Thin structures having a piezoelectric effect, devices equipped with such structures and in their methods of manufacture

摘要

A leaf of suitable dielectrical material bears, trapped on one at least of its two surfaces, equal or substantially equal amounts of positive and negative electrostatic charges, these charges being preferably injected into the leaf by successive ionization in reverse directions of gaseous layers against said surface. The device is valuable in piezoelectric or pyroelectric devices such as ultrasonic transducers, pressure or vibration detectors, microphones, heat or infrared radiation detectors.
