Description
対照的に、容量性超音波振動子は、標準の集積回路(IC)プロセスでバッチで製造され、それによってIC装置と統合可能である。さらに、容量性超音波振動子は既知の圧電振動子よりも高い200kHzから5MHzの周波数帯で動作することが可能である。その結果、容量性超音波振動子は次第に圧電振動子に取って替わってきた。
その後、選択的にエッチングすることで、パターン化されたアモルファスシリコン層23’は取り除かれる。
可能であるところならどこでも、同じ参照番号が、同様のもの、または同じような部品を参照するために図を通して使用される。
絶縁層、42 フォトレジスト層、43 犠牲金属層、45 導電層、46 バンプ、47 開口部、48 チャンバ、49 金属層。
