Microelectromechanical actuator with extended range and enhanced force: fabrication, test, and application as a mechanical scanner

Published

Journal Article

A miniature ultrasound scanner has been constructed using a MEMS actuator called an Integrated Force Array (IFA). A second type of actuator called a Spiral Wound Transducer (SWT) is under development and shows significant promise for this application. Both the scanner and SWT will be discussed.
