Abstract

Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) shows great promise in portable medical diagnostic systems and non-contact range finding owing to their miniature size, high acoustic impedance matching with human tissue, low power consumption, and easy integration with ICs. A highly transmitting and receiving PMUTs is developed in this study using Pb(Zr _0.5 Ti _0.5 )O ₃ as the piezoelectric layer, which is fabricated through a low-temperature and high-piezoelectricity Pb(Zr _0.5 Ti _0.5 )O ₃ thin film fabrication technique. The fabricated piezoelectric film features the lowest film-forming temperature

C) ever reported, excellent piezoelectric coefficient (15.5 C/m ² ), and lowe dielectric constant (750). Consequently, the developed PMUTs achieved a transmitting sensitivity of 4.72 kPa/V, −6 dB fractional bandwidth of 80.2 %, and high reception signal-to-noise ratio up to 37.3 and 18.9 dB, with and without any amplifier circuits, respectively. Thus, it demonstrated a higher comprehensive performance than previously reported PMUTs with the similar structure. The results of this study may accelerate the development of CMOS-compatible and high-performance PMUTs based on thin PZT film.

基于 Pb（Zr50Ti50）O3 的压电微机械超声波换能器实现高声波传输和接收

压电微机械超声换能器（PMUTs）具有体积小、与人体组织声阻抗匹配度高、功耗低、易于与集成电路集成等优点，在便携式医疗诊断系统和非接触式测距中大有可为。本研究使用 Pb（Zr0.5Ti0.5）O3 作为压电层，通过低温高压电性 Pb（Zr0.5Ti0.5）O3 薄膜制造技术，开发了一种高发射和接收 PMUT。所制备的压电薄膜具有迄今报道的最低成膜温度（480~^{/circ }$ C）、优异的压电系数（15.5 C/m2）和低介电常数（750）。因此，所开发的 PMUT 在使用和不使用任何放大电路的情况下，分别实现了 4.72 kPa/V 的发射灵敏度、80.2 % 的 -6 dB 分数带宽和高达 37.3 和 18.9 dB 的高接收信噪比。因此，与之前报道过的具有类似结构的 PMUT 相比，它具有更高的综合性能。这项研究的结果可加速开发基于 PZT 薄膜的 CMOS 兼容型高性能 PMUT。
