Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to develop an electrical and ultrasonic multi-imaging system based on the CMUT multi-functional device. The design and experimental manufacture of the CMUT multi-functional device were conducted, and the CMUT multi-functional imaging system was developed and evaluated. In the CMUT multi-functional device, although the device based on the LTCC substrate was designed, it is difficult to develop it since there were many problems. However, we obtained new knowledge on fabrication of the device. In the CMUT multi-function imaging system, the system was actually developed and the performance of the system was evaluated. As a result, the usefulness of the system was presented. In the future, the multi-functional CMUT imaging based on the results of our research will be developed.
