Abstract

Piezoelectric actuator is one of the most development prospects in MEMS actuators. Based on AN-SYS, finite element method software, the assemble methods and structure parameters of piezoelectric diaphragm were designed and optimized. The optimized parameters for structures of PZT/Si and PZT/Cu were obtained and used in fabrication of the micopump with valve. The simulation of piezoelectric actuator effect of the micropump is in accord with the results of the test. The back pressure of the micropump is 836 Pa, and flux is 1.4 mL/min.
