A stacked mounting structure and a method of manufacturing stacked mounting structure are provided. The stacked mounting structure includes a plurality of members provided with a mounting area which is necessary for installing and operating components to be mounted on at least one principal surface, and an area for connections for signal transfer for operating the components to be mounted, and an electroconductive member which is disposed on the area for connections between the mutually facing members, and a cross section of the electroconductive member is same as or smaller than the area for connections, and an end portion of the electroconductive member is extended from a principal surface of one member up to a principal surface of the other member, and a height of the electroconductive member regulates a distance of the mounting area.

Method of manufacturing stacked mounting structure

A capacitive ultrasonic transducer (c-MUT) comprising a silicon substrate and a transducer element which comprises transducer cells, each of which is constituted by a first electrode equipped on the top surface of the silicon substrate, a second electrode placed opposite to the first electrode with a predetermined gap therefrom and a membrane for supporting the second electrode, wherein a trench is equipped between the adjacent transducers and a conductive film is formed in the trench.
