摘要:
The preferred embodiments described herein provide an improved ultrasound transducer and method of manufacture thereof. In one preferred embodiment, a method of manufacturing an ultrasound transducer is provided comprising the acts of supporting a layer of piezoelectric material with a window and separating the layer of piezoelectric material into at least two elements by dicing through the layer of piezoelectric material and at least partially into the window. In another preferred embodiment, an ultrasound transducer is provided comprising a first transducer element, a second transducer element, and a window coupled with the first and second transducer elements and comprising a kerf positioned between the first and second transducer elements.
