    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a capacitive micro- machined transducer (100), in particular a CMUT, the method comprising depositing a first electrode layer (10) on a substrate (1), depositing a first dielectric film (20) on the first electrode layer (10), depositing a sacrificial layer (30) on the first dielectric film (20), the sacrificial layer (30) being removable for forming a cavity (35) of the transducer, depositing a second dielectric film (40) on the sacrificial layer (30), depositing a second electrode layer (50) on the second dielectric film (40), and patterning at least one of the deposited layers and films (10, 20, 30, 40, 50), wherein the depositing steps are performed by Atomic Layer Deposition. The present invention further relates to a capacitive micro-machined transducer (100), in particular a CMUT, manufactured by such method.

    摘要: A device includes a nano-structure made of electrically conductive material. The nano-structure is covered by a barrier coating comprising Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, Mo, Sc, Y, Ge, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Sr, Al, B, Ba, Bi, and/or Mg oxide in a thickness of at least about 1 nm. The barrier coating is deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD). A method of detecting a target compound uses the device for surface specifically creating an evanescent field, measuring the dielectric properties of a medium, detecting the presence or the concentration of a target compound, determining the primary structure of a target compound, determining a deviation of the target compound from a control value, amplifying a target compound, or monitoring the amplification of a target compound.
