Abstract

The invention provides a flexible micro piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer, a flexible micro piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer array and formation methods of the flexible micro piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer and the flexible micro piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer array. The flexible micro piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer is provided with a flexible substrate and has high flexibility.The flexible micro piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer of the invention includes a flexible substrate and PMUT structures; a first cavity is defined in the top of the flexible substrate; the depth ofthe first cavity is less than or equal to the thickness of the flexible substrate; the PMUT structures are located on the flexible substrate; and the PMUT structure comprises at least a lower electrode, a piezoelectric layer, and an upper electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a flexible miniature piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer, an array and a forming method thereof. Background technique [0002] Most of the current micro piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers (Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasound Transducer, PMUT for short) are based on silicon substrates. Although the rigid silicon substrate can well protect the device from environmental damage, PMUTs based on rigid substrates are generally not easy to bend, and cannot easily meet the needs of applications such as curved skin imaging, which limits the application of PMUT devices to implantable, wearable, Potential applications in non-invasive and other directions. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a flexible miniature piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer, an array and a forming method thereof. The device or array has a flexible substrate,...
