Abstract

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramic 0.90(Bi1/2Na1/2) TiO3-0.05(Bi1/2K1/2)TiO3-0. 05BaTiO3 (BNKBT-5) rings (OD=12.7 mm, ID=5.1 mm and 2.3-mm thick) were fabricated and characterized. Four ceramic rings were used as the driving element in an ultrasonic wirebonding transducer and the performance of the transducer was characterized. The lead-free transducer was found to have comparable voltage rise and fall times as a lead-based PZT transducer and has a relatively large vibration amplitude, thus showing that BNKBT-5 has the potential to be used in fabricating lead-free ultrasonic wirebonding transducers.
