Problems solved by technology

For example, in the non-patent literature Cylindricallyshaped ultrasoniclinear array fabricated using PIMNT / epoxy1-3piezoelectriccomposite (Sensors and Actuators A: Physical Volume 192, 1April2013, Pages69–75), since the thickness of the array reaches 0.55mm, the frequency is low, only about 2MHz
In addition, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is widely used as the piezoelectric material in current ultrasonic transducers, and the electric strain coefficient and electromechanical coupling coefficient of this material are low, which is difficult to meet the needs of most ultrasonic transducers.

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-frequency ultrasonic transducer with a curved focusing array and a preparation method thereof. The high-frequency ultrasonic transducer comprises a curved substrate. The upper surface of the curved substrate is an annular member of which the radian is 60-180 DEG. The upper surface of the curved substrate is totally or partially covered by a curved focusing array. The bottom of the curved focusing array is a bottom electrode of which the height is 4[mu]m to 20[mu]m. The bottom electrode is provided with 16-225 parallelly arranged arc-shaped array elements on the bottom electrode. The bottom of each arc-shaped array element is a lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate thick film of which the height is 7[mu]m-100[mu]m, and the top is a gold electrode of which the height is 100nm-300nm. Furthermore the circle center of the arc-shaped array element is arranged in the central axis of the upper surface of the curved substrate. Through the high-frequency ultrasonic transducer and the preparation method thereof, the ultrasonic transducer with the lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate thick-film focusing array is prepared, and the high-frequency ultrasonic transducer with high resolution has a good application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of high-frequency ultrasonic transducers, and more specifically relates to a high-frequency ultrasonic transducer with a curved surface focusing array and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The ultrasonic transducer is a device that realizes the conversion of acoustic signals and electrical signals. The lateral resolution of the ultrasonic transducer is determined by the following formula: [0003] R = λF # = c f c F # [0004] Among them, R is the lateral resolution, c is the speed of sound in the medium, f c is the center frequency, F # is the ratio of the focal length to the aperture size, and λ is the wavelength of the acoustic wave, therefore, the larger the ratio of the focal length to the aperture size, the higher ...
