Abstract

The invention provides a MEMS speaker including a substrate enclosing a cavity, a cantilever beam at least partially suspended above the cavity, a piezoelectric actuator away from the cavity, a polymer layer away from the cavity and attached to the cantilever beam and the piezoelectric actuator for completely covering the cantilever beam, the piezoelectric actuator and the cavity, and a piezoelectric composite vibration structure formed by the polymer layer. The cantilever beam includes a first section fixed to the substrate, a second section extending from the first section to the cavity and suspended above the cavity, and a third section extending from the second section away from the first section, an end of the third section away from the second section being suspended; and the piezoelectric actuator is only fixed with the third section.
