Printed thick-film piezoelectric and pyroelectric sensors
V. Ferrari, University of Brescia, Italy
Abstract:
The composition, structure and properties of piezoelectric and pyroelectric thick-films on ceramic and silicon substrates are surveyed. With particular focus on screen-printed films of ferroelectric ceramics in the family of lead zirconate titanate (PZT), applications in sensors and microsystems, actuators and energy harvesting are outlined and possible future trends delineated.
