We report experimental results from collapsed regime operation of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (cMUTs) fabricated by a wafer bonding technique. The results show that a cMUT operating in the collapsed regime produces a maximal output pressure higher than a cMUT operating in the pre-collapse regime at 90 % of its collapse voltage, 1.79 kPa/V vs. 9.72 kPa/V at 2.3 MHz. In collapsed regime operation the fractional bandwidth (pulse echo) is increased compared to that obtained in pre-collapsed regime operation 140 % vs. 83 % with a bias 90 % of the collapse voltage. Characterization of 1-D cMUT arrays operating in oil was done by ultrasonic pulse echo and pitch catch measurements.

Comparison of conventional and collapsed region operation of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers Huang, Yongli; Haeggstrom, Edward; Bayram, Barış; Zhuang, Xuefeng; Ergun, Arif Sanh; Cheng, Ching-Hsiang; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus T. (2006-10-01) We report experimental results from a comparative study on collapsed region and conventional region operation of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) fabricated with a wafer bonding technique. Using ultrasonic pulse-echo and pitch-catch measurements, we characterized single elements of 1-D CMUT arrays operating in oil. The experimental results from this study agreed with the simulation results: a CMUT operating in the collapsed region produced a higher maximum output pressure than a CMUT ...
Experimental characterization of collapse-mode CMUT operation Oralkan, Omer; Bayram, Barış; Yaralioglu, Goksen G.; Ergun, A. Sanli; Kupnik, Mario; Yeh, David T.; Wygant, Ira O.; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus T. (2006-08-01) This paper reports on the experimental characterization of collapse-mode operation of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs). CMUTs are conventionally operated by applying a direct current (DC) bias voltage less than the collapse voltage of the membrane, so that the membrane is deflected toward the bottom electrode. In the conventional regime, there is no contact between the membrane and the substrate; the maximum alternating current (AC) displacement occurs at the center of the membrane. I...
Mo doping of layered Li (NixMnyCo1-x-y-zMz)O-2 cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries PİŞKİN, BERKE; Uygur, Cansu Savas; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri (Wiley, 2018-10-10) We systematically investigated the effects of Mo doping on the structure, morphology, and the electrochemical performance of Li (NixMnyCo1-x-y-zMz)O-2 (NMC) cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Layered NMC cathodes were synthesized with the ratio of 111, 622, and 226 via spray pyrolysis yielding submicron-sized aggregates in the shape of hollow spherical particles. We performed X-ray diffraction analyses to determine the present phases and the ordering in structure. X-ray diffraction pattern of Mo-doped ...
Frequency effect on electrical and dielectric characteristics of HfO2-interlayered Si-based Schottky barrier diode Gullu, H. H.; Yildiz, D. E.; Surucu, O.; Parlak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-06-01) This study reveals the electrical properties of In/HfO2/n-Si structure with atomic layer-deposited interfacial oxide layer, HfO2 thin film between In top metal contact and monocrystalline Si wafer substrate. From the dark current-voltage measurements, the diode structure showed good rectifying behavior and low saturation current of about two order of magnitude and 1.2 x 10(- 9) A, respectively. According to the conventional thermionic emission model, zero-bias barrier height and ideality factor were calcula...
Diamond-based capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers Bayram, Barış (2012-02-01) Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) employing diamond membranes are demonstrated. The design, finite element modeling, microfabrication, and experimental characterization of diamondbased CMUTs are reported. Ultrananocrystalline diamond having a chemical mechanical polished silicon dioxide interlayer deposited via high temperature oxide (HTO) process at 850 degrees C in a low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) furnace is employed as the membrane to form vacuum sealed cavities usin...
