Abstract

According to embodiments of the invention, an ultrasound device is provided. The ultrasound device includes an ultrasonic transducer, and a resonance matching circuit electrically coupled to the ultrasonic transducer, wherein the resonance matching circuit is configured to cooperate with the ultrasonic transducer to generate, from an impedance of the ultrasonic transducer, an effective impedance at a resonance condition of the ultrasonic transducer to provide a gain to an electrical signal generated by the ultrasonic transducer and to reduce a noise figure of the ultrasound device at the resonance condition. According to further embodiments of the invention, a method for forming an ultrasound device and a method for controlling an ultrasound device are also provided.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from Singapore Patent Application No. 10201603272U filed on 25 April 2016, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes. technical field [0003] Various embodiments relate to ultrasonic devices, methods for forming ultrasonic devices, and methods for controlling ultrasonic devices. Background technique [0004] Micromachined ultrasound transducers (MUTs) are widely used in ultrasound imaging systems. It converts electrical signals into ultrasound and vice versa. According to different physical and mechanical essences, there are two types of MUTs. A piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducer (pMUT) uses a piezoelectric material to generate a voltage signal, while a capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducer (cMUT) modulates capacitance to output a current signal. A Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is usually used to amplify electri...
