For single-crystal silicon the youngs modulus in different directions can vary
from 125 to 180GPa.
Randomly oriented polycrystalline silicon should have a Youngs modulus
between 163 and 166GPa.
The fracture strength depends on the flaws in the material.

Piezoelectric materials:
Quartz: but there are no available methods to deposit crystalline
quartz as a thin film over silicon substrates.
Piezoelectric ceramics: Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and barium titanate
(BaTiO3) but they are also difficult to deposit as thin films.
lead zirconate titanate (PZT)a ceramic based on solid solutions of
lead zirconate (PbZrO3) and lead titanate (PbTiO3)can be
deposited as thin film with.
Zinc oxide is typically sputtered and PZT can be either sputtered or
deposited in a sol-gel process
PVDF is a polymer that can be spun on.
These deposited films must be poled (i.e., polarized by heating above
the Curie temperature, then cooling with a large electric field across
them) in order to exhibit piezoelectric behavior.

The side effect is disruption of the
silicon lattice. The wafers are
annealed to diffuse the impurities and
re-crystallization purpose.
The wafer is again oxidised to close
