Abstract

Embodiments of the invention include a piezoelectric package integrated jet device. In one example, the jet device includes a vibrating membrane positioned between first and second cavities of an organic substrate, a piezoelectric material coupled to the vibrating membrane which acts as a first electrode, and a second electrode in contact with the piezoelectric material. The vibrating membrane generates fluid flow through an orifice in response to application of an electrical signal between the first and second electrodes.
