In general, the FBAR is configured in a structure including a resonating unit in which a first electrode, a piezoelectric film, and a second electrode are layered in turn on a substrate.
An operation of the FBAR is as follows. First, when electric energy is applied to the first and the second electrodes, an electric field is incited in the piezoelectric film. The electric field incites a piezoelectric phenomenon to the piezoelectric film, so that the resonating unit oscillates in a predetermined direction. As a result, a
