Abstract:
A MEMS piezoelectric device (20) has: a monolithic body (21) of semiconductor material, having a first main surface (21a) and a second main surface (21b), which are parallel to a horizontal plane (xy) formed by a first horizontal axis (x) and a second horizontal axis (y) and are opposite along a vertical axis (z); a housing cavity (22), arranged within the monolithic body (21); a membrane (23) suspended above the housing cavity (22), at the first main surface (21a) of the monolithic body; a piezoelectric material layer (30) arranged above a first surface (23a) of the membrane (23); an electrode arrangement (32), arranged in contact with the piezoelectric material layer (30); and a proof mass (24) coupled to a second surface (23b), opposite to the first surface (23a) along the vertical axis (z), of the membrane to cause deformation thereof in response to environmental mechanical vibrations. The proof mass is coupled to the membrane by a connection element (25) arranged, in a central position, between the membrane and the proof mass in the direction of the vertical axis (z).
