Abstract
An ultrasound phased array integrated in flexible CMOS technology is provided. The CMOS IC chip is fabricated through various chip-thinning techniques, resulting in mechanical flexibility, robustness, and minimized mechanical loading for the piezoelectric transducers. The ultrasound phased array CMOS patch can allow for the generation of high intensity focal regions for maximum penetration in regions of interest.
