[0062] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of, but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. And the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict, if necessary. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0063] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should be understood as the general meaning understood by a person with ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The similar words such as “comprise” or “include” and the like used in the present disclosure mean that the elements or objects before the words cover the elements or objects listed after the words and their equivalents, and other elements or objects are not excluded. The similar words such as “connect” or “connected” are not limited to physical or mechanical connection, but can include electrical connection, whether direct or indirect. “In”, “out”, “up”, “down”, and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationship, and when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0064] It should be noted that the size and shape of each figure in the drawings do not reflect the true proportions, but only serve to illustrate the present disclosure. And the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout the drawings.
[0065] In the related art, three mainstream micro-mechanical ultrasonic transduction device structures include PMUT, CMUT and sandwich structure ultrasonic imaging devices.
[0066] The ultrasonic imaging principle of CMUT utilizes the difference in capacitance between upper and lower electrodes with a certain interval, causing the diaphragm located between them to generate sound by electrostatic attraction. The interval between the upper and lower electrodes needs to be designed, and it cannot be too large, otherwise the electrostatic attraction will not be strong. For micro-mechanical devices, this is difficult to fabricate.
[0067] The ultrasonic imaging principle of PMUT and sandwich structures utilizes the direct and inverse piezoelectric effects of piezoelectric materials. When a certain voltage is applied to a piezoelectric material, it deforms and vibrates, generating ultrasonic waves; this phenomenon is the inverse piezoelectric effect. When a certain force (ultrasonic waves) is applied to a piezoelectric material, it deforms and generates charges on its surface, converting the ultrasonic waves into electrical signals; this phenomenon is the direct piezoelectric effect. However, in sandwich structures, the vibration mode of the piezoelectric layer is along the thickness direction (i.e., without cavities). To increase the intensity of the ultrasonic signal, the excitation voltage is generally increased when emitting the ultrasonic signal. However, increasing the excitation voltage increases power consumption, and the piezoelectric layer is easily broken down, losing its piezoelectric properties.
[0068] However, most ultrasound imaging devices in related technologies are designed as transceivers and basically adopt a sandwich structure. This type of device structure not only has low signal transmission intensity and weak signal intensity after reflection, but also easily causes crosstalk between the reflected ultrasonic signals, increasing noise, reducing the signal-to-noise ratio, and ultimately affecting the imaging quality.
[0069] In view of this, embodiments of this disclosure provide an ultrasonic transducer substrate, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a substrate 1 and a plurality of ultrasonic transducer units P disposed on the substrate 1. The ultrasonic transducer unit P includes:

[0072] The driving circuit 4 is disposed between the substrate 1 and the ultrasonic receiving structure 3, and the driving circuit 1 is electrically connected to the ultrasonic receiving structure 3. The driving circuit 4 is configured to receive the electrical signal output by the ultrasonic receiving structure 3.
[0073] Compared with the structure integrating the emitting and receiving in the related art, the structure separating the emitting and receiving provided by the present disclosure can be independently controlled, so that the material and structure of the ultrasonic emitting structure and the ultrasonic receiving structure can be designed specifically, thereby facilitating the improvement of the working performance of the ultrasonic emitting structure and the ultrasonic receiving structure; and the ultrasonic receiving structure surrounds the ultrasonic emitting structure, so that the reflected ultrasonic signals can be prevented from causing crosstalk between the ultrasonic receiving structures, the noise of the signals is reduced, the signal-to-noise ratio is improved, and the imaging quality and the definition are improved.
[0074] Optionally, the substrate 1 can be a flexible substrate, such as a flexible material substrate of polyimide, and can also be a rigid substrate of glass, quartz or silicon.

[0077] Optionally, the first lap joint electrode 5 and the second lap joint electrode 6 can be metal electrodes.
[0078] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-6 each drive circuit 4 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is only drawn with one thin film transistor, in a specific device structure, the circuit structure of the drive circuit 4 corresponding to the ultrasonic receiving structure 3 can be a 3T1C structure or a 4T1C structure, and the thin film transistor can be an LTPS structure or an LTPO structure.
[0079] In specific implementation, in the above ultrasonic transduction substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1-6 the ultrasonic transmitting structure 2 can include:
[0080] a cavity 21 arranged close to the substrate substrate 1;
[0081] a first passivation layer 22 arranged on the side of the cavity 21 away from the substrate substrate 1, and the orthographic projection of the first passivation layer 22 on the substrate substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the cavity 21 on the substrate substrate 1;
[0082] a first electrode 23 arranged on the side of the first passivation layer 22 away from the substrate substrate 1, and the first electrode 23 is configured to receive a driving voltage;
[0083] a first piezoelectric structure 24 arranged on the side of the first electrode 23 away from the substrate substrate 1;
[0084] a second electrode 25 arranged on the side of the first piezoelectric structure 24 away from the substrate substrate 1, and the second electrode 25 is grounded.
