Abstract
Provided is a piezoelectric thin film including a non-lead-containing (that is, lead-free) ferroelectric material and having high piezoelectric performance comparable to that of PZT, and a method of manufacturing the piezoelectric thin film. The piezoelectric film according to the present invention comprises a laminate structure. The laminate structure comprises an electric film and a (1-x)(Na,Bi)TiO-xBaTiOfilm. x represents a value of not less than 0.03 and not more than 0.15. The (1-x)(Na,Bi)TiO-xBaTiOfilm has a (110) surface orientation only. The (1-x)(Na,Bi)TiO-xBaTiOfilm has an orthorhombic crystal structure only.
