Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for forming a piezoelectric device including a piezoelectric membrane and a plurality of conductive layers. The method includes forming the plurality of conductive layers in the piezoelectric membrane, the plurality of conductive layers are vertically offset one another. A masking layer is formed over the piezoelectric membrane. An etch process is performed according to the masking layer to concurrently expose an upper surface of each conductive layer in the plurality of conductive layers. A plurality of conductive vias are formed over the upper surface of the plurality of conductive layers.
