摘要: A printhead for an acoustic ink printer has a piezoelectric transducer on one surface of a substrate. A layer of a dielectric material is provided on the surface of the transducer away from the substrate. A Fresnel lens is formed in the surface of the dielectric layer away from the transducer, for focusing sound energy near the surface of a body of ink adjacent the dielectric layer. Thus the transducer and lens are both on the same side of the substrate. A pit may be formed in the substrate under the transducer. The transducer may be a body of piezoelectric material sandwiched between a pair of electrodes, the lower electrode of which has a thickness that is a quarter wave at the excitation frequency of the transducer. An anti-reflective coating may be provided on the lower surface of the substrate, with a body of an absorptive material abutting the anti-reflective layer, or an absorptive material having an acoustic impedance approximately matching that of the substrate may be coated on the lower surface of the substrate.

摘要: An acoustic microscope assembly for atomic level inspection of a target object includes a cantilever arm with a sharp tip on its lower surface and a zinc oxide piezoelectric thin film on its upper surface. High frequency excitation signals, having a frequency of at least 50 Megahertz, are applied to the piezoelectric thin film so as to generate high frequency acoustic signals that are transmitted through the sharp tip so as to impact on a target object. The assembly can either receive acoustic signals reflected by the target object, or it can receive acoustic signals that have propagated through the target object. One method of using this assembly is to apply a continuous wave signal to the piezoelectric thin film while scanning the target object, and measuring characteristics of the target object at various positions thereof by measuring the resonant frequency of the transmitted high frequency acoustic signals. Other methods include pulsed operation, and combining acoustic measurements with atomic force measurements and/or tunneling current measurements to characterize a target object. The acoustic microscope assembly can also be used for storing information on a substrate, by deforming the substrate at selected positions, and for reading such stored information by determining which positions on a substrate have been deformed.

摘要: A scanning acoustic microscope is disclosed for the detection and location of near surface flaws, inclusions or voids in a solid sample material. A focused beam of acoustic energy is directed at the sample with its focal plane at the subsurface flaw, inclusion or void location. The sample is scanned with the beam. Detected acoustic energy specularly reflected and mode converted at the surface of the sample and acoustic energy reflected by subsurface flaws, inclusions or voids at the focal plane are used for generating an interference signal which is processed and forms a signal indicative of the subsurface flaws, inclusions or voids.

摘要: An acoustic microscope comprising a transducer for transmitting acoustic signals towards the surface to be studied, and means for receiving at least one reflected signal from the surface; in many embodiments of the invention, signals are received from two separate points. The signals received are passed to a synchronous phase detection system for analysis. The signals may be received at the same phase detector input and separated according to their expected time of receipt relative to their time of transmission, or they may be received at separated points on the transducer related to their separated points of transmission. The separated return signals are compared on the basis of phase (and in certain embodiments, magnitude) differential either to each other or to an internally generated reference signal to analyze the surface characteristics of the material.
