FIG. 1(b) is an example of a conventional mechanical scanning type probe. For this purpose, a vibrator 1 shown in FIG. 1(a), which is previously formed into a concave surface, is used. First, the city (territory 102,
Electrodes are attached to the signal line 104 by soldering or the like to the concave vibrator 101 having 103, and 101'e is adhered to the sound wave absorber (banking material) 107 adhered to the support base 106, and 7-s ai o 109 with s2tffl attached, and after gluing resin mixed with tungsten powder etc., mechanical polishing,
Alternatively, an acoustic matching 14110' is formed on the front surface of the vibrator by using a spacer and pouring a fully mixed resin such as tungsten powder. Conventionally, inorganic piezoelectric materials such as PZT and PbTjO3 have been used as the concave vibrator, so the vibrator in a predetermined shape had to be made in advance by firing using a mold or the like. Therefore, it is extremely time-consuming and difficult to finish in the desired shape due to deformation during firing. As described above, with conventional inorganic piezoelectric materials, various difficulties were encountered in forming a probe with an arbitrary shape such as a concave or convex surface.

FIG. 5T shows an example of forming a circular electrode from directly above the composite material. That is, 501 is an inorganic piezoelectric material, and 502 is a flexible organic material. At this time, it is preferable to form a circular electrode with the center 503 of the columnar piezoelectric body as the center and the center 504 of the shape. Na-W
Then, it is possible to form substantially symmetrical poles 1a such as 505, 504f if 503 is the center, and 506 if the center is 503, and therefore the symmetry of the ultrasonic beam is almost maintained. On the other hand, if the other point is 507, for example, the electrode becomes asymmetrical like 508, so the ultrasonic beam also becomes asymmetrical, and the performance as a probe deteriorates. Furthermore, if concentric electrodes are formed on a composite material by a method such as screen printing or vapor deposition, a probe with multiple polarization rings can be made. Note that it is desirable that the electrode on the ground side be formed larger by p than the straight bar pattern on the opposite side so as to avoid any discrepancy.

If this method is further developed, it is possible to create probes with any electrode shape.

In Fig. 4(b) and (C), after forming four poles as shown in 406, the banking material was bonded, but it is also possible to bond the banking material at this time with a conductive paste with adhesive properties. Well, in this case the work becomes easier.

Furthermore, if this continues, there is a possibility that the upper and lower electrodes will be short-circuited. In that case, an insulator may be formed on the side surface of the composite material. Figure 6 shows the rows of composite materials 401 and global 404.
After gluing with wax etc. 405, insulator 60 is attached to the side.
The figure shows a state in which an electrode 406 is formed after the electrode 406 is formed. By doing so, it is possible to prevent short circuits between the upper and lower surfaces.
