For the realization of piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with multiple degrees-of-freedom, lead zirconate titanate thin films were deposited and micropatterned on the sidewalls of a pre-etched substrate with a feature depth of several hundred micrometers. The piezoelectric test structures, consisting of concave geometries and cantilevers with vertical and sloped sidewalls were successfully fabricated onto a 4 inch full sized wafer. Characterization of the fundamental properties of the lead zirconate titanate thin films indicated values comparable to those deposited on flat substrates. Actuation tests demonstrated that the triangular column cantilevers can be driven both in-plane and out-of-plane. The deposition of lead zironate titanate thin films onto a vertical sidewall created bimorph cantilevers composed of piezo/non-piezo/piezo structures in the horizontal direction. The use of microfabrication techniques to deposit lead zironate titanate thin films on pre-etched substrates gives MEMS actuators with multiple degrees-of-freedom and batch process compatibility.
