Abstract: An acoustic device and method of manufacturing same. The device may be used to inspect tubulars and parts with high resolution. The acoustic device may include a 2D ultrasonic transducer layer and an ASIC connected to each other by an array of conductive wires. A non-conductive, acoustic damping material is flowed and set around the wires. to form a thick acoustic backing layer. Manufacturing the ultrasonic transducer may involve wire bonding. Electrical Discharge Machining or supporting rigid posts on a substrate. A surface of the backing layer may be machined. plated and diced to create conductive pads to connect the transducer layer to the wires then to the ASIC.
