Abstract:
The present invention relates to an ultrasound transducer assembly (10), in particular for intravascular ultrasound systems. The ultrasound transducer assembly comprises at least one silicon substrate element (30) including an ultrasound transducer element (14) for emitting and receiving ultrasound waves and including electrical connectors for electrically connecting the transducer element. The substrate element has a top surface (44), a bottom surface (46) and a side surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface. An isolation layer (32, 50) forms the side surface for electrically isolating the substrate element.
