Abstract

The performance of a piezoelectric generator in terms of the quality factor Q, the electromechanical coupling coefficient k2, and the efficiency were examined. The effect of design parameters such as membrane size, piezoelectric thickness, silicon thickness, and top electrode area are explored. The results show that both k2 and Q are sensitive to PZT thickness and electrode size.
