Ultrasonic probe and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

Provided are an ultrasonic probe (1) and a method of manufacturing the same. The ultrasonic probe (1) includes: a matching layer (2); a piezoelectric layer (3) that is disposed on a bottom surface of the matching layer (2) and generates ultrasonic waves; and a backing layer (10) that is disposed on a bottom surface of the piezoelectric layer (3) and includes plate-shaped carbon allotropes and a backing material provided between the plate-shaped carbon allotropes.
