The power outputs of MEMS Generators are also steadily improved year by year. The major power IC vendors are now evaluating the possibility to develop generator IC products for generating and supplying power to the application circuits. However, from the forecast based on the current improvement paces, it is expected to meet the targeting performance for another decade. In this project, the research team will continually improve the overall performance of MEMS generators by improving the piezoelectric thin film material and the processing of the devices, and try to improve the power density of MEMS generators to 1mW/cm3/g2¬, which is considering the first targeting power density level for typical application requirements. In the other end, the active switching interfacing circuits has been proved to improve the piezoelectric energy harvesting transducer output power 2 to 4 folds, but it is hardly to apply to MEMS generators because of too low voltage and power level. In this project, we will try to introduce the synchronous switching and soft switching techniques for integrating the active switching interfacing circuit to MEMS generator and improving the overall output power. In the generic application scenario, typically the power generated is stored for a long period and the application circuit and sensors are then turned on for a short period. The temporarily energy store circuit is thus important for this kind of power management condition. In this project, we will also improve the active switching capacitor charging circuit developed before for interfacing with the low-voltage and low-power-level conditions of MEMS generators.微機電壓電材料氣膠沉積法懸臂樑能量擷取MEMSpiezoelectric materialaerosol depositioncantilever beampower harvesting學術研究生涯發展計畫-桂冠型研究計畫【應用同步切換電路系統之高效率微型壓電能源擷取裝置設計與製作】
