Abstract: A micro-electromechanical-system (MEMS) device may include a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) that includes an actuation membrane and a sensing dielectric layer that are spaced apart by a cavity. The sensing dielectric layer may be formed such that the thickness of the sensing dielectric layer may extend the operational of the CMUT while enabling the CMUT to accommodate a sufficiently high direct current voltage bias for collapsed mode operation.
