Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers
(CMUT) have been widely used by the industry owing to its
numerous advantages such as easy fabrication process, higher
bandwidth, better integration etc. In this project a CMUT cell is
designed for distance measurement with frequency in the 100-
150 kHz range. The entire design and analysis were perfo...
USN’s MST - Lab is a research laboratory cleanroom; all personnel must adhere to safety guidelines and wear proper cleanroom suits before conducting any experiments. For the SSI Design Lab II (Microfabrication) course, lab experiments were carried out encompassing six processes with sputtering, photolithography, and wet/dry etching. Three different...
