    • Electrical interconnects are provided for CMUTs. For example, electrodes within the silicon substrate, such as the electrodes at the bottom of the void below membranes, are interconnected together within the substrate. The interconnected electrode may then be used as the grounding electrode. By providing interconnection within the substrate and below the membranes, space for vias and the associated connection between the electrodes on an exposed surface of the substrate is minimized. As another example, an electrical conductor is formed on the side of the silicon substrate rather than the top of the substrate. Conductors on the side may allow routing signals from a top surface to a bottom surface without large wire bonding pads. Alternatively, conductors on the edge provide additional space for wire bonding pads. As yet another example, polymer material used as a matching or protection layer is formed on the top surface of the CMUT with electrical traces routed within the polymer. By using multiple layers of polymer, multiple layers of electrical conductors may be routed without interference.
    • 为CMUT提供电气互连。 例如,硅衬底内的电极,例如在膜下面的空隙底部的电极在衬底内互连在一起。 然后可以将互连的电极用作接地电极。 通过在衬底内和薄膜之下提供互连,通孔的空隙和衬底的暴露表面上的电极之间的相关连接最小化。 作为另一示例,电导体形成在硅衬底的侧面而不是衬底的顶部上。 侧面的导体可以允许从顶表面到底面的路由信号,而不需要大的引线接合焊盘。 或者,边缘上的导体为引线焊盘提供额外的空间。 作为另一个实例,用作匹配或保护层的聚合物材料形成在CMUT的顶表面上,其电导迹线在聚合物内布置。 通过使用多层聚合物,多层电导体可以无干扰地布线。

    • Methods and systems for electronically scanning within a three dimensional volume while minimizing the number of system channels and associated cables connecting a two-dimensional array of elements to an ultrasound system are provided. An array of semiconductor or micro-machined switches electronically interconnect various elements of the two-dimensional array. Elements associated with a substantially same time delay are connected together as a macro element, reducing the number of independent elements to be connected to beamforming or system channels. To beam form in the desired direction, the macro elements are configured as a phased array or along substantially straight lines in at least two dimensions (i.e. along the face of the two-dimensional transducer). Such macro elements allow transmission and reception along beams that are at an angle other than normal to the two-dimensional transducer array. Beams at such angles may be used to acquire information beyond the azimuth and elevation extent of the two-dimensional array. Various configurations of macro elements are possible. For example, the macro elements in each configuration are parallel across the two-dimensional array, but different configurations are associated with rotation of the macro elements such that each configuration is at a different angle on the two-dimensional array. As another example, the macro elements are configured in a plurality of separate rows of parallel macro elements (i.e. configured as a 1.25D, 1.5D or 1.75D array of macro elements). Two or more switches are provided for each system channel, allowing for rotation of macro. elements. The different rotation positions of macro elements defines different two-dimensional scan planes within the three-dimensional volume. Two, three or more switches are provided for each element to interconnect the elements in many possible combinations.
