摘要
An ultrasonic microarray sensor using piezoelectric diaphragms has been fabricated and applied to recognition of a three-dimensional object. The sensor consists of piezoelectric PZT (Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3) thin film on 18 diaphragms of micromachined SOI wafer. The array is designed to obtain a sharp directivity considering wavelength of ultrasound in air and the chip size for micromachine applications. Three-dimensional images have been successfully obtained by scanning the sensor. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
