A dielectric element includes a lower electrode layer provided on a
substrate, a dielectric layer provided on the lower electrode layer and
an upper electrode layer provided on the dielectric layer. The dielectric
layer has a first dielectric layer provided on a side of the lower
electrode layer, and a second dielectric layer provided on a side of the
upper electrode layer. The second dielectric layer is a layer comprised
mainly of an oxide including four or more kinds of metal element
components, and the first dielectric layer does not substantially include
at least one component selected from metal elements included in the oxide
layer of the second dielectric layer and is comprised mainly of an oxide
including at least three components selected from the remaining metal
elements without substantially including Ti and Zr elements.
