Abstract:
A touch sensor chip can comprise an ultrasound sensor layer comprising an array of ultrasonic transducers. The array of ultrasonic transducers can comprise one or more ultrasonic transducers. The touch sensor chip can also comprise an integrated circuit layer coupled to the ultrasound sensor layer. The integrated circuit layer can comprise circuitry configured for driving the array of ultrasonic transducers to generate ultrasound signals and receiving reflected ultrasound signals using the array of ultrasonic transducers. The integrated circuit layer can also comprise circuitry configured for generating an energy signal associated with received reflected ultrasound signals.

Claim (Index 11):
A method comprising:\n generating a driving signal in an integrated circuit coupled to a transmitting ultrasonic transducer in an array of ultrasonic transducers coupled to the integrated circuit; generating an emitted ultrasound signal, by the transmitting ultrasonic transducer, in response to the driving signal, wherein generating the emitted ultrasound signal comprises transmitting the emitted ultrasound signal through a material layer in a longitudinal direction that is normal to an exterior surface of the material layer; receiving a set of reflection signals at a receiving ultrasonic transducer in the array of ultrasonic transducers, wherein the set of reflection signals comprise one or more ultrasound signals associated with the emitted ultrasound signal; measuring an energy signal associated with the received set of reflected signals; and determining that a touch event has occurred at the exterior surface of the material layer based on the measured energy signal.
