Abstract
A piezoelectric device includes a membrane portion including a through slot extending through the membrane portion in an up-down direction. A width of the through slot in a single crystal piezoelectric material layer becomes narrower as the through slot extends downward. In the single crystal piezoelectric material layer and a reinforcing layer, a maximum width of the through slot in a layer located on a bottom side is smaller than a minimum width of the through slot in a layer located on a top side.
