Original Abstract Submitted
An architecture of an Electro-Acoustic Module (EAM) of an ultrasound probe is provided. In one example, the EAM includes a rigid interposer positioned between an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chip of the EAM and a flex interconnect coupled to a connector of the EAM, where the interposer facilitates an electrical interconnection between a plurality of transducer cells of the EAM, the ASIC, and the flex interconnect. The interposer may be electrically coupled to the flex interconnect at either a top side or a bottom side of the interposer, via Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) and/or Anisotropic Conductive Paste (ACP) or via wire bonds.
