    摘要: In fabricating a two-dimensional array transducer wherein individual preformed piezoelectric elements are manufactured separately in a high temperature ceramic firing process, a ceramic substrate is provided, having a surface with a plurality of electrodes thereon. A layer of dielectric material is formed on the substrate surface. Holes are formed in the dielectric material layer over the electrodes, defining cavities with metal pads at the bottoms. The individual preformed piezoelectric elements are then inserted into the holes; with one end of each element in contact with a corresponding one of the substrate electrodes. The holes are sized such that the piezoelectric elements are isolated from the dielectric layer. A ground plane conductor is then formed over the dielectric material layer and over the ends of the piezoelectric elements opposite the ends in contact with the piezoelectric elements, and is photolithographically patterned and may be etched to provide a "mesh" structure. The layer of dielectric material may then be removed to provide better isolation between the piezoelectric elements.

    摘要: A matching layer for ultrasound transducers has a gradient in impedance value from one surface to the other surface of the matching layer. The matching layer is composed of a plurality of sublayers made of composite materials and securely attached together and is disposed on the surface of the transducer element. The first sublayer adjacent to the transducer element has an impedance value less than or equal to that of the transducer element. The last sublayer adjacent to the target has an impedance value greater than or equal to that of the target. The impedance values of the sublayers decrease monotonically from the first to the last sublayer.
