The active piezo-layer consists of vertical ZnO nanowires (NWs) embedded into dielectric fillers of different composition. The voltage over a known resistance was measured with an automatic bending setup, and the corresponding power was computed and compared to numerical simulations as a function of load resistance and dielectric matrix in the composite structure. FEM simulations show that the output power can be higher than conventional thin-film devices. These results confirm previous findings and provide important guidelines to optimize flexible piezoelectric transducers for applications as sensors and generators for the Internet of Things. Comparison with a commercial thick-film piezoelectric energy harvester was also made experimentally.","PeriodicalId":383788,"journal":{"name":"2018 Joint International EUROSOI Workshop and International Conference on Ultimate Integration on Silicon (EUROSOI-ULIS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126211071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extracted trap density (Nt) in the HFET with shorter gate length was noticeably less than that in the HFET with longer length.
