    摘要: Microelectromechanical systems with structures having piezoelectric actuators are described. The structures each have a body that supports piezoelectric islands. The piezoelectric islands have a first surface and a second opposite surface. The piezoelectric islands can be formed, in part, by forming cuts into a thick layer of piezoelectric material, attaching the cut piezoelectric layer to a body having etched features and grinding the piezoelectric layer to a thickness that is less than the depths of the cuts. Conductive material can be formed on the piezoelectric layer to form electrodes.

    摘要: A voltage is applied to an electrode positioned in contact with a piezoelectric layer, the electrode having a surface area. A deflection of the piezoelectric layer is measured in response to the applied voltage. The surface area of the electrode is reduced based at least in part on the measured deflection. Reducing the surface area of the electrode reduces the actuated area of the piezoelectric layer.
