  • Abstract
    During the last decade, the applications of PMN-PT spread significantly. Unlike PZT, the appropriate microtechnologies for PMN-PT Piezo-MEMS aren´t fully documented in the literature. This paper deals with the PMN-PT etching by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) technique, also known as DRIE. The paper quantitatively presents the etching parameters of PMN-PT by the Ar/C4F8 gas combination and reports some related useful experience.
