Piezoelectric MEMS

Piezoelectric MEMS are tiny devices that use the piezoelectric effect—where certain materials generate an electric charge when physically deformed—to sense, generate, or control mechanical movements at a microscale. These sensors and actuators are made with micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, enabling precise, small-scale functions in applications like medical diagnostics, sensors, and communication devices. They convert mechanical energy into electrical signals and vice versa, allowing for highly sensitive detection and accurate actuation in compact, integrated systems.
