Abstract

A ferroelectric film having a ferroelectric shown by a general formula (Pb 1-d Bi d )(B 1-a X a )O 3 , B including at least one of Zr and Ti, X including at least one of Nb and Ta, “a” being in a range of “0.05≦a≦0.4”, and “d” being in a range of “0<d<1”.

Claims (30)

1. A method of manufacturing a ferroelectric film including a ferroelectric shown by a general formula (Pb 1-d Bi d )(B 1-a X a )O 3 ,

B including at least one of Zr and Ti;

X including at least one of Nb and Ta;

“a” being in a range of “0.05≦a≦0.4”;

“d” being in a range of “0<d<1”; and

the method comprising:

mixing a sol-gel raw material including a hydrolysis-condensation product of a metal alkoxide containing at least Zr and Ti, a polycarboxylic acid or a polycarboxylic acid ester, and an organic solvent; and

forming a ferroelectric precursor solution including an ester bond by esterification of the polycarboxylic acid or a polycarboxylic acid derived from the polycarboxylic acid ester and the metal alkoxide.

2. The method of manufacturing a ferroelectric film as defined in claim 1 ,

the ferroelectric film further including a crystal of BiNbO 4 , and

the method comprising:

mixing a sol-gel raw material including a hydrolysis-condensation product of a metal alkoxide containing at least Zr and Ti, a polycarboxylic acid or a polycarboxylic acid ester, and an organic solvent; and

forming a ferroelectric precursor solution including an ester bond by esterification of the polycarboxylic acid or a polycarboxylic acid derived from the polycarboxylic acid ester and the metal alkoxide.

3. The method of manufacturing a ferroelectric film as defined in claim 1 , comprising:

mixing a sol-gel raw material including a bismuth carboxylate when mixing the sol-gel raw material, the polycarboxylic acid or the polycarboxylic acid ester, and the organic solvent.

4. The method of manufacturing a ferroelectric film as defined in claim 1 , comprising:

mixing a sol-gel raw material including a lead carboxylate when mixing the sol-gel raw material, the polycarboxylic acid or the polycarboxylic acid ester, and the organic solvent.

5. The method of manufacturing a ferroelectric film as defined in claim 1 ,

wherein the polycarboxylic acid or the polycarboxylic acid ester is a dicarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylic acid ester.

6. The method of manufacturing a ferroelectric film as defined in claim 1 , comprising:

mixing a sol-gel raw material including Si or Si and Ge when mixing the sol-gel raw material, the polycarboxylic acid or the polycarboxylic acid ester, and the organic solvent.

7. A method of manufacturing a ferroelectric film including a ferroelectric shown by a general formula (Pb 1-d Bi d )(B 1-a X a )O 3 ,

B including at least one of Zr and Ti;

X including at least one of Nb and Ta;

“a” being in a range of “0.05≦a≦0.4”;

“d” being in a range of “0<d<1”; and

the method comprising:

mixing a sol-gel raw material including a hydrolysis-condensation product of a metal alkoxide containing at least Zr and Ti, a polycarboxylic acid or a polycarboxylic acid ester, and an organic solvent;

forming a ferroelectric precursor solution including an ester bond by esterification of the polycarboxylic acid or a polycarboxylic acid derived from the polycarboxylic acid ester and the metal alkoxide; and

crystallizing the precursor solution.
