Abstract

An ultrasonic device is provided for transmitting ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic device comprises an electrostatic drive device and an impedance matching layer. The electrostatic drive device includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is a drive membrane and is disposed with tension applied at a position facing the second electrode. The second electrode has a through hole. At least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a laminated membrane in which a plurality of materials with different conductivities are laminated. The impedance matching layer includes a matching membrane and gas. The matching membrane has a resonance loss equal to or less than transmitted acoustic power, and is disposed with tension applied at a position facing the first electrode. The gas is sealed between the matching membrane and the first electrode.
