The ultrasound probe

Leveraging decades of piezo-based probes manufacturing, Vermon controls both the value and production chains thus delivering a ready-to-use product.

The transducer

Based on the customer specifications, Vermon is able to design custom transducers with accurate predictions on performance (pressure, SNR, sensitivity) and electrical behavior.

The assembly

Compact and smart ultrasound probes require advanced assembly processes. The technological portfolio of Vermon allows to provide the most adapted solution according to the performances and the manufacturability.

The intelligence

Embedded electronic solutions are led thanks to the collaboration of the electronic design-house, the customer and the transducer manufacturer. Based on its expertise in transducer and assembly, Vermon is the ideal partner to ensure a perfect sensor/electronic integration with the best performance.

Technology

Microscale Drums

MEMS-based ultrasound transducers are made of thousands of little vibrating membranes processed on top of silicon wafers. The actuation is made either by capacitive effect (CMUT) or piezoelectric effect (PMUT)

Razor-Sharp Pulses

Tiny silicon membranes exhibit very low mechanical impedance which results in wide bandwidth, very low ringing, with unparalled uniformity

Design Once, Infinite Copy and Paste

MEMS transducers are taking advantage of the semiconductor industry. The design is replicated thousands of time on 200 mm / 8-inch wafers, offering a strong economy of scale. The more you want, the easier it becomes

As Simple as Drawing

MEMS ultrasonic transducers offer full flexibility of design on a given surface of silicon.
From single-element transducer to fully-populated 2D matrices, the only limit is your own ambition

Years of cumulative experience

20 Years of commitment in MEMS-based ultrasound

Smart catheters and instruments add “eyes and ears” to minimally invasive instruments. Many clinical studies have underlined their value in improving the outcome of interventions, and in reducing cost. However, originating from traditional catheter manufacturers, these devices are without exception made with outdated 20th century technology resulting in a non-optimal performance and increased cost du to manual assembly…

Testimonials

« In a joint research project, we have developed custom integrated circuits for Vermon’s CMUT transducers. The Vermon CMUT team is very professional and knowledgeable. This fruitful collaboration has enabled us to realize unique circuit solutions for miniature ultrasound probes, and demonstrate their effectiveness in combination with Vermon’s CMUT technologies. »

Michiel Pertijs, PhD

Associate Professor, Delft University of Technology, Delft, Netherlands

“As a scientist in the GREMAN laboratory (UMR CNRS 7347), I have been working with the VERMON company for more than 10 years, mainly with the CMUT Research and Development team. I had the opportunity to share many topics with this team, either within the framework of national or international projects. The evolution, in the last 10 years, of VERMON’s know-how in the development of CMUT probes is impressive. Their skills extend from the design to the full integration of the probe, including the mastery of the electronic control circuits. Finally, it should be noted that VERMON’s CMUT probe technology is at the international state of the art, with significant improvements in terms of quality, robustness and performances.”

Dominique Certon, PhD

Professor, University of Tours, Tours, France

« Our experience with Vermon’s CMUT arrays and with their technical team has been excellent. We found the CMUT devices performing to the given specs and very stable in easy to use packaging. The engineering team is top notch with CMUT modeling and characterization experience for a wide range of imaging and therapy applications. »
