Impact Analysis of Variation in Geometrical Features on Intrinsic Characteristics of Capacitive Micro-machined Ultrasonic Transducers
Authors
Abstract:
Capacitive Micro-machined Ultrasonic Transducers (CMUTs) are the ultrasonic devices which produce better features in contrast to piezoelectric transducers. The intrinsic parameter of CMUT varies with the variation in geometrical dimension of the device. The cavity height and the radius of the CMUT with circular membrane is varied in the lumped parallel plate model for its impact on the parameters. In this paper, analytical model of circular CMUTs is developed and analyzed by using the parallel-plate capacitor equations. The impact of geometrical changes has been discussed with the parametric analysis of deflection, capacitance, pull in voltage and pressure. The results discussed here will be more helpful in deciding the miniaturization limit of the CMUT prior to fabrication.

Two Capacitive Micro-Machined Ultrasonic Transducers for Wind Speed Measurement
This paper presents a new wind speed measurement method using a single capacitive micro-machined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT). The CMUT was arranged perpendicular to the direction of the wind flow, and a reflector was set up a short distance away, facing the CMUT. To reduce the size, weight, cost, and power consumption of conventional ultrasonic anemometers this study proposes two CMUT designs ...

The Microfabrication of Capacitive Ultrasonic Transducers
Surface-micromachined capacitive ultrasonic transducers, which are suitable for operation in both air and water, have been fabricated and tested. Amorphous silicon is used as a sacrificial layer because of its good etching selectivity versus a nitride membrane, and improved cell-size control is obtained by lithographic definition of cavity walls. In addition, appropriate feature designs based o...

Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers ~CMUTs!, introduced about a decade ago, have been shown to be a good alternative to conventional piezoelectric transducers in various aspects, such as sensitivity, transduction efficiency, and bandwidth. In this paper, we discuss the principles of capacitive transducer operation that underlie these aspects. Many of the key features of capacitive u...
