Summary
We develope ZnO:Li as lead-free piezoelectric materialssuccessfully develop lead-free piezoelectric MEMS accelerometers through MEMS process technology. Since the input signal of the SAR ADC is voltage, Therefore, the charge generated by the accelerometer must be converted into a voltage signal. The method adopted is to convert the current through the resistor into a voltage signal by using t
Scientific Breakthrough
The lead-free piezoelectric material ZnO:Li(LZO) developed by our team has a piezoelectric characteristic d33 = 22.85 pm/V, which is the world's leading value. The contribution of present work is to designmanufacture of lead-free piezoelectric accelerometers with wide frequencyhigh sensitivity for unmanned vehiclessmart machine applications.
