摘要:
An electromechanical transducer includes a substrate, a first electrode disposed on the substrate, and a vibration film including a membrane disposed on the first electrode with a space therebetween and a second electrode disposed on the membrane so as to oppose the first electrode. The first electrode has a surface roughness value of 6 nm RMS or less.

A method of producing an electromechanical transducer includes forming an insulating film on a first electrode, forming a sacrificial layer on the insulating film, forming a first membrane on the sacrificial layer, forming a second electrode on the first membrane, forming an etching-hole in the first membrane and removing the sacrificial layer through the etching-hole, and forming a second membrane on the second electrode, and sealing the etching-hole. Forming the second membrane and sealing the etching-hole are performed in one operation.

An electromechanical transducer includes multiple elements each including at least one cellular structure, the cellular structure including: a semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor diaphragm, and a supporting portion for supporting the diaphragm so that a gap is formed between one surface of the substrate and the diaphragm. The elements are separated from one another at separating locations of a semiconductor film including the diaphragm. Each of the elements includes in a through hole passing through a first insulating layer including the supporting portion and the semiconductor substrate: a conductor which is connected to the semiconductor film including the diaphragm; and a second insulating layer for insulating the conductor from the semiconductor substrate.

The present invention provides an electromechanical transducer which can prevent light from being incident on a receiving face, without deteriorating mechanical characteristics of a vibration film. The electromechanical transducer has at least one cell 2 in which the vibration film 7 containing one electrode 8 out of two electrodes 3 and 8 that are provided so as to interpose a space 5 therebetween is vibratably supported. The electromechanical transducer has a stress relaxation layer formed on the vibration film 7, which has an acoustic impedance matching that of the vibration film 7, and has a light reflection layer 6 formed on the stress relaxation layer 9.

An optical deflector including a support substrate, a movable member, a reflective face, and a mounting structure for fixing the support substrate thereto. The movable member is rotatably or swingingly supported by the support substrate through elastic support members. The reflective face is provided on the movable member and deflects light incident thereon when the movable member is swung relatively to the support substrate. In the optical deflector, neutral surfaces of bending in a direction of a normal to the reflective face in the elastic support member and the movable member are not present in the same plane, and the support substrate is fixed to the mounting structure at a face of the support substrate on a side of the neutral surface in the movable member opposite to a side of the neutral surface in the elastic support member.

Disclosed is an electromechanical transducer, including: a cell including a substrate, a vibration film, and a supporting portion of the vibration film configured to support the vibration film so that a gap is formed between the substrate and the vibration film; and a lead wire that is placed on the substrate with an insulator interposed therebetween and extends to the cell, wherein the insulator has a thickness greater than the thickness of the supporting portion. The electromechanical transducer can reduce parasitic capacitance to prevent an increase in noise, a reduction in bandwidth, and a reduction in sensitivity.
