Abstract
An electret element includes: an Si layer, an SiO2 layer formed at a surface of the Si layer; and an electret formed at the SiO2 layer near an interface of the SiO2 layer and the Si layer.
Claims8
An electret element, comprising:
- an Si layer,
- an SiO2 layer formed at a surface of the Si layer;
- and
- an electret formed at the SiO2 layer near an interface of the SiO2 layer and the Si layer.
1 more element
A method for manufacturing an electret element, comprising:
- applying a voltage between an Si layer, with an SiO2 layer formed thereat, and the SiO2 layer while sustaining the Si layer at a first temperature at which the SiO2 layer is rendered in a semiconductor state;
- and
- changing temperatures at the Si layer with the SiO2 layer formed thereat from the first temperature to a second temperature at which the SiO2 layer regains an insulating property in a state of continuous voltage application.
