum nickel oxide and formed on the electrode film; and a piezoelectric film formed on the layer comprised of lanthanum nickel oxide, and comprised of alkali niobium oxide of a perovskite structure represented by a composition formula of (K1−xNax)NbO3 (0<x<1), and containing a metallic element selected from a group consisting of Cu and Mn at a concentration of 0.2 at % or more and 2.0 at % or less, wherein the piezoelectric film has a breakdown voltage of 350 kV/cm or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A piezoelectric laminate, comprising: a substrate; an electrode film formed on the substrate; a layer comprised of lanthanum nickel oxide and formed on the electrode film; and a piezoelectric film formed on the layer comprised of lanthanum nickel oxide, and comprised of alkali niobium oxide of a perovskite structure represented by a composition formula of (K 1−x Na x )NbO 3 (0<x<1), and containing a metallic element selected from a group consisting of Cu and Mn at a concentration of 0.2 at % or more and 2.0 at % or less, wherein the piezoelectric film has a breakdown voltage of 350 kV/cm or more. 2 . The piezoelectric laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the piezoelectric film has a thickness of 0.5 μm or more and 5 μm or less. 3 . The piezoelectric laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the electrode film is comprised of a material different from lanthanum nickel oxide. 4 . A piezoelectric element, comprising: a substrate; a bottom electrode film formed on the substrate; a layer including lanthanum nickel oxide and formed on the bottom electrode film; a piezoelectric film formed on the layer comprised of lanthanum nickel oxide, and comprised of alkali niobium oxide of a perovskite structure represented by a composition formula of (K 1−x Na x )NbO 3 (0<x<1), and containing a metallic element selected from a group consisting of Cu and Mn at a concentration of 0.2 at % or more and 2.0 at % or less; and a top electrode film formed on the piezoelectric film, wherein the piezoelectric film has a breakdown voltage of 350 kV/cm or more. 5 . A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric laminate, comprising: forming an electrode film on a substrate; forming a layer comprised of lanthanum nickel oxide on the electrode film; and forming a piezoelectric film comprised of alkali niobium oxide of a perovskite structure represented by a composition formula of (K 1−x Na x )NbO 3 (0<x<1), containing a metallic element selected from a group consisting of Cu and Mn at a concentration of 0.2 at % or more and 2.0 at % or less, and having a breakdown voltage of 350 kV/cm or more, on the layer comprised of lanthanum nickel oxide.
