Enhancing AlN PMUTs’ Acoustic Responsivity within a MEMS-on-CMOS Process
In this paper, guidelines for the optimization of piezoelectrical micromachined ultrasound transducers (PMUTs) monolithically integrated over a CMOS technology are developed. Higher acoustic pressure is produced by PMUTs with a thin layer of AlN piezoelectrical material and Si<sub>3</sub>...
