A piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducer (PMUT) is one of the technologies available today for medical imaging. It is a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) that can accomplish ultrasonic transmission and reception of a particular frequency by utilizing the piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric films. The optimization is evaluated based on resonant frequencies and the Electromechanical Coupling Coefficient (EMCC) of PMUT, which is affected by the geometry parameters. The performance of PMUTs with different electrode widths, piezoelectric layer widths, and thicknesses is compared using COMSOL simulation. By varying the electrode width within the range of 200 μm to 650 μm, the piezoelectric layer width within 500 μm to 1100 μm, and the piezoelectric layer thickness within 5.35 μm to 11.35 μm, a comprehensive analysis is conducted to determine the sensitivity of the PMUT's performance to these geometry parameters. The most optimum design of a PMUT with the lowest resonant frequencies of 89.6 kHz and highest Electromechanical Coupling Coefficient (EMCC) of 12% is PMUT with a width of the electrode of 650 μm, a width of the piezoelectric layer of 1100 μm and 5.35 μm of the thickness of the piezoelectric layer.Read More
