Ferroelectrets are internally charged cellular polymers with engineered macroscopic dipoles formed on the internal surfaces of the voids. The strong piezoelectricity of ferroelectrets results in large external electric fields when the mechanical stress acting on the ferroelectret changes. The generated electric field can be used to alter the conductance of the source-drain channel of thin film field-effect transistors (ferroelectret-field effect transistor). We have prepared flexible ferroelectret field-effect switches made of cellular polypropylene films and amorphous silicon thin film transistors. Single element piezoelectric switches, pressure sensors and microphones are demonstrated, which may easily be scaled up to large area, flexible transducer arrays.
