Definitions

  • the flex circuit 314 further includes conductive traces formed on the film layer that carry signals between the control logic dies 306 and the transducers 312 and that provide a set of pads for connecting the conductors of cable 1 14. Suitable materials for the conductive traces include copper, gold, platinum, aluminum, silver, nickel, and tin and may be deposited on the flex circuit 314 by processes such as sputtering, plating, and etching.
  • the flex circuit 314 includes a chromium adhesion layer or a titanium-tungsten adhesion layer.
  • the scanner assembly may include inner conductive layers 414 and 416, each of which may include signal traces for electrically coupling the transducers 312, power traces for carrying supply voltage or ground, ground shielding, radiopaque markers, or other structures and may also be part of an impedance matching structure.
  • the inner conductive layers 414 and 416 may include any suitable conductor such as gold, platinum, copper, aluminum, silver, nickel, and tin.
  • conductive layer 414 is disposed directly on the transducer 312 opposite the flex circuit 314 and may include gold-containing conductors arranged in power traces for carrying supply voltage and/or ground signals.
