摘要
In this letter, the design, fabrication, and characterization of a novel piezoelectric microtransformer with bar geometry are presented. The piezoelectric microtransformers were fabricated using PZT thin films and microelectromechanical system technologies. The dimensions of these devices are 1000x400x5.8 mu m(3) (lengthxwidthxthickness). The dynamic displacement of around 9.2 +/- 0.064 mu m was observed at 10V(ac). The dynamic displacement varied almost linearly with voltage. When driven at the input voltage of 3V(ac), the output voltage of the piezoelectric microtransformer was 6.4V(ac) at the resonant frequency (F-r), 8.006 kHz and load resistance (R-L), 1 M Omega. The average voltage gain (step-up ratio) was approximately 2.13.
