A method including disposing a first end plate adjacent to a second end plate, wherein the first end plate and second end plate each define a pattern of apertures. The first end plate is aligned with the second end plate such that the pattern of apertures in the first end plate is substantially aligned with the pattern of apertures in the second end plate. The method includes placing an end portion of each of a plurality of micro tubes in contact with the first end plate, the micro tubes being substantially vertically disposed and substantially perpendicular to a top surface of the first end plate, so as to place the micro tubes on the first end plate, and vibrating at least one of the micro tubes while the micro tubes are on the first end plate, thereby causing the micro tubes to insert into and through respective aligned apertures of the patterns of apertures in the first end plate and the second end plate. The method further includes separating the first end plate from the second end plate while the micro tubes extend therethrough, until the first end plate and the second end plate are disposed proximate to respective end portions of the micro tubes extending therethrough, and affixing each end portion of the micro tubes to a respective end plate, thereby forming a pathway in a micro tube heat exchanger component for the flow of an internal fluid to be heated or cooled by external flow of an external fluid.

A heat exchanger device having a plurality of substantially parallel tubes. Each tube has an outer diameter which is less than or equal to one millimeter and further includes a first end portion and a second end portion. A first manifold forms an inlet for the first fluid and further forms a plurality of first openings, whereby each of the first end portions of the parallel tubes is attached in a sealed manner to the first manifold so that each tube is in fluid communication with a respective one of the first openings. A second manifold spaced from and opposing the first manifold forms an outlet for the first fluid and further forms a plurality of second openings, whereby each of the second end portions of the parallel tubes is attached in a sealed manner to the second manifold so that each tube is in fluid communication with a respective one of the second openings. The plurality of substantially parallel tubes are laterally disposed relative to one another so that they form at least one corrugated pattern when viewed in an imaginary plane which intersects and is perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the tubes.

156293, 228175

Method for fabricating a heat exchanger which, in one aspect, includes providing a stack of a plurality of lamina each of which defines a pattern of lamina apertures, the apertures being substantially alignable in the stack; disposing a plurality of microtubes through respective aligned lamina apertures extending through and defined by the stack of lamina so as to form a subassembly, a clearance existing between each of the microtubes and their respective aligned apertures when the microtubes are so disposed; and adhering together the lamina in the stack and the plurality of microtubes so disposed while forming a seal at the clearances.

Fabrication methods for capacitive-micromachined ultrasound transducers (“cMUT”) and cMUT imaging array systems are provided. cMUT devices fabricated from low process temperatures are also provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a process temperature can be less than approximately 300 degrees Celsius. A cMUT fabrication method generally comprises depositing and patterning materials on a substrate (). The substrate () can be silicon, transparent, other materials. In an exemplary embodiment, multiple metal layers () can be deposited and patterned onto the substrate (); several membrane layers () can be deposited over the multiple metal layers (); and additional metal layers () can be disposed within the several membrane layers (). The second metal layer () is preferably resistant to etchants used to etch the third metal layer () when forming a cavity (). Other embodiments are also claimed and described.
