Definitions
- the invention belongs to the field of micro-electromechanical technology, and relates to a transducer and a preparation method and application thereof, in particular to a concentric circular-ring capacitive micro-mechanical ultrasonic transducer based on a non-diffraction sound field, and a preparation method and application thereof.
- Ultrasound is a kind of mechanical wave with higher vibration frequency than sound wave. It has the characteristics of high frequency, short wavelength, small diffraction phenomenon, good directivity, and it can become rays and propagate directionally. Ultrasound can transmit information, and it is easy to obtain more concentrated sound energy. Ultrasound has a strong ability to penetrate liquids and solids, especially in solids that are opaque to sunlight. It can penetrate to a depth of tens of meters. Therefore, ultrasonic testing is widely used in industry, agriculture, national defense, and medicine.
- the ultrasonic transducer is formed of a piezoelectric ceramic material such as PZT or a piezoelectric polymer such as PVDF.
- the current transducer can be made by semiconductor technology.
- Such a transducer is formed of a tiny semiconductor unit in which a vibrating membrane generates and receives ultrasonic energy, and is called a micromachined ultrasonic transducer (MUT).
- MUT micromachined ultrasonic transducer
- Two such transducer types are: those that use piezoelectric materials on the membrane, known as piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUT); and those that use the capacitive effect between a conductive membrane and another electrode Those are called capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUT).
- PMUT piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers
- CMUT capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers
- CMUT capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer
- CMUT capacitive micromachined ultrasonic sensor
- CMUT capacitive micromachined ultrasonic sensor
- a corrosion area must be formed between the upper electrode and the lower electrode, and the corrosion solution is poured into it. After the cavity gap is formed, the corrosion solution is removed.
- this process method will have the following two problems: 1. In the process of wet etching, the corrosion rate will be caused by the concentration of the etching solution and the corrosion time, which will cause the different corrosion levels and thus reduce the process consistency. 2. In the process of cleaning the corrosive liquid, due to the small cavity gap (2um) and the existence of the liquid surface tension, it is easy to cause the upper and lower electrodes to stick together, which leads to the failure of the device.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide a transducer and its preparation method and application, wherein the transducer is a non-diffracted ultrasonic sound field, because the non-diffracted wave can travel infinitely far without divergence in an ideal state, and the non-diffracted wave It is a highly focused ultrasound.
- time-delay focusing processing is not required, which improves the imaging frame rate; in the preparation process, reactive ion deep etching and wet etching are used together, which is convenient for Self-stop during the preparation process; avoid multiple photolithography, and can ensure the consistency and repeatability in the process operation; by setting the metal layer as a channel, avoid the first component and the second component from sticking to each other.
- One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a transducer, the transducer comprising: a first component, a second component, and a third component for connecting the first component and the second component;
- the first component includes an upper board layer and a first lead layer
- the second component includes a lower board layer and a second lead layer
- the third component includes an insulating layer, a conductive layer, a parylene layer, and a hollow layer located inside the insulating layer;
- the upper electrode plate layer, the first lead layer and the second lead layer are all suspended above the lower electrode plate layer;
- the upper electrode plate layer and the first lead layer are connected through the conductive layer in the third component;
- the lower electrode plate layer and the second lead layer are connected by the conductive layer in the third component.
- the transducer is a non-diffracted ultrasonic sound field, because the non-diffracted wave can travel infinitely far without divergence in an ideal state, and the non-diffracted wave is a highly focused ultrasound, which is applied to ultrasound imaging
- the system does not need to perform delay focusing processing, which improves the imaging frame rate; the speed of the sound wave in the human body is about 1.5mm/ ⁇ s.
- the sound wave round-trip time is 267 ⁇ s
- the sound wave can travel in the human body for a distance of 20cm, and the imaging speed It is 3750 frames per second.
- the current traditional ultrasound imaging system speed is only 30 frames per second, and the use of non-diffracting wave imaging will effectively increase the imaging speed.
- the transducer in the present invention is a concentric circular-ring capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer based on a non-diffracting sound field, which can greatly reduce the device area and facilitate the arraying of the transducer under the premise of having better ultrasonic intensity and ultrasonic frequency.

- Step 4 In the preform B obtained in the third step, the upper surface of the silicon dioxide layer, the W1 layer removed by etching, and the part of the M2 layer removed by etching are all deposited by chemical vapor deposition to deposit the parylene layer to obtain the preform Product C;
- the chemical vapor deposition method includes the following steps:
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the structure of the preform C.
- the purpose of depositing the parylene layer is to block the corroded pores, so that the cavity can be in a vacuum state, and secondly, to prevent water from penetrating into the device during subsequent work in water, resulting in the actual effect of the device; the parylene film uses a unique Prepared by vacuum vapor deposition process, a fully conformal polymer film coating is "grown" on the surface of the substrate from active small molecules, which can be coated on various shapes of surfaces, including sharp edges, cracks and inner surfaces. Unmatched advantages of other coatings.
