Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor with a contact layer of non-uniform thickness
摘要
說明書
In addition, in some aspects, the functionality described herein may be provided within dedicated software modules or hardware modules configured as described herein. Also, the techniques could be fully implemented in one or more circuits or logic elements. A general purpose processor may be a microprocessor, but in the alternative, the processor may be any conventional processor, controller, microcontroller, or state machine. A processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing devices, e.g., a combination of an SPU/MPU and a microprocessor, a plurality of microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in conjunction with an SPU core, MPU core, or any other such configuration.
Discussion begins with a description of an example piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducer (PMUT), in accordance with various embodiments. Example arrays including PMUT devices are then described. Example operations of example arrays of ultrasonic transducers (e.g., PMUT devices) are then further described, including the use of multiple PMUT devices to form a beam for capturing a pixel. Examples of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensors having contact layers with non-uniform thickness are then described. Examples of accounting for non-uniform thickness of a contact layer in an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor are then described.
