Abstract :
A bulk-micromachined piezoelectric MEMS accelerometer with screen printed piezoelectric Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT) thick film (TF) as the sensing material has been fabricated and characterized. The accelerometer has a four beam structure with a central seismic mass (3600times3600times500 mum3) and a total chip size of 10times10 mm2. The resonance frequency is found to be 17.5 kHz and the sensitivity 4.15 mV/g for a single beam.
