Piezoelectric actuation of PZT thin film diaphragms at static and resonant conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The piezoelectric response of silicon diaphragms covered with sputter-deposited PbZr0.45Ti0.55O3 (PZT) films has been investigated in view of their application in ultrasonic micro-actuators. The behaviour of resonance frequencies and quasistatic deflections has been studied as a function of membrane thickness and d.c. bias. The total stress in the films and the piezoelectric constant, d31, have been derived by means of two different methods. The results are consistent with direct strain measurements by optical interferometry and with bulk ceramic values of identical composition.

Synthetic jets with piezoelectric diaphragms [5761-32]
Piezoelectric diaphragms are used as synthetic jets because of their size, rapid time response, and relatively low power consumption. Among the piezoelectric diaphragms used are unimorphs and Bimorphs. In this study, a bimorph diaphragm, a thin Unimorph pre-stressed device and a Radial Field Diaphragm (RFD) are compared. A bimorph consists of two bonded PZT discs, a thin Unimorph pre-stressed d...

متن کاملLarge displacement vertical translational actuator based on piezoelectric thin films.
A novel vertical translational microactuator based on thin-film piezoelectric actuation is presented, using a set of four compound bend-up/bend-down unimorphs to produce translational motion of a moving platform or stage. The actuation material is a chemical-solution deposited lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) thin film. Prototype designs have shown as much as 120 μm of static displacement, with 80...
متن کاملCharacterization of PZT thin films for micromotors
Piezoelectric membranes consisting of sputter deposited PbZrxTi1−xO3 (PZT) films on silicon diaphragms have been investigated for their resonance and piezoelectrical properties, in view of their application as stator of a micromotor. The behavior of resonance frequencies was studied as a function of membrane thickness and dc-bias, in order to derive the total stress in the films and the piezoel...
متن کاملSensitivity of Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Microsensors with Sol-Gel Derived PZT Films Prepared through Various Pyrolysis Temperatures
Sensitivity of piezoelectric-diaphragm type ultrasonic microsensors were investigated with sol-gel derived lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) films prepared through various pyrolysis temperatures. The residual stress of the PZT film should be precisely controlled because the sensor diaphragms show static deflection by buckling and highly sensitive sensors have been realized on upward-buckled diaphra...
