摘要
A new method to manufacture Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (cMUT) combining a wafer bonding and a sacrificial layer processes is introduced. Devices with monocrystalline silicon membranes over a polysilicon electrode have been manufactured. The process is highly reliable and shows an excellent homogeneity all over the 200mm wafer. From impedance measurements in air of a monocell test device biased under 140V, a resonance at 8.0MHz and an electromechanical coupling coefficient of 45% have been found. Underwater pulse-echo experiments are presented demonstrating a large bandwith of the device of about 130%.
