Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain mass-production of a two-dimension array transducer with less acoustic coupling by bonding a piezoelectric plate whose both sides are formed as a conductor to a packing member, dicing the plate while leaving the conductor part at first in the direction (x), dicing it in the (y) direction so as to form a pyramid element in checkers, connecting a signal lead to each head and providing the lead to a slot between the elements. CONSTITUTION:The piezoelectric plate 11 whose both sides are coated by conductive films 11a, 11b is bonded to a packing member 12. The piezoelectric plate 11 is diced in the direction (x) while leaving a film 11b between the packing member 12 and diced completely in the direction (y) to form pyramid element 13 arranged as checkers. A signal lead 14 is connected to each head 11a of the element 13 and placed to a slot 15 between the elements and led out externally. Then the conductor parts 11b in the direction (y) is used in common and connected to a ground lead wire 17 (common earth). Through the constitution above, the acoustic coupling with the elements 13 is decreased.

That is, (1) One side of the thin piezoelectric plate 1 is diced in a checkerboard pattern (cutting depth: about 93x in Gi thickness direction). As a result, prismatic elmmen 1 and 2 arranged in a 15% grid pattern are formed (FIG. 2(a)).

(4) Solder the conductive wire 5 led to the prismatic element 2 side to the head of each element 2 (Fig. 2 (d) and (e))
. (In figure d1, 10×10 prismatic elements are soldered ( ), and figure (e) is an enlarged view of the middle field 4j ( )). The head of the element to be soldered becomes an individual electrode (copper f'J: which is not diced), and the conductive film bonded to the surface of the electric body 1 becomes a common electrode.

By the way, in the two-dimensional array transducer J3 according to the above method, since each element is not completely separated, acoustic coupling exists between each element 1. If such a coupling exists, the acoustic characteristics will deteriorate. Therefore, from the viewpoint of acoustic characteristics, it is desirable that each element of the two-dimensional array transducer be completely separated.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, the conventional 'I! In the A manufacturing method, if the piezoelectric plate is completely diced, that is, the cut in step (1) above is made 100x, each element will be separated, making it difficult to connect the lead wires of the Jt through tti poles.

In addition, the method of drawing out individual electrodes in the conventional manufacturing method (2) involves inserting lead wires into through holes provided in the piezoelectric plate corresponding to each electrode position, so the work is extremely time-consuming. There is a problem that is bothersome. In other words, it can be said that the conventional manufacturing method is difficult to deteriorate the acoustic characteristics and is not suitable for childbirth.

W! fA [prismatic elements arranged in an l-shape] - Among the groups, the prismatic element rows arranged along the grooves indicating one direction of the board are constructed by dicing that leaves at least a conductor part, and the other Since the prismatic elmmen arranged along the groove indicating the direction]-row is formed by dicing that reaches the backing moon, the 32J-like connection between the prismatic elmmen 1 and the doma becomes small. Further, the connection between the common electrode (backing phase open glue body part) and the ground can be easily made. Furthermore, since the lead wires of the individual electric wires are installed in the grooves formed between the prismatic elements, the wiring process for the individual electric wires is simpler than the work of inserting the through holes. The method allows for a two-dimensional array transducer with reduced acoustic coupling.
