Abstract
A piezoelectric transistor includes an input terminal, a piezoresistive element, an output terminal, an insulator, a control terminal, and a piezoelectric actuator. The piezoresistive element is electrically positioned between the input terminal and the output terminal. The insulator is positioned between the piezoresistive element and the piezoelectric actuator. The insulator electrically insulates the output terminal from the control terminal. The control terminal is configured to control activation of a piezoelectric actuator.
