    Abstract: An ultrasonic device according to one aspect includes a case, a piezoelectric element, a sound absorbing material, and a vibration-proof material. The case defines a housing space. The piezoelectric element is disposed in the housing space. The sound absorbing material is disposed on a main face of the piezoelectric element and is made of a foaming material. The vibration-proof material is disposed around the sound absorbing material. The sound absorbing material includes a first opposing face opposed to the main face. The first opposing face has an uneven shape in which a plurality of protruding portions and a plurality of depression portions are alternately continued, and is rougher than the main face.

    Abstract: An ultrasound transducer includes an acoustic layer having a front side and an opposite back side. The acoustic layer is configured to convert electrical signals into ultrasound waves to be transmitted from the front side toward a target. The acoustic layer is configured to convert received ultrasound waves into electrical signals. A lens is connected to the front side of the acoustic layer. A heat sink is connected to the back side of the acoustic layer. A flex circuit is disposed between the acoustic layer and the heat sink. The flex circuit includes a backside matching layer incorporated into a body of the flex circuit. The backside matching layer is connected in thermal communication with the acoustic layer and the heat sink such that the backside matching layer is configured to conduct heat from the acoustic layer to the heat sink.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a microfabricated acoustic transducer with suppressed substrate modes. The modes are suppressed by either thinning the substrate such that a longitudinal ringing mode occurs outside of the frequency band of interest or by applying a judiciously designed damping material on the backside of the transducer substrate.
