Ultra-precision grinding of piezoelectric ceramic thick films for fabrication of pre-stressed bimorph microactuators and development of new numerical models to assess induced thermal stress in multilayer structure

The research programme aims to develop a novel 2.5 dimensional fabrication process for multilayer piezoelectric microactuators. Ultra-precision grinding was used in conjunction with standard micro-fabrication techniques and adhesive bonding technology to create a powerful bimorph structure. The mult...
