Piezoceramic transducer and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A piezoceramic transducer (PZT transducer) and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The PZT transducer includes a piezoceramic substrate and an electrode unit. The piezoceramic substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and has a mechanical quality factor (Qm) greater than 1400. The electrode unit has a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is disposed on the first surface and has a first diameter. The second electrode covers the second surface and extends to cover a part of the surface at a periphery of the first surface, and the part of the second electrode covering the second surface has a second diameter. The ratio of the first diameter to the second diameter is 0.498 to 0.502. The PZT transducer has a large mist amount and a long service life.
