AN ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCER AND A TILED ARRAY OF ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCERS
An ultrasound transducer has a control circuit with an array of circuit portions which together define a circuit area. cMUT elements are provided over the top of the control circuit. Vias provide a coupling between each cMUT element and a respective one of the circuit portions beneath. The vias are...

| description | An ultrasound transducer has a control circuit with an array of circuit portions which together define a circuit area. cMUT elements are provided over the top of the control circuit. Vias provide a coupling between each cMUT element and a respective one of the circuit portions beneath. The vias are located at spaces between the cMUT elements and connect to the circuit portion beneath at a position relative to the shape of the circuit portion. The pitch of the array is greater than the pitch of the circuit portions in at least one direction of the array such that in said at least one direction, the cMUT elements extend beyond one or both sides of the circuit area. This makes tiling easier and enables a modular design. |
