Abstract
An active implantable medical device (AIMD) has a high-purity fused silica wafer assembly micro-bonded to the housing for the device's electrical energy power source. During the micro-bonding process, electromagnetic radiation passes through the fused silica wafer but impinges on the metal housing to create a micro-bond at the interface between the two materials. A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly resides inside a power source housing recess closed by the micro-bonded fused silica wafer. Two conductive pathways extend through the fused silica wafer from electrodes supported on a body fluid side of the wafer to the PCB. The PCB, in turn, is connected to the power source to energize the electrodes for providing stimulation therapy to a patient or for sensing biological signals from the patient.
