Abstract

Piezoelectrically transduced microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices are promising candidates for use in distributed wireless sensor networks (WSN) to their low driving voltage and various sensing actuation capabilities. In this paper, we present a micromachined silicon disk resonator with on-disk piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films as both the actuator and sensor for human healthcare and safety applications. The resonator shows preferred system integration compatibilities, and the negative effects of the PZT-electrode stacks were compressed. A high quality factor was achieved both in air (∼1;300) and under vacuum (∼5;000). The effects of through-hole and other parameters on device sensitivity were examined and discussed in this paper.
