Abstract: The present invention discloses a linear-edged 3D solid or hollow microneedle or microknife. A tip edge of the microneedle or microknife is a linear edge parallel to a group of (111) oriented facets of monocrystalline silicon. The linear edge extends along a straight or curved line and has a narrow width. An opening is formed on one or each side adjoining the linear tip edge, or is formed at the middle of the linear tip edge. The opening is communicated with a channel formed from the bottom surface of the microneedle or microknife, so as to form a through hole from the tip to the bottom of the microneedle or microknife. The triangular channel has six side walls of (111) oriented facets. The microneedle or microknife is used for transdermal drug delivery, body fluid withdrawing or the like. Methods for producing a microneedle or microknife are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a piezoelectric micro acoustic sensor based on ferroelectric materials. In one embodiment, more than one electrode pairs are provided within at least one of the central portion and the peripheral portion of a ferroelectric film of the sensor, a polarizing voltage is applied to each electrode pair so that regions of the ferroelectric film between each electrode pair is polarized along the thickness direction, and in a same stress state portion of the film regions of the ferroelectric film between neighboring electrode pairs are polarized in opposite directions, hence the neighboring electrode pairs within the same stress state portion have opposite voltages when the ferroelectric film vibrates. In one embodiment, all of the electrode pairs are connected in series, so that the output voltage of thus connected electrode pairs equals to the sum of voltages of each single pair. Therefore the voltage sensitivity of the piezoelectric micro acoustic sensor is improved significantly.
