In this study, we developed an acoustic sensor with a structure in which a piezoelectric cantilever array is covered with an organic film. For this, we used AlN and polyurethane as the piezoelectric material and organic film, respectively. The results suggested that the sensitivity in the low-frequency region improved, and the resonance frequency increased. We investigated the resonance frequency based on a simulation and verified that it matched the measured value. Further, we created a broadband acoustic sensor by covering the space between the cantilevers with an organic film.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
