Abstract

This paper describes a micromachined piezoelectric bimorph microphone, which is built on a low stress Parylene diaphragm with high quality ZnO films. The ZnO thin film has fine grain with the average grain size less than 1  and the grain orientation is perpendicular to the substrate. The highest sensitivity of piezoelectric bimorph microphone fabricated in this study is about 0.74 mV/Pa, which is twice higher than that of an individual segmented electrode. Based upon the experimental results, we proposed the equivalent electrical circuit model of piezoelectric bimorph microphone.
