The Performance Study of a Novel ZnO Flexible Piezoelectric Sensor Array
摘要
Flexible pressure sensors are gaining attention for wearable medical monitoring devices due to their excellent conformability to human skin. This study introduces a novel piezoelectric structure, formed by depositing multilayer sensing layers on a flexible substrate via magnetron sputtering. Multiple piezoelectric units are connected in parallel to create a flexible sensor array. Experimental and finite element simulations show that both the multilayer series configuration and parallel connection enhance voltage output, with the series configuration yielding a more significant improvement. Additionally, the time constant decreases significantly as the number of layers in the series configuration increases.
