MEMS Accelerometer with Screen Printed Piezoelectric Thick Film

Abstract

A bulk-micromachined piezoelectric MEMS accelerometer with screen printed piezoelectric Pb(Zr x Ti 1-x )O 3 (PZT) thick film (TF) as the sensing material has been fabricated and characterized. The accelerometer has a four beam structure with a central seismic mass (3600times3600times500 mum3) and a total chip size of 10times10 mm 2 . The resonance frequency is found to be 17.5 kHz and the sensitivity 4.15 mV/g for a single beam.
