¤ About project The project proposes to develop a new piezoelectric harvester based on micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) devices and piezoelectric material fabrication, thin film deposition and patterning, together with storage module and power circuitry. It focuses on small-scale power energy harvesting techniques (1-100µW) using MEMS/thin-film approach for autonomous operation of portable or embedded micro devices and systems.