[0085] In specific implementation, in the above ultrasonic transduction substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1-6 the first bonding electrode 5 can be arranged in the same layer as the cavity 21 and spaced apart, and the periphery of the cavity 21 and the first bonding electrode 5 can be filled with a resin layer 13.
[0086] In specific implementation, in the above ultrasonic transduction substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1-6 the ultrasonic receiving structure 3 can include:
[0087] a third electrode 31 arranged spaced apart from the first electrode 23, the third electrode 31 and the first electrode 23 are located on the same side of the cavity 21, and the orthographic projection of the third electrode 31 on the substrate substrate 1 surrounds the orthographic projection of the first electrode 23 on the substrate substrate 1, and the third electrode 31 is electrically connected with the drive circuit 4; specifically, the third electrode 31 is electrically connected with the first bonding electrode 5, that is, the third electrode 31 is electrically connected with the source S of the thin film transistor in the drive circuit 4 through the first bonding electrode 5 and the second bonding electrode 6;
[0088] a second piezoelectric structure 32 arranged on the side of the third electrode 31 away from the substrate substrate 1;
[0089] A fourth electrode 33 is disposed on the side of the second piezoelectric structure 32 away from the substrate 1, and the fourth electrode 33 is grounded.
[0090] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the ultrasonic transmitting structure 2 is a PMUT structure, and the ultrasonic receiving structure 3 is a sandwich structure. Such a device structure not only can enhance the transmission intensity of the ultrasonic signal and improve the imaging quality, but also can separate the ICs for transmission and reception and control them separately. Figures 1-6
[0091] In a specific implementation, in the ultrasonic transducing substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 7 Figure 7 is a plan view of the first electrode 23 and the third electrode 31. The first electrode 23 has a circular shape in the orthographic projection on the substrate 1, and the third electrode 31 has a circular ring shape in the orthographic projection on the substrate 1. As shown in FIG. 2, Figure 8 Figure 8 is another plan view of the first electrode 23 and the third electrode 31. The first electrode 23 has a square shape in the orthographic projection on the substrate 1, and the third electrode 31 has a square ring shape in the orthographic projection on the substrate 1. The concentric ring design of the first electrode 23 and the third electrode 31 can avoid the occurrence of the crosstalk phenomenon of the reflected ultrasonic signal between different ultrasonic receiving structures 3, reduce the signal noise, and thus improve the imaging quality.
[0092] Optionally, the material of each electrode can be a metal material with conductive properties, such as gold, molybdenum, nickel, etc., which can be formed by using the sputtering, electroplating, and other processes in the prior art.
[0093] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 are used to provide an electrical signal to the first piezoelectric structure 24. The first piezoelectric structure 24 deforms (inverse piezoelectric effect) under the action of the electrical signal, and the cavity 21 provides vibration when the first piezoelectric structure 24 deforms, thereby generating ultrasonic waves. Thus, the ultrasonic transmitting structure 2 realizes the generation of ultrasonic signal transmission according to the electrical signal. The second piezoelectric structure 32 deforms when receiving the ultrasonic signal, and then the third electrode 31 has a charge (positive piezoelectric effect), thereby generating an electrical signal to the driving circuit 4. Thus, the ultrasonic receiving structure 3 realizes the generation of an electrical signal according to the received ultrasonic signal. Figures 1-6
[0094] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 25 are used to provide an electrical signal to the first piezoelectric structure 24. The first piezoelectric structure 24 deforms (inverse piezoelectric effect) under the action of the electrical signal, and the cavity 21 provides vibration when the first piezoelectric structure 24 deforms, thereby generating ultrasonic waves. Thus, the ultrasonic transmitting structure 2 realizes the generation of ultrasonic signal transmission according to the electrical signal. The second piezoelectric structure 32 deforms when receiving the ultrasonic signal, and then the third electrode 31 has a charge (positive piezoelectric effect), thereby generating an electrical signal to the driving circuit 4. Thus, the ultrasonic receiving structure 3 realizes the generation of an electrical signal according to the received ultrasonic signal. Figures 1-6 As shown, the ultrasonic emission structure 2 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure sets the cavity 21, so that the vibration mode of the first piezoelectric structure 24 is a cantilever beam vibration mode, the vibration amplitude of the cantilever beam is larger, and the ultrasonic signal strength generated is stronger. Compared with the vibration mode of the sandwich structure along the thickness direction of the piezoelectric layer in the related art, the cantilever beam vibration can further improve the ultrasonic signal strength.
[0095] Optionally, the materials of the first piezoelectric structure 24 and the second piezoelectric structure 32 can be the same or different. Optionally, the materials of the first piezoelectric structure 24 and the second piezoelectric structure 32 can include polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Further, in the case where the materials of the first piezoelectric structure 24 and the second piezoelectric structure 32 are the same, both can be organic P(VDF-TrFE) binary copolymer. In the case where the materials of the first piezoelectric structure 24 and the second piezoelectric structure 32 are different, since the ultrasonic emission structure 2 needs to emit ultrasonic waves, the first piezoelectric structure 24 thereof can adopt a material with strong electro-acoustic conversion capability, such as organic P(VDF-TrFE-CTE) ternary copolymer; since the ultrasonic receiving structure 3 needs to emit ultrasonic waves, the second piezoelectric structure 32 thereof can adopt a material with strong acoustic-electric conversion capability, such as organic P(VDF-TrFE) binary copolymer. Therefore, the performance of the ultrasonic transduction substrate can be enhanced.
