國立清華大學「微感測器與致動器產學聯盟」活動公告

l  時間:07/12/2023 (星期三) 下午 14:00-15:30

l  地點:國立清華大學動力機械工程學系 工程一館 108

l   宗旨

  2013 年多位在微機電領域有豐富經驗的清大教授,於科技部的支持下成立「微感測器與致動器產學聯盟(Micro Sensors and Actuators Technology Consortium, mSAT)。多年來聯盟透過整合學研界的資源和經驗,協助業界解決技術問題、提供設備支援、及技轉和人才培育等,也陸續邀請數十位國內外微系統專家學者,舉辦專題演講。今年因為疫情趨緩,聯盟準備開始舉辦活動,促進國內產學研界的交流,歡迎參加。

也歡迎國內微系統業者,踴躍加入本聯盟,一起努力提升我國技術水準與國際競爭力。

 

l   演講內容

    Ultrasonic sensors based on bulk piezoelectric ceramics are widely used in range-finding applications today. We invented and brought into mass-production a new type of ultrasonic sensor based on a piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducer (PMUT) combined with a custom application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) in a 3.5 x 3.5 x 1.25 mm3 package. Originally conceived in a university research project, we started a company, Chirp Microsystems (now part of TDK), to bring these sensors into mass production. The sensor’s signal processing ASIC incorporates a programmable microprocessor, enabling the sensor to perform various application-specific algorithms, from basic time-of-flight range-finding to human presence detection. Relative to competing range sensors based on infrared time-of-flight, PMUT-based ultrasonic ToF sensors have numerous advantages, including much lower supply current (10 µA from a 1.8V supply), the ability to operate in direct sunlight, and the ability to detect transparent or black targets. I will also discuss the lessons learned in starting a deep-tech company and bringing an invention from the university laboratory to mass production.
