Abstract: A method of making an acoustic sensor (e.g., a piezoelectric sensor for a piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems microphone) includes forming or depositing one or more piezoelectric layers to define a beam extending between a proximal portion and a distal tip (e.g., unsupported free end), the beam having a width in plan view that is greater at a location distal of the proximal portion than at the proximal portion. The method also comprises attaching the beam to a substrate in cantilever form so that the proximal portion of the beam is anchored to the substrate and the distal tip is a free unsupported end of the beam. One or more electrodes are disposed on or in the proximal portion of the beam.

Abstract: A piezoelectric microelectromechanical system microphone comprises a piezoelectric element configured to deform and generate an electrical potential responsive to impingement of sound waves on the piezoelectric element, a sensing electrode disposed on the piezoelectric element and configured to sense the electrical potential, and a dummy electrode electrically unconnected to the sensing electrode and disposed on a portion of the piezoelectric element that is free of the sensing electrode, the dummy electrode configured to reduce static deformation of the piezoelectric element caused by residual stresses in the piezoelectric element.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical system microphone includes a piezoelectric diaphragm, upper inner electrodes and upper outer electrodes disposed on an upper surface of the diaphragm, and lower inner electrodes and lower outer electrodes disposed on a lower surface of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is divided into a plurality of sectors, a first of the sectors including an inner and an outer upper electrode physically disconnected from an inner and an outer upper electrode on a second sector adjacent to the first sector, and an inner and an outer lower electrode physically disconnected from an inner and an outer lower electrode on the second sector. A first via extends between and electrically couples the upper and lower inner electrodes of the first sector and a first bond pad. A second via extends between and electrically couples the upper and lower outer electrodes of the second sector and a second bond pad.

Abstract: A method of making a piezoelectric sensor includes forming piezoelectric layer(s) to define a beam extending between a proximal portion and a distal end. The method also includes modeling a strain distribution on the beam based on a force applied to the beam, and defining an outer boundary with a shape substantially corresponding to a contour line of the strain distribution on the beam. The method also includes forming an electrode having said outer boundary shape, and attaching the electrode to the beam. The method also includes attaching the beam to a substrate in cantilever form so that the proximal portion of the beam is anchored to the substrate and the distal end of the beam is unsupported.
