Abstract
Aspects of acoustic transducers are described. One aspect is a microelectromechanical (MEMS) transducer comprising a substrate and multiple cantilevered beams. A first cantilevered beam comprises a first protrusion and a first piezoelectric structure, where the first piezoelectric structure comprises a first deflection end and a first fixed end, where the first fixed end is coupled to the substrate, and where the first deflection end is cantilevered away from the substrate. The first cantilevered beam is separated from a second cantilevered beam by a gap. The first protrusion is disposed at the first deflection end and increases a thickness of the first cantilevered beam along the gap at the first deflection end. A second protrusion of the second beam is disposed at a second deflection end and increases a thickness of the second cantilevered beam along the gap at the second deflection end.
