Combining SMAs with piezoelectric or mag- netostrictive materials, eld-activated smart com- posites can be designed, which may generate a larger displacement than conventional piezoelectric ceramics or magnetostrictive materials and have an improved dynamic response as compared to monolithic SMAs. More recently, some pioneers have explored the tech- nical feasibility of smart thin-lm heterostructures by depositing the SMA thin lms on piezoelectric or magnetostrictive substrates. However, the complexity of the fabrication processing and the interface bonding and dynamic coupling of dissimilar components re- main tough issues for the composites [213]. The alternative is to improve the monolithic shape- memory materials by employing new processing tech- niques or to design a new generation of shape-memory materials. The development of deposited thin-lm shape-memory alloys, as we described above, is one of the eorts directed to this objective. Also worth men- tion are the recently developed porous shape-memory alloys [214, 215]. Bulk TiNi alloys with dierent por- osity, exhibiting superelasticity and shape-memory eect, have been successfully manufactured via the powder metallurgical route. The porous SMAs are very desirable for some biomedical applications be- cause the alloys have good biocompatibility and their porous structure favours in-growth of living tissues and rm xation. Naturally, it reminds us of bone a typical biomimetic model. Bone is also porous; moreover, it exhibits pyroelectricity and piezoelectric- ity, and maintains the skeletal homeostasis and min- eral homeostasis for the body [1]. After the model, biomimetic articial bone materials based on the porous SMAs and other advanced materials may be developed. For instance, microballoons or microtubes coated by some functional material layers can be constructed in the porous SMAs which may provide a suitable substrate or skeleton to grow heterostruc- tures with certain intelligence. In principle, the deformation of the polydomains in the ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials by ap- plying external elds can be controlled just the same way as the stress-induced deformation of the marten- sites in ferroelastic SMAs. The next challenging objective, therefore, is to explore new potentially com- mercial materials wherein the martensitic-like trans- formations and the reorientation of the domains can be induced by magnetic elds or electric elds at ambient temperatures. The design concepts and strat- egies for nding new ferromagnetic and ferroelectric shape-memory materials have been proposed [142, 205211]. In this aspect, the remarked common fea- tures shared by several smart material systems, and the successful development story of the giant mag- netostrictive materials Terfenol-D [176, 216218] may oer some clues or inspirations.

Another promising class of materials for force trans- duction consists of electronic polymer materials. The eld of polymer science continues to advance tremen- dously, and there now exist various types of polymers that behave to some degree like the more common metal- or ceramic-based smart materials. 19 However, since most smart polymers are still in early develop- ment, an alternate approach has been to use polymers for sensing or measuring force indirectly. These mate- rials are grouped separately from smart materials because the mechanism employed is not reciprocal (e.g., applying an electrical stimulus will not produce a force output). Rather than performing force trans- duction through direct conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy, as in PVDF, certain types of polymers can be used to modulate an electric current via a force-dependent electrical resistance. Polymer sensors can be used in compression as well as exten- sion and can function over a greater range of strains than conventional metal strain gauges. 20 The two most common physical mechanisms em- ployed in resistive polymer force sensors are piezo- resistance and geometric deformation. The deforma- tion type of force sensor is comprised of a conducting polymer strip or foam (such as polypyrole) and relies simply on the deformation of the polymer to vary the conducting cross section, thus changing the resis- tance. Piezoresistive sensors, in contrast, generally consist of a semi-insulating polymer matrix contain- ing some type of conducting particulates, such as graphite. Such compounds are macroscopically piezoresistive but also exhibit noise and hysteresis due to the percolative nature of the conduction mecha- nism. Although some mildly piezoresistive polymers have been synthesized, practical force sensors com- prised of a homogeneous piezoresistive polymer are not yet commercially available. Rare-earth permanent magnets. The discovery of new rare-earth magnetic materials, such as NdFeB, has led to the development of compact electromag- netic actuators, which represent perhaps the most attractive technology for force actuators requiring large displacements, as a possible substitute for hydraulic actuators. 21 Using a geometry similar to that of solenoid actuators, linear electromagnetic actuators made from permanent magnets can produce forces as high as 2000 foot-pounds over a 24-inch stroke. Cleaner and less noisy than hydraulic actuators, com- pact powerful permanent magnets driven by magnetic elds may also be employed as large-displacement dynamic elements to transmit sound or vibration. Other materials. Some of the materials mentioned in this paper will most likely be superseded by new classes of force transduction materials that are cur- rently being synthesized or are yet to be discovered. In some cases, new process technologies will enable new materials to be processed, such as the powder metallurgy and rapid solidication process that enabled the fabrication of amorphous metals. In other cases, the advent of powerful computers and the increasing ability to engineer materials on the molec- Table 1 Comparison of active materials PZT5H Max strain (! 10 6 ) Max stress (MPa) Density (kg/m 3 ) Modulus (GPa) Efciency (%) Bandwidth (Hz) 300 19 7500 62 56 1000 Energy density (KJ/m 3 ) 2.9 600 72 7500 120 75 1000 22 3000 180 ~7500 ~60 ? ? ? 200 ~1 1780 3 2 1000 ~1 1800 90 9250 40 40 100 19 70000 190 6450 78 >3 3 >10 20000 180 ~1500 5 >30 >1 >1 400000 0.3 ~1300 <0.1 30 .1 0.4 400000 0.3 1037 .06 >35 4 0.8 PMN PLZT PVDF Ternol-D SMA (NiTi) Conducting Polymer Polymer Hydro-gel Human Muscle PZT-PLZT phase diagram 2006 Meeting Trondheim January 5 Phase diagram of the PZT and PLZT solid-solution systems Haertling(1999) Strong ! piezoelectric ! pyroelectric ! electrooptic ! relaxor effects are observed in this system FE = ferroelectric AFE = antiferroelectric PE = paraelectric Pyroelectric application area Piezoelectric application area Relaxor phases Morphotropic phase boundary area Production PZT-MEMS Production PZT-MEMS (cantilever-membrane)

