Piezoelectricity is a growing area of energy generation within micro-electronics, whereelectricity is generated at no cost from stress, strain, movement and vibrations. The market forpiezoelectric devices is highly diverse but traditionally, target applications have relativelyhigh power consumption, and piezoelectric devices have only been able to produce smallpower outputs which have limited their potential.However, as technology advances many applications now require far less power to operate,thus making piezoelectricity a feasible method of powering micro-scale electronics or LEDsetc. Combined with the stronger focus of industry to create energy efficient and ecosustainableproducts that consume/use less power this is resulting in a paradigm shift allowingpiezoelectric technology to become a far more valuable solution in the coming years.Traditional piezoelectric devices use a Lead zirconate titanate composite material (PZT) togenerate energy which is smooth and flat. Electricity is created when mechanical oscillations(i.e. small crystals rubbing together) occur during vibrational movement - the power of whichis dependent on its size and structure for a given application. However one of thedisadvantages of using PZT in its traditional form is that the output power is typicallyrelatively low.

在微电子中，压电是一个日益增长的能量产生领域，电力是由应力、应变、运动和振动产生的，不需要任何成本。压电器件的市场是高度多样化的，但传统上，目标应用的功耗相对较高，而且压电器件只能产生小功率输出，这限制了它们的潜力。然而，随着技术的进步，许多应用现在需要的功率要少得多，因此使压电成为为微电子或LED集供电的可行方法。再加上工业界更加关注生产耗能更少、可生态可持续的产品，这导致了一种范式的转变，使压电技术在未来几年成为一种更有价值的解决方案。传统的压电器件使用锆钛酸铅复合材料(PZT)来产生平滑而平坦的能量。在振动运动过程中发生机械振荡(即小晶体摩擦在一起)时产生电力，其功率取决于给定应用的大小和结构。然而，使用传统形式的PZT的缺点之一是输出功率通常相对较低。
