Abstract:
An ultrasonic probe comprising a piezoelectric element, a first electrode formed on a substantial portion of a first main face, a first side face and a part of a second main face of the piezoelectric element, and a second electrode formed on a substantial portion of a second main face, a second side face and a part of a first main face of the piezoelectric element, the two electrodes being isolated from each other by two grooves formed on the first and second main faces of the piezoelectric element, in a manner parallel to the side edges of the piezoelectric element, respectively, has good vibration and probing properties.
Abstract:
A film structure of a ferroelectric single crystal which can be beneficially used in the fabrication of high-performance electric or electronic parts or devices is prepared by adhering a ferroelectric single crystal plate to a substrate by a conductive adhesive or metal layer, the ferroelectric single crystal plate being polished before or after the adhesion with the substrate.
