Abstract

An aspect of the present invention relates to ferroelectric ceramics including a stacked film formed on a Si substrate, a Pt film formed on the stacked film, a SrTiO 3 film formed on the Pt film, and a PZT film formed on the SrTiO 3 , wherein the stacked film is formed by repeating sequentially N times a first ZrO 2 film and a Y 2 O 3 film, and a second ZrO 2 film is formed on the film formed repeatedly N times, the N being an integer of 1 or more. It is preferable that a ratio of Y/(Zr+Y) of the stacked film is 30% or less.
