Fabrication and characterization of PZT string based MEMS devices

String based MEMS devices recently attract world technology development thanks to their advantages over cantilever ones. Approaching to this direction, the paper reports on the micro-fabrication and characterization of free-standing doubly clamped piezoelectric beams based on heterostructures of Pd/ FeNi/Pd/PZT/LSMO/STO/Si. The displacement of strings is investigated in both static and dynamic mode.
