Claim 1:
2. A set of computer readable instructions or process protocols or computer code configured such that, when processed by manufacturing equipment, permit, control or cause the manufacturing equipment, or provide instructions or data for the manufacturing equipment, to produce a flexible ultrasound transducer or ultrasonic transducer array for imaging, measurement or non-destructive testing by providing or depositing a layer of piezoelectric material on a substrate comprising a metal foil; wherein the layer of the piezoelectric material has a thickness in a range of 2 μm to 20 μm, and the substrate has a thickness in a range of 20 μm to 200 μm, the piezoelectric material is a doped, co-deposited or alloyed piezoelectric material; and the piezoelectric material comprises:
a doped, co-deposited or alloyed metal oxide or metal nitride, the metal oxide or metal nitride being doped, co-deposited or alloyed with vanadium or a compound thereof; or zinc oxide doped, co-deposited or alloyed with a transition metal or a compound thereof.
