Abstract

In this paper we present for the ?rst time an analytical electromechanical model for capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) with multi-layered diaphragms of non-uniform thickness. The model is based on dynamical Kirchhoff plate theory, which allows to derive the accurate static de?ection and vibration mode, and hence the mechanical and electrical impedance of the transducer. Experimental veri?cation of the model is provided by measurements of electrical impedance and transmission in air. Resonant frequencies given by the model deviate less than 2 % from the measured results.
