ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic probe is characterized in that a piezoelectric member111formed of solution-based single-crystal containing at least plumbum titanate is sandwiched between resin layers113and115having smaller acoustic impedance than the piezoelectric member and having conductivity, so processing errors are prevented from occurring during cutting and the resin layers can be used as acoustic layers or electrodes.
