Abstract

Recently, there is a growing interest in piezoelectric layers and their application in micro – electro – mechanical systems (MEMS). MEMS containing piezoelectric layers are simple in build and easy to control. This paper focuses on application of two piezoelectric layers: AlN and (Sc) scandium doped AlN. Simulation results, measurements results, methodology of estimation piezoelectric parameters together with estimated values for both types of AlN layers are presented in this article.
