    摘要: Disclosed is an improved construction of an ultrasonic transducer, wherein a charge is not easily injected into an insulating film even when the bottom of a membrane comes in contact with a lower electrode, and a manufacturing method thereof without using the wafer laminating technique. The ultrasonic transducer includes a lower electrode; a cavity layer formed on the first electrode; an insulating film covering the cavity layer; and an upper electrode formed on the insulating film, wherein, the cavity layer includes projections formed into an insulating film protruded from the cavity layer. In addition, an opening is formed into the upper electrode, and this upper electrode having the opening formed therein is deposited at a position not being superposed with the projections of the insulating film when seen from the top.

    摘要: A solid state device includes a transistor (A) and a capacitor (B). The capacitor is defined by a lower polycrystalline silicon layer or electrode (20), multiple dielectric layers (22), and an upper polycrystalline silicon layer or electrode (30). The dielectric layers are formed by vapor depositing a 3.6-18.6 nm thick layer of silicon nitride on the lower polycrystalline layer. Thicker silicon nitride layers increase the failure rate and decrease the capacitance (FIG. 8). More specifically, the silicon nitride layer is deposited on a thin, about 1 nm, oxidized film or surface (24) of the polycrystalline silicon layer. The silicon nitride layer is oxidized forming a silicon dioxide layer (28) until the silicon nitride layer is only about 3 nm thick. This forms on oxide layer that is 1-8.4 nm thick. If the silicon nitride layer is reduced below 3 nm, the polycrystalline silicon tends to oxidize rapidly reducing capacitance and increasing failure (FIG. 8).
