Title: Electret Acoustic Transducer Array For Computerized Ultrasound Risk Evaluation System

Patent ·
OSTI ID:879893

An electret-based acoustic transducer array is provided and may be used in a system for examining tissue. The acoustic transducer array is formed with a substrate that has a multiple distinct cells formed therein. Within each of the distinct cells is positioned an acoustic transducing element formed of an electret material. A conductive membrane is formed over the distinct cells and may be flexible.
