Abstract
Piezoelectric bimorphs have been made by sputtering ZnO on Si3N4. The ZnO was sandwiched between Cr/Au electrodes. Bimorphs 1688- and 2980-μm long were produced. The frequency dependence of the tip deflection of the bimorphs was measured. It was observed that the deflection increases with biasing voltage, as was to be expected from static deflection measurements
