ABSTRACT:
A monolithic piezoelectric element includes a stack, and the stack includes a crack-forming conductive layer arranged to intentionally form a small crack in the stack. The small crack alleviates stress, thereby preventing the occurrence of a large crack that may extend to the piezoelectrically active region.
