One aspect provides a housing for an implantable medical device, the housing including a metal substrate having an external surface, and a polymer coating disposed on the external surface of the metal housing, the polymer coating comprising at least one layer of polymer material.

Implantable medical device housing having polymer coating

One aspect relates to a layered structure with a substrate, a first layer over the substrate, and a second layer over the first layer. The substrate and the second layer are an electrically conductive material and the first layer is an insulating material or the substrate and the second layer are insulating material and the first layer is electrically conductive material. At least one of the first and second layers comprises an electrically conductive polymer.

Multi-layered structure

One aspect relates to a method for producing a layered structure, including providing a substrate, forming a first layer onto at least part of the substrate, the first layer being a first polymer, and forming a second layer onto at least part of the first layer, the second layer being a second polymer. The substrate and the second layer are electrically conductive and the first layer is insulating or the substrate and the second layer are insulating and the first layer is electrically conductive. Forming each of the first and second layers includes forming such that each layer is no more than one tenth of the thickness of the substrate.
