Abstract
For the first time, it is experimentally validated that the output voltage from series-connected piezoelectric elements on MEMS structure can be multiplied without degradation. The output voltage has been degraded for conventional devices (piezoelectric voltage-output sensors) based on the series-connected piezoelectric elements because of parasitic capacitances. The elimination of the parasitic capacitance by using not Si but polymer for structural material achieves output voltage multiplication.
