1. Introduction MEMS-based energy harvesting devices for low-power applications use micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology to generate electrical power from various ambient energy sources such as thermal, mechanical, or electromagnetic.
The most popular MEMS energy harvesters are based on lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films. The first studies on MEMS harvester based on PZT thin film were reported by Jeon et al. .
Overall, it can be seen that applying soft material with a compatible fabrication process contributes to the ultralow frequency response, which drives MEMS energy harvesters forward for applications in real environments. However, the output power of this energy harvester is still relatively low.
The fabricated MEMS energy harvester exhibited two mode frequencies at 3 and 23 Hz, demonstrating dynamic responses in the ultralow frequency range. The impedance characterization test showed that the device with four beams generates 60 mV, 0.52 nW @ 3 Hz and 7 mV, 9.2 pW @ 23 Hz, corresponding to an NPD of 1.73 μW/cm 3 /g 2 @ 3 Hz.
Table 2 provides a detailed performance comparison with other reported MEMS energy harvesters. Generally, most reported MEMS energy harvesters have resonant frequencies above 30 Hz, and the proposed energy harvester shows a very prominent advantage of operating in the ultralow frequency range.
Therefore, enhancing the ability to resonate in the lower and wider frequency range is a critical issue for MEMS energy harvesters. The majority of reported MEMS energy harvesters utilize silicon springs with resonant frequencies of hundreds of Hz.
