Piezoelectric crystalline film on a substrate, which is a crystalline zinc oxide film with a c-axis substantially perpendicular to the substrate surface, the crystalline zinc oxide film containing, as an additive element, phosphorus. The piezoelectric crystalline films have high resistivity and a smooth surface, and make it possible to produce piezoelectric transducers with good conversion efficiency. Such films are made by sputtering zinc oxide and phosphorus onto a substrate from a film material source consisting essentially of a ceramic of zinc oxide containing phosphorus. |
