The working principle of this electric field microsensor is demonstrated, and the induced charges and structural parameters of this microsensor are simulated by the finite element method. The electric field microsensor was fabricated by Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems(MEMS) technique. Each cantilever is a multilayer compound structure(Al/Si3N4/ Pt/PZT/Pt/ Ti/SiO 2/Si), and Piezoelectric, PieZ oelectric ceramic Transducer(PZT)(PbZ rxTi(1–x)O3) layer, prepared by sol-gel method, is used as the piezoelectric material to drive the cantilevers vibrating. This electric field microsensor was tested under the DC electric field with the field intensity from 0 to 5×104 V/m. The output voltage signal of the electric field microsensor has a good linear relationship to the intensity of applied electric field. The performance could be improved with the optimized design of structure, and reformative fabrication processes of PZT material.展开更多
