Aluminum Nitride Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasound Transducer Arrays
Air-coupled piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducer arrays, operating at ~190 kHz, have been fabricated utilizing an aluminum nitride piezoelectric layer. Improved fabrication processes have reduced the frequency variation seen in our previous work with single transducers resulting in arrays of transducers with resonant frequencies (fn) that match within the fractional half-power band...
متن کاملDesign of Piezoelectric Aluminum Nitride MEMS Resonator
The following work reports the design, numerical, analytical and simulation characterization of an Aluminum Nitride MEMS resonator. The paper offers a comparison of rectangular plate MEMS resonator (length extensional and width extensional mode shapes) and ring shape MEMS resonator. It also demonstrates the contour Eigen modes of resonators and their equivalent electric circuit model (BVD). Fur...
متن کاملTwo-Port Stacked Piezoelectric Aluminum Nitride Contour-Mode Resonant MEMS
This paper reports on design, fabrication and experimental testing of a new class of two-port stacked piezoelectric aluminum nitride contour-mode micromechanical resonators that can be used for RF filtering and timing applications. This novel design consists of two layers of thin film AlN stacked on top of each other and excited in contour mode shapes using the d31 piezoelectric coefficient. Ma...
متن کاملIntegrated Aluminum Nitride Piezoelectric Microelectromechanical System for Radio Front Ends
This article summarizes the most recent technological developments in the realization of integrated aluminum nitride (AlN) piezoelectric microelectromechanical system (MEMS) for radio frequency (rf) front ends to be employed in next generation wireless communication devices. The AlN-based resonator and switch technologies are presented, their principle of operation explained, and some key exper...
متن کاملMagnetostrictive Actuators Compared to Piezoelectric Actuators
Magnetostriction occurs in the most ferromagnetic materials and leads to many effects [1,2]. The most useful one to refer to is the Joule effect. It is responsible for the expansion (positive magnetostriction) or the contraction (negative) of a rod subjected to a longitudinal static magnetic field. In a given material, this magnetostrain is quadratic and occurs always in the same direction what...
