Abstract:
A sound transducer system is provided having a piezoelectrically active electret material between a first and a second electrode structure. The electret material is applied on the first electrode structure, so that the first electrode structure is completely covered with the electret material. The second electrode structure is situated on or above the electret material, so that the electret material is situated between the first and second electrode structure. The first electrode structure is configured from a plurality of electrode elements that are addressable independently of one another. The electrode elements thus define the individual sound transducer elements, which together form a sound transducer system, also designated an array. The first electrode structure is configured on a surface of a multilayer circuit bearer.

The diaphragm, the wall of the diaphragm cup, and at least a part of the housing are formed in one piece from a plastic. In at least one first area of the diaphragm cup, the plastic is filled with a first filler. An ultrasonic sensor including the sound transducer is also provided.
Abstract:
An acoustic transducer, in particular for an ultrasonic sensor, is proposed. The acoustic transducer has a functional group, the functional group encompassing a diaphragm cup and at least one electroacoustic transducer element. The acoustic transducer furthermore has a housing. The diaphragm cup encompasses a vibration-capable diaphragm and an encircling wall, as well as at least one electroacoustic transducer element, the transducer element being embodied to excite the diaphragm to vibrate and/or to convert vibrations of the diaphragm into electrical signals. The diaphragm cup is constituted from a plastic material, the at least one transducer element being integrated into the vibration-capable diaphragm, the transducer element having an electrically active polymer.
Abstract:
An electroacoustic transducer includes: a housing; an oscillating structure including at least one disk-shaped piezoelectric element having first and second surfaces; an acoustic transmitter; and electrical connecting element contacting electrodes of the piezoelectric element. The acoustic transmitter has parallel first and second surfaces, which first surface is joined to the first surface of the piezoelectric element, and which second surface is suitable for emitting and/or receiving sound waves. The distance between the second surface of the acoustic transmitter and the second surface of the piezoelectric element corresponds to 1/4 of the resonance oscillation wavelength of the oscillating structure. The piezoelectric element is connected to the housing with the aid of a bearing structure which allows transverse strains of the piezoelectric element.

A covering device is mounted above the micromechanical functional arrangement, particularly the loudspeaker arrangement, opposite the enveloping package. A method is implemented to manufacture the micromechanical functional apparatus.
