PZT Acoustic Energy Harvester Arrays with Dual Top Electrodes

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the power generation performances of an array of three microelectromechanical system (MEMS) acoustic energy harvesters equiped with lead–zirconate–titanate (PZT) capacitors. The PZT acoustic energy harvesters had a diaphragm with a diameter of 2 mm consisting of Al (0.1 μm) / PZT (1 μm) / Pt (0.1 μm) / Ti (0.1 μm) / SiO2 (1.5 μm), and the diaphragm vibrations were excited by sound pressure. The arrayed peripheral energy harvester generated a maximum power of 2.26 × 10-10 W at a sound pressure level (SPL) of 100 dB at 5 kHz. The output power of three arraying devices was about 3 times larger than that of the single devices.
