TRANSDUCER DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17752558 titled 'TRANSDUCER DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method of creating a transducer, which is a device that converts one form of energy into another.

  • The method involves depositing a layer of dielectric material on an electrode.
  • The dielectric layer is then patterned to create protrusions of different sizes.
  • The larger protrusions are called first protrusions, while the smaller ones are called second protrusions.
  • The dielectric layer is then bonded to a second electrode using another layer of dielectric material.
  • The sidewalls of the second dielectric layer create a cavity between the two electrodes.
  • The first protrusions are located within this cavity.
  • The purpose of this method is to create a transducer with specific features and characteristics.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of forming a transducer includes depositing a first dielectric layer on a first electrode, patterning the first dielectric layer to form first protrusions and second protrusions, where a first diameter of each of the first protrusions is larger than a second diameter of each of the second protrusions; and bonding the first dielectric layer to a second electrode using a second dielectric layer, where sidewalls of the second dielectric layer define a cavity disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and where the first protrusions are disposed in the cavity.
