Methods for the manufacture of electrical components, such as ultrasound transducers, are illustrated and described. In particular, several embodiments of the methods can include patterning electrodes, such as for the connection of an ultrasound transducer to an electrical circuit. The methods also can include depositing metal on surfaces and making an integrated matching layer for an ultrasound transducer. Ultrasound transducers produced by these methods also are illustrated and described.
