Abstract

This paper reports the 3×3×0.003 mm3 piezoelectric membrane acoustic device, which works as a microphone and a microspeaker. It has a 0.5 μm thick zinc oxide (ZnO) piezoelectric thin film on a 1.5 μm thick low stress silicon nitride membrane, made of LPCVD. The maximum deflection in the center of membrane, using laser Doppler vibrometer, is 1 μm at 7.3 kHz with input drive 15 VP-K (zero-peak). The output sound pressure level (SPL) of microspeaker is 76.3 dB SPL at 7.3 kHz, and 83.1 dB SPL at 13.3 kHz with input drive 15V. The distance between reference microphone and piezoelectric microspeaker is 1 cm. The sensitivity of microphone is 0.51 mV/Pa at 7.3 kHz with noise level of 18 dB SPL.
