A piezoelectric transducer includes an anchorage and a beam of semiconductor material extending in cantilever fashion from the anchorage in a main direction parallel to a first axis and having a face parallel to a first plane defined by the first axis and by a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. A piezoelectric layer is on the face of the beam. A cross-section of the beam is perpendicular to the first axis and is asymmetrical and shaped so the beam deformations out of the first plane in response to forces applied to the anchorage and oriented parallel to the first axis.
