Abstract
In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a piezomicroelectromechanical system (piezoMEMS) device that includes a second piezoelectric layer arranged over the first electrode layer. A second electrode layer is arranged over the second piezoelectric layer. A first contact is arranged over and extends through the second electrode layer and the second piezoelectric layer to contact the first electrode layer. A dielectric liner layer is arranged directly between the first contact and inner sidewalls of the second electrode layer and the second piezoelectric layer. A second contact is arranged over and electrically coupled to the second electrode layer, wherein the second contact is electrically isolated from the first contact.
