3 AFM Products Breakthrough in High Frequency Ultrasound Imaging. Single Element transducers fully developed. Arrays technology demonstrated up to 100MHz. Strong IP (Patents, know-how, equipment). World leading and proven processing technology. Unique patented device designs. Increased imaging resolution. AFM single element transducers AFM Packaged Prototype Array 3
4 Ultrasound Technology Safe, inexpensive, real time - >20% of all clinical scans. Widely used in Fetal imaging, Cardiac imaging, Blood flow measurement, Intra-operative guidance. Utilises machined piezoelectric ceramic element Minimum image feature size 150um at 10MHz Current commercial limit ~15MHz. For imaging: Mechanical scanning (standard for frequencies <15MHz) Single element transducer Electronic scanning Array transducer 4
5 The Ultrasound Market Global Market with multiple industry sector applications in Medical, NDT and SONAR. AFM target market: Dermatological and intravascular medical sectors. High Frequency Devices (>20 MHz). 5
6 1-3 piezocomposites fabrication: Dice and Fill PZT pillar Epoxy matrix Dimension requirements Frequency 20 MHz 40 MHz Pillar width 24 μm 14 μm Kerf 20 μm 8 μm Thickness 80 μm 40 μm 1-3 piezocomposite Piezocomposites made almost exclusively by the dice-and-fill technique for f<20mhz Impossible to fabricate high frequency arrays by dice and fill because of the ultrafine feature size required. Conventional dice-and-fill technique 6
7 1-3 Composite Fabrication: Viscous plastic processing (VPP) Ceramic powder, polymers and solvents w 1 Ceramic paste w 2 High Shear Mixing Electrodes Calendering Moulding Epoxy resin Polymer Mould Lapping, Poling & Electroding Vacuum Casting Demoulding & Sintering Green Ceramic 7
8 1-3 Composite Fabrication: Viscous plastic processing (VPP) a) b) c) d) Sintered ceramic pillar structures manufactured by VPP.: a, b) Hexagonal pillars in an hexagonal arrangement; c,d) Cylindrical pillars on a cylindrical arrangement 8
9 1-3 Piezocomposite Fabrication: Gel casting CERAMIC POWDER ORGANIC MONOMER SOLVENT DISPERSENT Capability of producing complex parts Homogeneous material properties MIXING SLURRY Rapid forming circle INITIATOR De-airing Low capital equipment cost. CASTING Drying Microsized mould DE-MOULDING PZT slurry De-moulding SINTERING Flow chart of gel casting process. Gel casting for 1-3 piezocomposite fabrication. 9
10 1-3 Piezocomposite Fabrication: Gel casting PDMS mould obtained from a silicon etch master mould with a randomised pattern + Gelcasting Height: 140 μm Smallest features: 2 μm Aspect ratio: up to 70 10
11 1-3 Composite Fabrication: Summary Dice and Fill Viscous Plastic processing (VPP) Gel-casting Frequency <15MHz MHz MHz Re-usable mould? Randomised patterns? Scalable? Technology dependencies N/A, direct machining process No No, sequential process No, lost mould method Limited to simple pillar shapes Yes Dicing Direct laser drilling, or Excimer laser drilling + Mask Yes Yes Yes Silicon etching and elastomer replication, or Lithography, or LIGA/ UV LIGA, or Laser drilling FaBiMed EuSPEN Micromanufacturing workshop 30/05/
12 1-3 Composite Fabrication: Technological Challenges Composite and array fabrication increasingly difficult as dimensions decrease with increasing frequency Difficult to achieve required pillar aspect ratios, which may lead to spurious modes Current lost mould method are very expensive for both gel-casting and VPP routes (Silicon etching and PDSM replication; and Excimer laser machining through a mask respectively) 12
13 Fabimed Aims: Develop Gel-casting on laser drilled elastomeric moulds manufacturing route Comparison with current VPP manufacturing route Achieve moulds re-usability and an scalable process Achieve large areas (>10mm x 10mm), for enabling scalability towards a wafer scale process. Achieve technical specifications (20-100MHz): High aspect ratio >10:1 High volume fraction >40% Pillar diameter: 15-40micron Piller height: micron Pillar kerf: 8-25micron 13
14 FaBiMed Progress so far: Series 1: Epoxy on PDMS moulds Series 2: PZT on PDMS moulds Series 3 (UAVR): Alumina Slurry on PDMS moulds Achieved: Volume faction at pillar base ~48% Tall pillars (~180 micron) Issues to improve: Automated De-moulding not successful 5.3 pillar aspect ratio (Height/pillar base) is too low. Achieved: Tall sintered pillar structures (~170micron) Sintered PZT pillars Issues to improve: De-moulding Pillar volume fraction Achieved: Whole areas demoulded manually successfully (almost) Pillar aspect ratio look better meeting 30 Month Issues to improve: De-moulding Pillar volume fraction 14 FaBiMed Pillar height (mould filling) 14
15 FaBiMed Progress so far: Series 4: Epoxy pillars on elastomeric moulds (top), and green gel-cast material on elastomeric mould (bottom). 400um 200um Base De-moulded green ceramic pillars (~500 micron tall) 15
16 FaBiMed Progress so far: Achieved so far: Very tall pillars (~500 microns) High aspect ratios (>10:1) using laser drilled elastomeric moulds High volume fractions (~30%). Large areas (8mm x 8mm) manufactured by both VPP and gelcasting on a direct laser drilled polycarbonate mould (lost mould method) Currently working on: Gel-casting and demoulding trials currently being carried out to optimise the de-moulding of the pillar structures 16
