New technique for fabrication of high frequency piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers
2008
A novel technique for fabrication of linear arrays of high frequency piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers (pMUT) on silicon substrates is presented. Piezoelectric elements are formed by deposition of PZT ((PbZr x Ti 1-x )O 3 ) into etched features of the silicon substrate such that the depth of these features determine the element thickness and hence the resonance frequency. The process leaves a near planar surface which is ideal for further wafer level processing such as top electrode and interconnect formation. A fabricated single element is characterized by pulse echo response.
