Abstract

See full text

A method includes a step of stacking a first electrode layer, a piezoelectric layer, and a second electrode layer on a first substrate to form a first laminate; a step of stacking a support layer on a second substrate to form a second laminate; a step of bonding the first and second laminates through an adhesive layer to form a third laminate; a step of removing the first substrate from the third laminate; a step of processing the third laminate in a desired shape; and a step of removing the second substrate. A Young's modulus of the adhesive layer is smaller than a Young's modulus of the piezoelectric layer. Respective Young's moduli of the second electrode layer and the support layer are larger than the Young's modulus of the adhesive layer. The third laminate has no other piezoelectric layer except for the aforementioned piezoelectric layer.
