Abstract

This paper presents the development of on-chip dynamic functionalized PZT based piezoelectric canti-lever with self-sensing read-out circuit. The cantilever consists of Pd layer acting as a top electrode and functional layer, with the PZT grown on the bottom Pt/Ti electrode. The cantilever has been fabricated using surface micro-machining and characterized. It demonstrated 0.1 % shift in resonant frequency per 12 MPa stress change in the functional layer and 1.125 µm change in displacement at resonance fre-quency per 1 MPa stress change in the functional layer.
