Abstract
A piezoelectric transistor including a substrate, such as a semiconductor substrate. The substrate may include a cavity and the cavity may be etched downward. A piezoelectric transistor may include piezoelectric material formed over the semiconductor substrate in a cantilever form, and may be elastically strained up and/or down. A piezoelectric transistor may include metal material electrically connected to the piezoelectric material by the piezoelectric effect, and metal wiring may supply voltage to piezoelectric material. Methods of fabricating the same are disclosed.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a substrate;
- a piezoelectric material formed over the substrate;
