Abstract
A piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) microphone is provided comprising a substrate including walls defining a cavity and at least one of the walls defining an anchor region, a piezoelectric film layer supported by the substrate at the anchor region such that the piezoelectric film layer is cantilevered, the piezoelectric film layer being formed to introduce differential stress between a front surface of the piezoelectric film layer oriented away from the cavity and a back surface of the piezoelectric film layer oriented towards the cavity such that the piezoelectric film layer is bent into the cavity, and an electrode disposed over the piezoelectric film layer and adjacent the anchor region. A method of manufacturing such a MEMS microphone is also provided.
