Abstract
A method for producing an implantable medical device (IMD) includes forming a channel along a surface of a housing of the IMD, and depositing a conductive material into the channel to at least partially fill the channel and form an antenna of the IMD on the housing. The method also includes electrically connecting the antenna to communication circuitry contained within the housing to facilitate wireless communication with at least one of a second IMD or an external device.
