Abstract
In a method of manufacturing a piezoelectric device, during an isolation formation step, a supporting substrate has a piezoelectric thin film formed on its front with a compressive stress film present on its back. The compressive stress film compresses the surface on a piezoelectric single crystal substrate side of the supporting substrate, and the piezoelectric thin film compresses the back of the supporting substrate, which is opposite to the surface on the piezoelectric single crystal substrate side. Thus, the compressive stress produced by the compressive stress film and that produced by the piezoelectric thin film are balanced in the supporting substrate, which causes the supporting substrate to be free of warpage and remain flat. A driving force that induces isolation in the isolation formation step is gasification of the implanted ionized element rather than the compressive stress to the isolation plane produced by the piezoelectric thin film.
