摘要: A device for emitting an ultrasound acoustic wave in a propagation medium, comprising: a package including a base substrate and a cap coupled to the base substrate and defining therewith a chamber in the package; a semiconductor die, coupled to the base substrate in the chamber, comprising a semiconductor body; a micromachined ultrasonic transducer (MUT) integrated at least in part in the semiconductor body and including a cavity in the semiconductor body and a membrane suspended over the cavity; and an actuator, operatively coupled to the membrane, which can be operated for generating a deflection of the membrane. The membrane is designed in such a way that a resonance frequency thereof matches an acoustic resonance frequency that, during operation of the MUT, develops in said chamber of the package.

摘要: A PMUT device includes a membrane element adapted to generate and receive ultrasonic waves by oscillating, about an equilibrium position, at a corresponding resonance frequency. A piezoelectric element is located over the membrane element along a first direction and configured to cause the membrane element to oscillate when electric signals are applied to the piezoelectric element, and generate electric signals in response to oscillations of the membrane element. A damper is configured to reduce free oscillations of the membrane element, and the damper includes a damper cavity surrounding the membrane element, and a polymeric member having at least a portion over the damper cavity along the first direction.

摘要: A piezoelectric microelectromechanical structure is provided with a piezoelectric stack having a main extension in a horizontal plane and a variable section in a plane transverse to the horizontal plane. The stack is formed by a bottom-electrode region, a piezoelectric material region arranged on the bottom-electrode region, and a top-electrode region arranged on the piezoelectric material region. The piezoelectric material region has, as a result of the variable section, a first thickness along a vertical axis transverse to the horizontal plane at a first area, and a second thickness along the same vertical axis at a second area. The second thickness is smaller than the first thickness. The structure at the first and second areas can form piezoelectric detector and a piezoelectric actuator, respectively.

摘要: PMUT acoustic transducer formed in a body of semiconductor material having a face and accommodating a plurality of first buried cavities, having an annular shape, arranged concentrically with each other and extending at a distance from the face of the body. The first buried cavities delimit from below a plurality of first membranes formed by the body so that each first membrane extends between a respective first buried cavity of the plurality of first buried cavities and the face of the body. A plurality of piezoelectric elements extend on the face of the body, each piezoelectric element extending above a respective first membrane of the plurality of first membranes. The first membranes have different widths, variable between a minimum value and a maximum value.

At least two piezoelectric elements are included, with each one located over the membrane element along the first direction and configured to cause the membrane element to oscillate when electric signals are applied to the piezoelectric element, and generate electric signals in response to oscillations of the membrane element. The membrane element has a lobed shape along a plane perpendicular to the first direction, with the lobed shape including at least two lobes. The membrane element includes for each piezoelectric member a corresponding membrane portion including a corresponding lobe, with each piezoelectric member being located over its corresponding membrane portion.
