Abstract

A piezoelectric resonator element and method of manufacturing same are provided. The piezoelectric resonator element having a lower electrode, a piezoelectric substance layer, and an upper electrode disposed in this order on a substrate with an air layer between the substrate and the lower electrode, and having a laminated structure of the lower electrode, the piezoelectric substance layer, and the upper electrode in at least a part of the piezoelectric resonator element, wherein internal stress of the piezoelectric substance layer is −300 MPa to 90 MPa.

Claims (5)

1. A piezoelectric resonator element comprising:

a lower electrode, a piezoelectric substance layer, and an upper electrode disposed in sequential order on a substrate with an air layer between said substrate and said lower electrode, and having the laminated structure of said lower electrode, said piezoelectric substance layer, and said upper electrode in at least a part of said piezoelectric resonator element,

wherein internal stress of said piezoelectric substance layer ranges from -300 MPa to 90 MPa.

2. The piezoelectric resonator element as claimed in claim 1 ,wherein said piezoelectric substance layer is formed by aluminium nitride oriented in a direction normal to said substrate.

3. The piezoelectric resonator element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said lower electrode encloses said air layer between said lower electrode and said substrate.
