AB - In this study, we present two configurations of piezo-actuated microspeakers, which were fabricated by combining a self-developed aerosol deposition method with the metal MEMS microfabrication process. The stainless steel used was structurally designed to enhance the displacement amplitude of the speaker, which is related to its sound pressure level. The two packaged speakers were measured using the IEC 60318-4 standard. The package around the speaker contains a printed circuit board with the dimensions in 20.0 mm × 13.0 mm × 3.0 mm. In an enclosed field test, the bimorph single-layer (BSL) configuration reached sound levels of 98.4 dB and 92.4 dB using driving voltages of 30 Vpp and 15 Vpp at 1 kHz, respectively; however, the bimorph multi-layer (BML) configuration reached higher levels of 108.2 dB and 102.2 dB under the same conditions.
