Notes:
We describe a novel bimorph-type piezoelectric transducer which achieves three-dimensional positioning in a 70 μm ×70 μm ×10 μm volume with applied voltage ranges less than 100 V. This transducer, appropriately shaped and with appropriately patterned electrodes, has been tested by using it as a scanner in a scanning tunneling microscope. Results obtained in this application of the actuator are presented, including characterization of performance.
