Abstract
A process for the fabrication of a multielement acoustic probe. A flexible circuit having conducting tracks on at least one of its sides is used. This circuit is joined to a plate of piezoelectric material having metallizations. Vias are produced through the flexible circuit in order to address the metallizations and to produce electrical contacts within the vias. This process may be used in echography probes.
