Abstract
A composite structure of a z-axis interconnect is presented. The composite structure includes a plurality of layers of backing material alternatingly arranged between a plurality of interconnect layers, where the plurality of interconnect layers is configured to facilitate coupling the composite structure of the z-axis interconnect to a transducer array, where the composite structure of z-axis interconnect is configured for use in an invasive probe.
Claims18
A transducer assembly, comprising:
- a composite structure of a z-axis interconnect;
- and
- a transducer array disposed proximate the composite structure of the z-axis interconnect, wherein the transducer array comprises one or more transducer elements disposed in an array, and wherein the transducer array is in operative association with the composite structure of the z-axis interconnect,
- wherein the transducer assembly is configured for use in an invasive probe.
