Piezoelectric micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are finding an increased interest for applications requiring high frequency operation and high mechanical quality. The aim of this work was to improve piezoelectric MEMS along two main research directio ...
Radio frequency (RF) filters based on bulk acoustic wave resonances in piezoelectric thin films have become indispensable components in mobile communications. The currently used material, AlN, exhibits many excellent properties for this purpose. However, i ...
Ferroelectrics are characterised by a spontaneous polarisation that can be reversed by an external electric field. The stability of the polarisation states and the possibility for controlled switching between the states render ferroelectric materials very ...
The authors report on the ability to control the polarity of sputter deposited AlN001 thin films using seed layers. Reactive sputter deposition leads to N-polarity on any substrate hitherto applied, i.e., Si111, sapphire, SiO2, and polycrystalline metals su ...
This project aims to analyze, fabricate and characterize a mechanical hydrogen sensor. The potential of hydrogen gas detection using beam resonators is investigated. The beams consist mainly of Si3N4, providing a tensile stress to prevent buckling. Pd expa ...
In this paper, we introduce a charge integrator as a read-out system for piezoelectric cantilever sensors. The charge integrator is used to monitor the surface charge induced by piezoelectric materials as a function of mechanical stress. This technique imp ...
Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3 (PZT) is an interesting material for bulk acoustic wave resonator applications due to its high electromechanical coupling constant, which would enable fabrication of large bandwidth frequency filters. The major challenge of the PZT solid solu ...
High-Q, bulk acoustic wave composite resonators based on a symmetric layer sequence Of SiO2-A1N-SiO2 sandwiched between electrodes have been developed. Acoustic isolation was achieved by means of deep silicon etching to obtain membrane type TFBAR's. Three ...

Micro-system for active vibratory insulation, characterised in that it comprises a stand which includes a frame (1) and at least two beams (2a, 2b) which interlock and carry or are intended to carry an element requiring stabilisation (3), said beams (2a, 2 ...
Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers comprising a 10 mu m thick Si device layer and a 14 pro thick piezoelectric PZT layer were investigated. The PZT films were deposited by a sol-gel technique. The transverse piezoelectric coefficient was me ...
