Integration of piezoelectric thin films in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS-PIE)

Objective

The MEMS-Pie project will develop reliable technology and qualified procedures for integration of piezoelectric thin films into micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) on an industrial scale. The results will increase the competitiveness of European SMEs engaged in the MEMS market. Many small companies have innovative ideas for new types of sensors and actuators based on silicon technology with integrated piezoelectric functional elements. Examples of such devices are: ultrasonic imaging transducers, pressure and flow sensors, accelerometers, micromotors and micropumps. Reliable technology for integration of piezoelectric thin films is a key tool to realise these new products. However, current knowledge in the field is mostly limited to the conditions and scale of academic laboratories, and knowledge on reliability and reproducibility of the films and methods at industrial level is scarce.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
