Abstract:
A micromachined ultrasonic transducer (MUT). The MUT includes: a substrate; a membrane suspending from the substrate; a bottom electrode disposed on the membrane; a piezoelectric layer disposed on the bottom electrode and an asymmetric top electrode is disposed on the piezoelectric layer. The areal density distribution of the asymmetric electrode along an axis has a plurality of local maxima, wherein locations of the plurality of local maxima coincide with locations where a plurality of anti-nodal points at a vibrational resonance frequency is located.

Claim (Index 16):
The imaging device of  claim 15 , wherein the electrode is asymmetric with respect to at least one of first and second axes and wherein the first axis is normal to the second axis, and wherein one of the first and second axes extends along a direction where the asymmetric electrode has a longest dimension.
