Abstract

The invention relates to an MEMS ultrasonic transducer technology, and in particular to an MEMS piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer with a horn structure. The transducer comprises an MEMS piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer and a horn-shaped silicon structure, wherein the horn-shaped silicon structure is bonded on the upper surface or the lower surface of the MEMS piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer. A cavity in the horn-shaped silicon structure forms at least one sound wave guide pipe. Each sound wave guide pipe comprises at least two steps. Each step comprises a step sound pipe. The sectional area of each step sound pipe is gradually increased to form a horn-shaped cavity. Each horn-shaped cavity can amplify sound waves generated by the MEMS piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer. In addition, sound waves generated by the back of the MEMS piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer can be conducted to the top of the MEMS piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer and are overlapped with sound waves generated by the top of the MEMS piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer for transmission, so that the intensity of the sound waves generated by the ultrasonic transducer is further improved. According to the device, the intensity of the sound waves generated by the MEMS ultrasonic transducer can be enhanced, and the energy conversion efficiency of the MEMS piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of MEMS ultrasonic transducers, in particular to a MEMS piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer with a horn structure. Background technique [0002] An ultrasonic transducer is a transducing element that can be used to both transmit and receive ultrasonic waves. When working in the transmitting mode, the electric energy is converted into the vibration of the transducer through electrostatic force or inverse piezoelectric effect to radiate sound waves; when working in the receiving mode, the sound pressure acts on the surface of the transducer to vibrate, and the transducer The vibration is then converted into an electrical signal. At present, the most widely used ultrasonic sensors are mainly based on bulk piezoelectric transducers, which mainly use the thickness vibration mode of piezoelectric ceramics to generate ultrasonic waves. Since the resonance frequency of the thickness mode is only related to the thic...
