Kolo Medical introduces new SiliconWave ultra-high performance ultrasound transducers at IEEE

Press releases may be edited for formatting or style | September 12, 2016 Ultrasound

The M17-4 1.5D array transducer with a 120% bandwidth and frequencies from 4-17 MHz is the ultrasound industry's first single-probe solution. With this frequency range, the M17-4 is able to replace multiple linear array transducers for imaging Small Parts to deep Vascular applications. The new M17-4 single-probe solution transducer is based on the Kolo SiliconMatrix™ technology and can deliver unprecedented imaging performance.

The new L30-14 linear array transducer can be used for Neonatal, Pediatric, and MSK applications. The L30-14 transducer has a center frequency of 22 MHz.

In addition, Kolo will showcase two improved SiliconWave transducers:

The L22-8 linear array transducer is designed for MSK and Small Parts imaging. Centered at 15MHz, this transducer has improved spatial resolution with excellent penetration when compared with PZT transducers.

The L15-5 linear array transducer with a center frequency of 10MHz, is designed for Vascular, Small Parts, and deep MSK imaging.

These transducer arrays resemble tiny silicon drums, each smaller than the width of a human hair, that are fabricated on a silicon wafer and incorporated into the transducer giving superior acoustic response that forms the basis for better ultrasound images. The technology used in SiliconWave transducers overcomes the fabrication limitations of bulk piezoelectric transducers. High-frequency, high-resolution transducers are potentially easier to fabricate with SiliconWave technology making ultrasound available for a wider range of applications.

The development of CMUT technology was initiated many years ago by a team at Stanford University that included the Kolo Medical founders. As the result of Kolo's years of independent research and development, our SiliconWave transducers offer designs that overcome many initial CMUT limitations such as sensitivity. SiliconWave transducers are fabricated in a commercial MEMS foundry, leveraging advanced semiconductor fabrication technology such as photolithography and thin-film deposition and etching. With the ability to control the vertical geometries of the transducer, such as thin-film thickness with nanometer accuracy, Kolo attains sub-micrometer lateral resolution with ease. Combining the power of innovative designs and superb fabrication capabilities, the Kolo SiliconWave transducers are proven to reach unprecedented yield, uniformity, and performance standards.
