Abstract

A process for fabricating piezoelectric elements each having a wrap-around electrode to be used in a differential actuator design where electrical connection is made to the bottom electrode of the element from the top surface of the element. The wrap-around electrode is formed during the creation of the elements instead of on an element by element basis.
