Abstract
A piezoelectric thin-film multilayer body includes a substrate, an adhesive layer on the substrate, a lower electrode layer on the adhesive layer, and a lead-free piezoelectric thin-film layer on the lower electrode layer. The lead-free piezoelectric thin-film layer is composed of lithium potassium sodium niobate (composition formula (NaKLi)NbO, 0<x<1, 0<y<1, 0≦z≦1, x+y+z=1). The maximum height Rz of a roughness of an adhesive-layer-facing surface of the substrate is 2 nm or less. The adhesive layer is composed of a non-crystalline oxide of a Group 4 element or a non-crystalline oxide of a Group 5 element. The adhesive layer has a thickness of 1 nm or more and 2 nm or less and is equal to or more than the maximum height Rz of the roughness of the surface of the substrate.
