    The document discusses ultrasonic fingerprint sensors. It begins by explaining that ultrasonic sensors use high-frequency sound waves to create a 3D map of fingerprints, whereas traditional sensors create a 2D image. It then describes how ultrasonic sensors work, comparing them to optical and capacitive sensors. Key advantages of ultrasonic sensors are that they can scan through screens and are more accurate since they map fingerprints in 3D, including the skin's dermal layer. The document concludes that ultrasonic fingerprint sensors are a secure authentication method and their integration into devices may improve biometrics.

    1. Abstract:

    The 3D Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner has been developed by


    Qualcomm and the Galaxy S10 and S10+ are the first in the
    world to ship with it. The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor uses an
    ultrasonic pulse and creates a highly detailed 3D reproduction
    of scanned fingerprint where traditional fingerprint scanner
    use photographic sensors and create 2D scan of fingerprint.
    Qualcomm’s 3D in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is based on
    what used to be called Sense ID. Rather than existing photographic or
    capacitive-based fingerprint scanners, ultrasonic fingerprint scanners
    make use of very high-frequency ultrasonic sound. You can’t hear it,
    but these waves are used to map out the details of the user’s fingerprint.
    Fortunately, there’s no need to swipe, just touch the finger to the sensor
    like the top of the line capacitive fingerprint scanners. Fig: Working of Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor

    2. INTRODUCTION:
    An ultrasonic fingerprint sensor works by bouncing a sonic 4. COMPARISON TO OTHER SENSORS

    frequency ultrasonic sound. You can’t hear it, but these waves
    are used to map out the details of the user’s fingerprint. To
    actually capture the details of a fingerprint, the hardware
    consists of both a transmitter and a receiver. An ultrasonic
    pulse is transmitted against the finger that is placed over the
    scanner. Some of this pulse’s pressure is absorbed and some
    of it is bounced back to the sensor, depending upon the ridges,
    pores and other details that are unique to each fingerprint.
    There isn’t a microphone listening out for these returning
    signals. Instead, a sensor that can detect mechanical stress is
    used to calculate the intensity of the returning ultrasonic pulse
    at different points on the scanner.

    and not just its image. Most fingerprint scanners, including networks that could be compromised.
    Apple’s TouchID, use this technology.

    6. CONCLUSION:
    Fingerprint scanners have become quite a secure alternative

    further roll out of secure mobile payment systems means that
    these scanners are likely to become a more common and

    This sensor goes deeper. Where the previous two examples facilitated by Biometrics is commendable. In the case of a

    sound waves to map the dermal layer of your skin, i.e. the the sensor. While in-display fingerprint sensors as a whole
    layer just under the outer layer of skin. Because of this, these seem to be fussier than capacitive sensors, in-display
    sensors are extremely accurate and almost impossible to fool. sensors may very well take over in the future, and ultrasonic
    They’re also undeterred by dirt or scars. The sound waves are technology could lead the way.
    typically around 200 kilohertz when measuring something like
    a fingerprint. In general, ultrasonic fingerprint sensors can
    have their advantages. They can sense “blood flow”. The new
    fingerprint reader is “ultrasonic,” meaning that it uses sound
    waves to detect a three-dimensional image of your
    fingerprint. Those sound waves bounce off your finger and
    return to the phone, allowing it to see the ridges of your print
    as well as the depth of those valleys.

    5. ADVANTAGES
    The sensor is just 0.15 millimeters thick and can scan
    through up to 800 µm of glass and up to 650 µm of aluminum.
    Therefore, the scanner can be embedded under the case or
    under the display as we’re seeing in the Samsung Galaxy S10,
    allowing for a more discrete look and thinner bezels. Because
    the sensor uses ultrasonic waves, the sensor can also double
    up as a health tracker that can record heart rate and blood flow. Fig: Applications of Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor
    Additionally, there’s less chance of damaging the sensor or
    exposing it to external tampering, and sweat or moisture on
    the finger won’t interfere with the scanning process either. 7. REFERENCES:
