Piezoelectric valve module, method for manufacturing the valve module, method for operating the valve module, and respiratory aid device including one or more of the valve modules
Abstract:
A valve module includes a semiconductor body, cavities in the semiconductor body separated from each other by a distance, a cantilever structure suspended over each cavity to enable at least partial closing of the cavity, and a piezoelectric actuator for each cantilever structure. The piezoelectric actuator is configured for use to cause a positive bending of the respective cantilever structure and so modulate a rate of air flow through the valve module.
