I am after some information on the limitations of piezoelectric ceramics. Specifically, is there a lower limit to the thickness of a piezo-sliver (in terms of what is practical to manufacture). Thanks in advance. Steve. -- Steve Lechowicz, Research Officer (stvl@bhpcpd.kembla.oz.au) BHP Coated Products Division, Research and Technology Centre Port Kembla, New South Wales, Australia. [The smallest structures I know of that are fabricated for use as piezo devices are the stalks in Nova Sensor's micro accelerometers, which are on the order of microns. These are silicon rather than ceramic, though. I have a suspicion the real answer is, "How much do you want to pay?" --JoSH]
