Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for increasing bulk conductivity of a ferroelectric material. SOLUTION: The ferroelectric material (201) is placed in environments (210) containing a metal vapor and worked by being heated to below its Curie temperature in one embodiment. The bulk conductivity of the ferroelectric material can be increased without practically degrading ferroelectric domain characteristics. The ferroelectric material (201) consists of lithium tantalate and the metal vapor consists of zinc in one embodiment. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
