Abstract

See full text

An ultrasonic transducer is formed by a plurality of cMUT cells, each comprising a charged diaphragm plate capacitively opposing an oppositely charged base plate. A feedback controlled bias charge regulator controls the bias charge of the capacitive plates. The cMUT cells can be fabricated by conventional semiconductor processes and hence integrated with ancillary transducer circuitry such as the bias charge regulator.
