In the design of Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers PMUTs for wideband immersion operation the choice of piezoelectric material is crucial for determining transducer performance The sensitivity bandwidth and maximum transmit TX pressure are significantly impacted by the selected material thereby determining the suitability of PMUTs for various application scenarios such as medical imaging wearables and implants This work reports on an experimental comparative analysis of wideband PMUT performance when designed and fabricated using sol gel SG Lead Titanate Zirconate PZT Physical Vapor Deposition PVD PZT and 15 Scandium doped Aluminum Nitride ScAlN aiming to provide insights for optimizing PMUT design by selecting the most appropriate material for specific applications
