A Piezo Institute member has overcome processing issues to develop the best performing lead-free thick film to date.

Ferroperm, a founding member of the Piezo Institute, has successfully developed a high frequency transducer (15–17MHz) for medical imaging using lead-free thick film technology.

Overcoming the challenges
High performance lead-free materials, including bulk KNN solutions, are difficult to produce on a large scale due to known problems with densification and ...
