[0053] Reference Figure 8 to 10 , A capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) 200 with a bottom electrode 240 in a concave shape is shown. The recessed air chamber 230 is defined by the recess of the bottom electrode 240. Go to Figure 8 , The top electrode 210 covers 100% of the area 260 of the membrane 220 above the air chamber 230. Therefore, the effective capacitance of CMUT 200 can be significantly higher than figure 1 The effective capacitance of the conventional CMUT (which has the top electrode 110 covering only 25% of the film area 120).
[0054] Go to Picture 9 When a direct current (DC) bias is applied, the entire area 260 of the membrane 220 above the air chamber 230 is considered to generate an effective capacitance. The concave portion of the bottom electrode 240 basically matches the deflection of the film 220 when a DC bias is applied.
[0055] If the bottom electrode 240 defines a concave shape or a curved profile, when the membrane 220 flexes, th...
