Abstract:Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (cMUT) have emerged as an alternative technology to piezoelectric transducers. The paper presents characterization measurements of several membranes with different geometries and materials, aimed at an optimization of the membrane configuration for different applications. In parallel, suitable testing and readout electronics have been developed. We report electro-mechanical measurements and in-air uncoupled testing of devices fabricated in a dedicated process, ap… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
