Abstract
An ultrasonic fingerprint sensor system of the present disclosure may be provided with a thick electrically nonconductive acoustic layer and thin electrode layer coupled to a piezoelectric layer of an ultrasonic transmitter or transceiver. The thick electrically nonconductive acoustic layer may have a high density or high acoustic impedance value, and may be adjacent to the piezoelectric layer. The thin electrode layer may be divided into electrode segments. The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor system may use flexible or rigid substrates, and may use an ultrasonic transceiver or an ultrasonic transmitter separate from an ultrasonic receiver.
