We report preliminary wafer level measurement results of air coupled phase vapor deposition PVD PZT pMUTs for ranging applications recently fabricated in our Lab in Fab 8 inch line Dual port PVD PZT pMUTs designed to resonate in the 100kHz range were fabricated based on a boldsymbol 2 mu mathbf m thick PZT film on a boldsymbol 4 mu mathbf m thick silicon diaphragm The standard deviation of the PZT stack capacitance was 2 across the wafer Despite the sensitivity of compliant diaphragms to film residual stress the standard deviation of frequency was 5 Out of 16 sites across wafer probed all devices were verified to be in good working condition Given the strong piezoelectric constant of the PZT film mathbf e boldsymbol 31 mathbf f boldsymbol sim 16 mathbf C mathbf m boldsymbol 2 and compliance of the diaphragm designed for ranging applications we demonstrate large tunability in frequency 120 210kHz mathbf K mathbf t boldsymbol 2 1 7 3 and quality factor 50 100 for a bias voltage range of0 40V Results have been obtained without poling of the PVD PZT film No unresponsive devices were found