However, on application of switching voltages a linear behaviour between the material properties in the fatigued state and the sample thickness was found. 3 Choice of Materials At present, there are basically three main types of structures that have been considered. These are discussed in this section, with uses for these basic structures elaborated on further in a later section. In most of the structures examined so far, silicon has been used as a substrate, onto which the active part of the device is deposited. 3.1 Whole Wafer In this structure, shown schematically in figure 3.1, the piezoelectric region is deposited across the whole of the wafer. The top electrode is most likely to consist of an array of dots, rather than a continuous electrode. This allows regions to be activated with different voltages, and can help avoid any problems with pin-hopes or conducting pathways for very thin piezoelectric films.
Figure 3.1: Schematic of the MEMS structure based on a whole wafer. The silicon substrates are approximately 500 m thick, standard for 100 mm diameter wafers, but could be around half this value for special wafers. Larger diameter wafers are found to be thicker. The substrates are generally single sided (polished on one side only), although for special cases, double-sided wafers can be found. The support layer is usually silicon dioxide, SiO 2 , which can be thermally grown with ease to produce a thin stoichiometric layer. Silicon nitride or a combination of this and SiO 2 are both possible. In each case, the thickness of this layer is in the region of 1 200 nm. The bottom electrode is found to be Pt/Ti or Pt/TiO 2 , both being used as standard, with TiO 2 showing better adhesion properties [8]. The Pt/Ti electrode structure has a thickness of approximately 100 nm / 5 nm. As well as Pt/Ti, oxide electrodes can be considered. Oxide electrodes can offer the advantage of improving the fatigue characteristics of the piezoelectric, but are usually thicker, being up to about 200 nm. For the upper electrode, Cr/Au is normally used, but the same material as the lower electrode may be used. This electrode, being exposed to the atmosphere, is usually Top electrode Piezoelectric Bottom electrode Support layer Substrate Whole wafer structure MEMS membrane thicker and can be patterned to different sizes during testing. The electrodes can typically be 1 m or so in thickness. The piezoelectric layer generally consists of PZT. High strain relaxor materials will be of interest but little work has been performed in this area thus far. The PZT film thickness is usually in the range 0.5 5 m. 3.2 Membrane In considering membrane structures, such as that shown in figure 3.2, a similar structure is used as for patterning a whole wafer. To date, membranes are either square or circular, but other shapes could be fabricated. The dimension, d, is typically in the range 0.5 5 mm. As part of the silicon structure has been removed in this configuration, the thickness of the support layer, along with its stiffness, become more important, and may well be thicker than encountered previously. A variation of the membrane structure has been used in biomedical applications for micropumps.
Figure 3.2: Schematic of the MEMS membrane structure 3.3 Cantilever A schematic of the cantilever MEMS structure is shown in figure 3.3, and can be found in micro-relays for example. As for the membrane, due to part of the substrate being removed, the thickness and strength of the support layer will be determined by the applications of the device as well as the size and shape of the cantilever. As shown in figure 3.3, if the cantilever is to act as a switch, additional contacts will need to be included in the package. The beam length is typically around 0.1 1 mm, with the width approximately 20 200 m.

