Abstract

In our previous work, we presented a novel technique for fabricating Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) chips in order to investigate structural and piezoelectric properties of Pulsed Laser Deposited (PLD) Lead Zirconium Titanate (Pb(Zr,Ti)O3) (PZT) thin films. We accomplished the fabrication of the devices we presented last year and obtained fully functional PLD PZT membranes. In this paper, we present the results of the fabrication process, which involves silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer technology together with deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and highly selective etchants. In addition, we demonstrate the functionality of the membranes by piezoelectric actuation and characterized a selected membrane design through a set of experiments including X-ray diffraction (XRD), residual stress and frequency analyses.
