Technology Advances and Challenges in Hermetic Packaging for Implantable Medical Devices
Many implantable medical devices contain sophisticated electronic circuits. Hermetic packaging is required to provide the implant’s electronic circuitry with protection from the harsh environment of the human body. This chapter provides a review of available hermetic sealing methods and their applications. General considerations of implantable medical device packaging are discussed. Various tes...
متن کاملImplantable Biomedical Devices
Almost a decade after the invention of the first semiconductor transistor in 1948, it took around a decade for the revolutionary technology to evolve from producing single devices to the integration of a few transistors as the first integrated circuit in 1958. Since then, integrated circuits have been in continuous progress for more than half a century as predicted by the well-known Moore’s law...

متن کاملAn Ultra-low Power Robust Kogge- Stone Adder at Sub-threshold Voltages for Implantable Bio-medical Devices
The growing demand for energy constrained applications and portable devices have created a dire need for ultra-low power circuits. Implantable biomedical devices such as pacemakers need ultra-low power circuits for a better battery life for uninterrupted biomedical data processing. Circuits operating in subthreshold region minimize the energy per operation, thus providing a better platform for ...
متن کاملCorrosion of silicon integrated circuits and lifetime predictions in implantable electronic devices.
Corrosion is a prime concern for active implantable devices. In this paper we review the principles underlying the concepts of hermetic packages and encapsulation, used to protect implanted electronics, some of which remain widely overlooked. We discuss how technological advances have created a need to update the way we evaluate the suitability of both protection methods. We demonstrate how lif...
