We present impedance and pitch-catch measurements of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) in permanent contact mode with improved mechanical strength that demonstrate functionality up to 20 atm ambient pressure. Changes in device design and fabrication are made to improve the mechanical strength of the CMUT plates, including using smaller deflection to thickness ratio (9 – 33%),...
We present measurement results of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) in permanent contact mode over a wide pressure range (1 – 8 atm). The CMUT plates are in contact with the bottom of the cavities due to atmospheric pressure, even without any dc bias voltage. The electrical input impedance at various dc bias voltages are measured at elevated pressure to characterize individual...
The ability of ultrasound transducers to operate over a wide and varying pressure range is essential in applications such as ultrasonic flow metering (UFM) of flare gas. We propose a new operational mode for capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs), in which the plate is in permanent contact with the bottom of the cavity, even at zero DC bias and 1 atm pressure. Finite element analysis...
