Implementations described and claimed herein provide implantable electronic devices having a thin film feedthrough and methods of manufacturing the same. In one implementation, an implantable electronic device includes a housing enclosing one or more internal electronic components within a hermetic environment. A feedthrough port is defined in a wall of the housing. A thin film feedthrough has a feedthrough body extending through the feedthrough port. The feedthrough body provides one or more electrical pathways between external contacts and internal contacts. The external contacts are disposed outside the hermetic environment, and the internal contacts are electrically connected to the one or more internal electronic components at an internal connection junction. A hermetic junction is disposed in the feedthrough port isolating the thin film feedthrough from the housing.
