초록 ▼

A multi-layer piezoelectric microactuator assembly has at least one poled and active piezoelectric layer and one poled but inactive piezoelectric layer. The poled but inactive layer acts as a constraining layer in resisting expansion or contract of the first piezoelectric layer thereby reducing or eliminating bending of the assembly as installed in an environment, thereby increasing the effective stroke length of the assembly. Poling only a single layer would induce stresses into the device; hence, polling both piezoelectric layers even though only one layer will be active in use reduces stresses in the device and therefore increases reliability.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A multi-layer piezoelectric microactuator assembly comprising: a first piezoelectric layer and a second piezoelectric layer, each of the first and second piezoelectric layers comprising poled piezoelectric material, the first piezoelectric layer being closer to a surface to which the microactuator assembly is bonded than is the second piezoelectric layer;a first electrode on a bottom side of the first piezoelectric layer; anda second electrode on a top side of the first piezoelectric layer and disposed underneath the second piezoelectric layer, such that a first voltage differential applied across the first and second electrodes induces an electric field across the first piezoelectric layer;wherein: the first electrode is operatively connected to a first voltage and the second electrode is operatively connected to a second voltage different from the first voltage thereby defining a first voltage differential applied across the first piezoelectric layer, the first voltage differential inducing a first electric field across the first piezoelectric layer causing the first piezoelectric layer to expand or contract; andsubstantially no voltage differential is applied across the second piezoelectric layer;whereby:the second piezoelectric layer is a substantially inactive piezoelectric layer and acts as a constraining layer to resist expansion or contraction of the first piezoelectric layer; andan overall expansion of contraction of the microactuator assembly is made to be greater in response to the first voltage differential being applied across the first piezoelectric layer than if the second piezoelectric layer were not present. 2. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 further comprising: a third electrode extending over the second piezoelectric layer such that the second piezoelectric layer is disposed between the second and third electrodes; andthe third electrode is a floating electrode. 3. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 wherein: the first and second piezoelectric layers have equal thicknesses; andthe first and second piezoelectric layers were poled using equal strength electric fields. 4. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 wherein: the first and second piezoelectric layers have thicknesses that differ by less than 10%; andthe first and second piezoelectric layers were poled using respective electric field strengths that differed by less than 10%. 5. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 wherein: the first and second piezoelectric layers have thicknesses that differ by less than 25%; andthe first and second piezoelectric layers were poled using respective electric field strengths that differed by less than 25%. 6. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 wherein: the first and second piezoelectric layers have different thicknesses; andthe first and second piezoelectric layers were poled using different voltage differentials applied respectively across them. 7. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 wherein the second piezoelectric layer has a second electric field applied across it that is less than 10% of the first electric field applied across the first piezoelectric layer. 8. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 wherein the second piezoelectric layer has a second electric field applied across it that is less than 25% of the first electric field applied across the first piezoelectric layer. 9. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 wherein the first and second piezoelectric layers were poled such that, for an equal strength magnitude electric field applied across both piezoelectric layers, the second piezoelectric layer expands or contracts to within 10% of a simultaneous expansion or contraction of the first piezoelectric layer. 10. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 wherein the first and second piezoelectric layers were poled such that, for an equal magnitude electric field applied across both piezoelectric layers, the second piezoelectric layer expands or contracts to within 25% of a simultaneous expansion or contraction of the first piezoelectric layer. 11. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 wherein the first and second piezoelectric layers were simultaneously poled using a single electric field that was applied across both of said first and second piezoelectric layers. 12. The microactuator assembly of claim 1 further comprising a third piezoelectric layer disposed between the first and second piezoelectric layers, said third piezoelectric layer being a poled and active piezoelectric layer. 13. A multi-layer piezoelectric microactuator assembly comprising: a first electrode;a first poled piezoelectric layer over the first electrode;a second electrode over the first poled piezoelectric layer;a second poled piezoelectric layer over the second electrode;a third electrode over the second poled piezoelectric layer;wherein:the first and second electrodes are electrically accessible from a bottom of the assembly; andthe third electrode is not electrically accessible from the bottom of the assembly, wherein: each of the first and second electrodes is connected to one of a driving voltage and ground, and the third electrode is not connected to either a driving voltage or a ground. 14. The microactuator assembly of claim 13 wherein the third electrode is electrically connected to the second electrode whereby no electric field exists between the second and third electrodes. 15. A method of using the microactuator assembly of claim 13 comprising inducing an electric field across the first piezoelectric layer whereby the first piezoelectric layer is a poled and active piezoelectric layer, and not inducing an electric field across the second piezoelectric layer whereby the second piezoelectric layer is a poled but inactive piezoelectric layer which tends to resist expansion or contraction of the first piezoelectric layer. 16. The microactuator assembly of claim 13 wherein the first and second piezoelectric layers have equal thicknesses and were poled to equal degrees. 17. The microactuator assembly of claim 13 wherein the first and second piezoelectric layers have substantially equal thicknesses and were poled to substantially equal degrees. 18. The microactuator assembly of claim 13 wherein the first and second piezoelectric layers were simultaneously poled using a single poling voltage differential that was applied across the first and third electrodes.
