摘要

本文介绍了一种高阶PZT PMUT （HO-PMUT）阵列，其沟槽压电层工作频率为1.78 MHz。这种高阶和沟槽设计在不减小半径的情况下将谐振频率提高到MHz，同时与基本pmut相比，增加了振动幅度和Q因子。通过优化后的双电极，阵列的标准化发射灵敏度（TS）达到19 kPa*mm*V-1*mm−2。我们通过机械扫描钢样品并产生7.34 dB信噪比的b模式图像，展示了其在超声成像中的开创性应用，展示了其优越的声学性能和便携式超声成像设备的潜力。(2025 - 0027)

High-Order Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer With Piezoelectric Layer Trench for Ultrasound Imaging

This letter presents a high-order PZT PMUT (HO-PMUT) array with trenched piezoelectric layer operating at 1.78 MHz. This high-order and trench design boosts the resonant frequency to MHz without reducing the radius, while increasing vibration amplitude and Q factor compared to fundamental PMUTs. Through optimized dual electrodes, the array achieved a normalized transmitting sensitivity (TS) of 19 kPa*mm*V^-1*mm⁻². We demonstrated its pioneering application in ultrasound imaging by mechanically scanning a steel sample and generating a B-mode image with 7.34 dB SNR, showcasing its superior acoustic performance and potential for portable ultrasonic imaging devices.
