21am2-A8 Transfer process of piezoelectric thin films onto PDMS substrate by using wet etching

Abstract

This paper reports a simple and high-productive fabrication method of flexible piezoelectric substrate. To realize low-cost fabrication method, we developed a novel transfer technique of piezoelectric thin films onto PDMS substrate based on metal wet etching process. We experimentally clarified that transferred Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thin films by using our developed method have piezoelectric property. This method might allow us to develop novel MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) devices such as wearable sensors and flexible energy harvesters at low-cost fabrication.
