Abstract

This paper reports the characteristics of piezoelectric microspeakers that are audible in open air with high quality piezoelectric AlN thin film according to the materials properties. When we use a tensile-stressed silicon nitride diaphragm as a supporting layer, the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) is relatively small. However, the SPL of the fabricated microspeakers that have compressive-stressed composite diaphragm show higher output pressure than those of tensile-stressed diaphragm. It produces more than 60dB from 100Hz to 15kHz and the highest SPL is about 100dB at 9.3kHz with 20 Vpeak-to-peak sinusoidal input biases and at 10 mm distances from the fabricated microspeakers to the reference microphone.
