This paper presents the design, fabrication, and measurements of very high frequency kerfless linear arrays prepared from PZT film and PZT bulk material. A 12-microm PZT thick film fabricated from PZT-5H powder/solution composite and a piece of 15-microm PZT-5H sheet were used to fabricate 32-element kerfless high-frequency linear arrays with photolithography. The PZT thick film was prepared by spin-coating of PZT sol-gel composite solution. The thin PZT-5H sheet sample was prepared by lapping a PZT-5H ceramic with a precision lapping machine. The measured results of the 2 arrays were compared. The PZT film array had a center frequency of 120 MHz, a bandwidth of 60% with a parylene matching layer, and an insertion loss of 41 dB. The PZT ceramic sheet array was found to have a center frequency of 128 MHz with a poorer bandwidth (40% with a parylene matching layer) but a better sensitivity (28 dB insertion loss).
本文介绍了由 PZT 薄膜和 PZT 块体材料制备的无切缝高频线性阵列的设计、制造和测量。使用由 PZT-5H 粉末/溶液复合材料制成的 12μm PZT 厚膜和 15μm PZT-5H 片制作了 32 个无切缝高频线性阵列,采用光刻技术。PZT 厚膜是通过旋涂 PZT 溶胶-凝胶复合溶液制备的。薄的 PZT-5H 片样品是通过使用精密研磨机研磨 PZT-5H 陶瓷片制备的。比较了这两个阵列的测量结果。PZT 薄膜阵列的中心频率为 120MHz,带宽为 60%,带有聚对二甲苯匹配层,插入损耗为 41dB。发现 PZT 陶瓷片阵列的中心频率为 128MHz,带宽较差(带有聚对二甲苯匹配层时为 40%),但灵敏度较高(插入损耗为 28dB)。
