Abstract:
The invention relates to an array of ultrasound transducers which each comprise a substrate (1), a membrane (2), a first electrode (4), a piezoelectric layer (5), and a second electrode (6), wherein the substrate (1) comprises at least one opening (3) which adjoins the membrane (2) at one side, while the piezoelectric layer (5) has a high piezoelectric coupling coefficient k and is textured. The invention further relates to an ultrasound transducer and to a method of manufacturing an array of ultrasound transducers.
