Embodiment Construction

[0032] In the following description, numerous details are set forth, but it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods and devices are shown in block diagram form, rather than in detail, in order to avoid obscuring the invention. Reference to "an embodiment" throughout this specification means that a particular feature, structure, function, or characteristic related to the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, appearances of the term "in an embodiment" in various places throughout this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment of the invention. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, functions or characteristics in one or more embodiments may be combined in any suitable manner. For example, a first embodiment may be combined with a second embodiment where the two embodiments are not specifically i...

Abstract

Arrays of micromachined ultrasound transducers (MUTs) with multiple resonant mode capabilities and techniques for operating them are described, eg, for obtaining high frequency and low frequency operation within the same device. In an embodiment, piezoelectric membranes of different sizes are fabricated to tune the resonant frequency across the membrane. Piezoelectric films of different sizes over the length of the substrate are gradually transformed to moderate destructive interactions between the films oscillating in different modes and frequencies.
