Abstract

A conformable piezoelectric transducer array for performing ultrasound or the like includes a silicone elastomer substrate and a silicone elastomer superstrate. A plurality of piezoelectric transducer elements are disposed between the substrate and superstrate. A first electrical interconnect layer electrically interconnects a first surface of the transducer elements adjacent to the substrate and a second electrical interconnect layer electrically interconnecting a second surface of the transducer elements adjacent to the superstrate.
