Abstract
A piezoelectric device (1) includes an at least locally thin-walled ceramic substrate (2) and at least one piezoelectric transducer (3) on the substrate (2). The piezoelectric transducer (3) includes a lower electrode layer (4), a piezoelectric layer (5) and an upper electrode layer (6) which are sequentially laminated with each other. The piezoelectric layer (5) has a dimension which is sufficient to cover substantially completely the lower electrode layer (4). The piezoelectric layer (5) has at least one edge (7) which protrudes beyond the lower electrode layer (4) and which is at least locally incompletely bonded to the ceramic substrate (2).
