Abstract:
Devices and methods described herein provide electrode pair access from a single side of a device by using one or more via holes through the device. The via hole can pass through or near the center of the device. By creating a conductive path through the via hole of the device, devices and methods of the present disclosure advantageously provide access to a pair of electrodes, each of which contacts a different side of a device layer, on a single side of the device while enabling a greater active device area than is possible using conventional techniques. In addition, the central location of the via hole provides favorable mechanical properties by avoiding radial constriction of the device layers in applications such as piezoelectric devices.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of producing an electrical device having one or more electrical via holes providing electrode pair access on a single side of the device, comprising:\n receiving a device layer; forming a via hole through the device layer; disposing a bottom electrode on at least a portion of a bottom surface of the device layer; disposing a conductive sidewall on an inner diameter of the via hole disposing a pad electrode on a top surface of the device layer, the pad electrode in electrical contact with the bottom electrode through the conductive sidewall; and disposing a top electrode on at least a portion of the top surface of the device layer, the top electrode separated from the bottom electrode by an insulating gap.
