Application: Flexible-piezoelectric sensors made with thin ribbon ceramics and transition metal dichalcogenides (Patent ID: US20230337543A1)

The patent filed by Corning Inc. describes a sensor comprising a ceramic substrate with a thickness ranging from 10 µm to 200 µm, a piezoelectric layer with a thickness of 10 µm or less, and at least one electrical contact. The piezoelectric layer can be made of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials such as MoS2 or WS2, and the ceramic substrate can be made of materials like silica, zirconia, or alumina. The sensor can be used in wearable devices and is manufactured by sputtering the piezoelectric layer onto the ceramic substrate and heat treating it at a specific temperature range.

The sensor's design allows for flexibility and durability, making it suitable for wearable devices. The use of TMD materials in the piezoelectric layer enhances the sensor's performance, and the method of manufacturing involves precise steps like sputtering and heat treatment to ensure quality. The sensor's compatibility with different ceramic materials and the option to laminate it with polymer layers further enhance its versatility and potential applications in various industries.
