Electronic component, manufacturing method for the same, and filter, duplexer, and electronic communication apparatus using the same

摘要

A manufacturing method for an electronic component includes a process of forming a lower electrode and a dummy electrode, which are electrically connected to each other, on a substrate, and a process of forming a piezoelectric thin film on the dummy electrode and the lower electrode while a predetermined bias potential is applied to the lower electrode via the dummy electrode. In this method, the piezoelectric thin film is formed on the lower electrode by stabilizing the potential of the lower electrode, thereby decreasing the surface roughness of the piezoelectric thin film. It is thus possible to manufacture an electronic component that exhibits excellent piezoelectric characteristics, in which the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the quality factor of a resonator are increased.
