ABSTRACT:
An ultrasound array has a number of oscillator elements arranged side-by-side, each oscillator element having a trapezoidal cross-section. The oscillator elements are separated from each other by incisions having non-parallel walls, which are co-planar with surfaces of the piezoelectric material comprising the oscillator element. The incisions terminate in a damping member, to which all of the oscillator elements are attached. The incisions are produced with an excimer laser whose laser beam is focused onto a prepared layered material, with the incisions proceeding along a line.
