A capacitive ultrasonic transducer includes a first electrode, an
insulating layer formed on the first electrode, at least one support
frame formed on the insulating layer, and a second electrode formed
spaced apart from the first electrode, wherein the first electrode and
the second electrode define an effective area of oscillation of the
capacitive ultrasonic transducer, and the respective length of the first
electrode and the second electrode defining the effective area of
oscillation is substantially the same.
