The method of manufacturing a piezoelectric element includes the steps of: a lower electrode forming step of forming a lower electrode on a surface of a substrate; a piezoelectric film deposition step of depositing a piezoelectric film made of a piezoelectric material by one of epitaxial growth and oriented growth onto a surface of the lower electrode reverse to a surface adjacent to the substrate; an upper electrode forming step of forming an upper electrode onto a surface of the piezoelectric film reverse to a surface adjacent to the lower electrode; and a polarization direction reversal step of reversing a polarization direction of the piezoelectric film by applying an alternating electric field of an intensity not lower than a coercive electric field of the piezoelectric material, between the upper electrode and the lower electrode, and then applying a direct electric field of an intensity not lower than the coercive electric field in a direction from the upper electrode toward the lower electrode. |
