Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to an apparatus including an ultrasound-on-a-chip device configured to be bound to a user's wrist. The ultrasound-on-a-chip device may include a two-dimensional array of ultrasonic transducers. The transducers may be capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) and may be configured to emit ultrasound waves having a frequency between approximately 5-20 MHz. A coupling strip may be coupled to the ultrasound-on-a-chip device to reduce the air gap between the ultrasound-on-a-chip device and the user's wrist. The ultrasound-on-a-chip device may be waterproof and may be able to perform both transverse and longitudinal ultrasound scanning without being rotated. The ultrasound-on-a-chip device may be configured to calculate pulse wave velocity through a blood vessel in a user's wrist.

Abstract: Micromachined ultrasonic transducers integrated with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) substrates are described, as well as methods of fabricating such devices. Fabrication may involve two separate wafer bonding steps. Wafer bonding may be used to fabricate sealed cavities in a substrate. Wafer bonding may also be used to bond the substrate to another substrate, such as a CMOS wafer. At least the second wafer bonding may be performed at a low temperature.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a portable ultrasound device. Specifically, the disclosed embodiments relate to an acoustic lens positioned at an ultrasound probe. The acoustic lens may be configured for impedance matching and signal attenuation. In one embodiment, ultrasound signal attenuation is provided by forming an acoustic lens as a solid admixture of signal attenuating particles in a polymer matrix.
