摘要
A PZT piezoelectric cantilever with a micromachined Si proof mass is designed and fabricated for a low frequency vibration energy harvesting application. The SiO2 layer in the SOI wafer promotes accurate control of the silicon thickness that is used as a supporting layer in the cantilever beam structure. The entire effective volume of the fabricated device is about 0.7690 mm(3). When excited at 0.75g(g=9.81 m/s(2)) acceleration amplitude at its resonant frequency of 183.8 Hz, the AC output measured across a resistive load of 16 k Omega connecting to the device in parallel has an amplitude of 101 mV. The average power and power density determined by the same measurement conditions are, respectively, 0.32 mu W and 416 mu W/cm(3). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
