AI Technical Summary
Existing piezoelectric materials in ultrasonic sensors do not achieve optimal performance, necessitating a method to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of ultrasonic sensors.
A piezoelectric stack is manufactured using a specific configuration of layers, including a substrate, bottom and top electrode films, and output and input piezoelectric films, with preferential crystal orientations and metal doping to improve piezoelectric constants and dielectric properties, and a protective film to prevent degradation.
The method results in a high-performance ultrasonic sensor with increased sensitivity and accuracy by optimizing the piezoelectric properties and reducing interference between output and input parts.
