Abstract
A probe for an ultrasound system, and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The probe includes a backing layer, an electrode part formed on the backing layer, and a piezoelectric member installed to the electrode part. The probe is manufactured by connecting the piezoelectric member to the PCB via a unidirectional conduction part, instead of soldering which requires difficult and laborious operations, thereby allowing easy connection therebetween while reducing an operation time for connection.