[0096] In specific implementation, in the above ultrasonic transduction substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1-6 As shown, the ultrasonic emission structure 2 further includes an etching hole (not shown) in communication with the cavity 21, and the orthographic projection of the first passivation layer 22 on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the etching hole on the substrate 1. Specifically, the cavity 21 can be made by etching the metal sacrificial layer, first etching the metal in the non-cavity part, then filling and leveling with an organic material (such as resin), forming the first passivation layer 22, etching the first passivation layer 22 to form an opening corresponding to the etching hole, and then etching the metal in the cavity part through the etching hole to form the cavity 21.
[0097] The ultrasonic transduction substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure adopts organic PVDF material for the piezoelectric structure and adopts the method of etching the metal sacrificial layer for the cavity, so that the integrated preparation of the ultrasonic emission structure, the ultrasonic receiving structure and the thin film transistor can be realized.
[0098] In specific implementation, in the above ultrasonic transduction substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, Figure 9 and Figure 10This is a planar schematic diagram of cavities 21 within multiple ultrasonic transducer units P. The multiple ultrasonic transducer units P are arranged in an array on the substrate 1, meaning that the multiple cavities 21 are arranged in an array on the substrate 1; wherein,
[0099] like Figure 9 As shown, each etched hole V corresponding to each cavity 21 is set independently, that is, each cavity 21 is provided with one etched hole V, and the cavities 21 are not related to each other; or, as Figure 10 As shown, the etched holes V corresponding to the cavities 21 in the same column are interconnected. That is, an etch channel H can be set on the same column to connect the etched holes V in that column.
[0100] In specific implementation, in the ultrasonic transducer substrate provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the orthographic projection shape of the first passivation layer 22 on the substrate 1 is the same as the orthographic projection shape of the cavity 21 on the substrate 1. Of course, they can also be different.
[0101] In specific implementation, in the ultrasonic transducer substrate provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the first passivation layer 22 in each ultrasonic emitting structure 2 can be an integral structure, and the first passivation layer 22 of the integral structure only needs to expose the etched holes.
[0102] In specific implementation, in the ultrasonic transducer substrate provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the first passivation layer 22 in each ultrasonic emitting structure 2 can be an independent structure. For example, the ratio of the size of the first passivation layer 22 to the size of the cavity 21 is greater than or equal to 1.2 and less than or equal to 1.5. In this way, the boundary of the first passivation layer 22 can overlap the resin layer 13 surrounding the cavity 21, avoiding the collapse of the piezoelectric structure and electrodes above.
[0103] Optionally, the cavity 21 can be a circular cavity, and the first passivation layer 22 can be a circular passivation layer. In this case, the ratio of the radius of the orthogonal projection of the passivation layer 22 onto the substrate 1 to the radius of the orthogonal projection of the cavity 21 onto the substrate 1 is greater than or equal to 1.2 and less than or equal to 1.5. For example, the size ratio can be 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5.
[0104] Optionally, the cavity 21 can be a rectangular cavity, and the first passivation layer 22 can be a rectangular passivation layer. In this case, the ratio of the diagonal of the orthographic projection of the first passivation layer 22 onto the substrate 1 to the diagonal of the orthographic projection of the cavity 21 onto the substrate 1 is greater than or equal to 1.2 and less than or equal to 1.5. For example, the size ratio can be 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5.
[0105] In specific implementation, in the ultrasonic transducer substrate provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1As shown, the first electrode 23 and the third electrode 31 are arranged in the same layer. In this way, only the original pattern needs to be changed when forming the first electrode 23, and the pattern of the third electrode 31 and the first electrode 23 can be formed in one patterning process. There is no need to add a separate process for preparing the third electrode 31, which can simplify the preparation process, save production costs, and improve production efficiency.
[0106] In specific implementation, in the ultrasonic transducer substrate provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first electrode 23 and the third electrode 31 can be disposed in different layers, with a second passivation layer 14 disposed between them. This arrangement of the first electrode 23 and the third electrode 31 in different layers can prevent the formation of coupling capacitance between them when they are disposed in the same layer, which would lead to increased noise, ultimately reducing the signal-to-noise ratio and affecting the imaging quality.
[0107] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first electrode 23 is disposed close to the substrate 1; Figure 3 As shown, the third electrode 31 is disposed close to the substrate 1.
[0108] In specific implementation, in the ultrasonic transducer substrate provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the second electrode 25 and the fourth electrode 33 can be an integral structure formed over the entire surface, and the first piezoelectric structure 24 and the second piezoelectric structure 32 can also be an integral structure formed over the entire surface.
