    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, devices, apparatuses, and systems for ultrasonic fingerprint sensing with an acoustic shielding structure. One or more layers in an ultrasonic fingerprint sensing system may reflect back ultrasonic waves due to acoustic impedance mismatch that can distort a fingerprint image. An acoustic shielding structure may be configured to absorb, store, trap, or otherwise attenuate ultrasonic waves. The acoustic shielding structure may be positioned underlying an ultrasonic sensor layer. In some implementations, the acoustic shielding structure may include a plurality of periodically spaced apart geometric features or holes in a medium.
