| 摘要 |
An ultrasound transducer assembly (50), in particular for ultrasound imaging systems (10), is disclosed, comprising a transducer array (52) including a plurality of transducer elements (54) for emitting and receiving ultrasound waves (56). Each of the transducer elements (54) includes a first electrode (66) connected to a flexible membrane (64) and a second electrode (70). The assembly further comprises an integrated circuit device (60) connected to the transducer array (52) for driving the transducer elements (54), wherein the first electrodes (66) are electrically connected to each other and coupled to the integrated circuit device (60) for providing an alternating drive voltage to each of the transducer elements (54), wherein the second electrodes (70) are connected to a voltage supply for providing a bias voltage to the transducer elements (54), and wherein the first electrodes (66) are each connected by means of a via (76) to the integrated circuit device (60) and the vias (76) are fed through the second electrodes (70). |