As well as traditional piezoelectric materials such as PZT and BaTiO 3 , work has been performed using polymeric piezoelectrics. This section details some of the published work to date. Examples of some of the devices produced in different industrial sectors are described along with some of the aspects of modelling of these devices. 4.1 PZT incorporated into MEMS Devices The majority of work into piezoelectric MEMS devices has focussed on PZT, to provide small-scale actuation or sensing. PZT has already been extensively used in areas such as ultrasound and in nanoscience (for example actuators for atomic force microscopy). An overview of the issues of integrating PZT into MEMS devices has been reported, which gives figures of merit for various applications [9]. Several MEMS devices have been developed for a wide range of applications. MEMS accelerometers based on cantilever beams and PZT have been demonstrated [10]. There has also been some discussion of the use of ferroelectric thin films as part of MEMS sensors in infrared detectors and MEMS actuators for use in optical and acoustic devices [11]. Piezoelectric MEMS actuators may provide high force output at low driving voltages, but applications may be limited due to small strains involved. This has led to the idea of a strain amplifier using large-scale micro-fabrication techniques [12]. Using PZT as a compliant mechanism gives the required amplification at the expense of some piezoelectric force, but which is still desirable. Another area of interest in actuation is the production of nanometre steps over a range of hundreds of microns, which may be used for precision positioning of optical components or microsurgical instruments [13]. length width Actuation electrodes Switching contacts MEMS cantilever MEMS fabrication (texture and stresses)

photo steps. The cantilever structure is released by an isotropic XeF 2 vapor etch step, which avoids stiction. 2. DESIGN AND FABRICATION 2.1 Design Figure 1 shows the device schematic of the d 33 mode piezoelectric device. The basic design of the multilayer structure is as follows: Layer 1: Membrane layer (SiO 2 ) for controlling stress and bow of the cantilever structure; Layer 2: Diffusion barrier/buffer layer (ZrO 2 ) for preventing electrical charge diffusion from the piezoelectric layer above it; Layer 3: PZT piezoelectric layer; Layer 4: Top interdigitated electrode (Pt/Ti). Layer 5: Optional SU-8 Proof Mass. The mechanical resonance frequency of the cantilever can be tuned by altering the cantilever dimensions (i.e. layer thicknesses, length of the beam and the inclusion of a proof mass, if necessary). This affects the k stiffness of the composite beam. The resonance frequency can be approximated by calculating the composite beam stiffnes, K, the value of the lumped mass, M (A proof mass was included in our experimental device.) and using the standard formula for the resonance frequency, ! n : M K n !

B M Q Q n " % ! ! and 2 1 where (5) The Q of the system can be found by taking the ratio of the tip displacement at resonance over the tip displacement far outside the resonance. For the actuation mode the Q turns out to be approximately 47. t is expected to be higher for the sensor mode. The rectification bridge circuit consists of four STMicroelectronics& 1N5711 small signal Schottky diodes and a 10 nF mylar storage capacitor. These diodes were chosen specifically because, compared to most discreet components, they have the smallest forward voltage drop (approximately 0.2V). This allows for the largest possible DC voltage to develop across the cap/load. The 10 nF mylar cap was chosen because it does not leak currently easily. The resistors are also discreet components. 2.2 Fabrication We fabricated a d 33 mode, thin film PZT cantilever device with DT electrode using just three photo masks. First, the membrane layer (PECVD oxide) is deposited on the Si wafer. Each PECVD oxide layer is annealed at 750C for 30 minutes. The 50 nm thick ZrO 2 layer is deposited via a sol-gel spin-on process. t acts as a buffer layer on top of the various membrane layers and is dried at 350C for 1 minute, then annealed at 700C for 15 minutes. Our device uses 0.05'm ZrO 2 /0.4'm PECVD oxide. The PZT solution is spun on the substrate at 500 rpm for 3 seconds and 1500 rpm for 30 seconds. The precursor gel film is pyrolyzed at 350C for 5 minutes on a hot plate in several repeated cycles to create a PZT layer with 0.48 um thickness. The PZT film is annealed at 700C for 15 minutes in a box furnace. The PZT layer and membrane layers are patterned via RE with the first mask. The interdigitated top electrode requires the second mask and is deposited using an e-beam evaporation and lift-off procedure with 20nm Ti and 200nm Pt. The SU-8 is spin coated on top of the existing layers and patterned with the third mask to create the proof mass. The cantilever membrane is then released with the XeF 2 vapor etcher. No mask is required because XeF 2 has a high etch selectivity between Si and the other layers. An SEM image of the fabricated PMPG device is shown in Figure 3.
