Method of forming an implantable electronic device chip level hermetic and biocompatible electronics package using SOI wafers
The invention is directed to a hermetically packaged and implantable integrated circuit for electronics that is made my producing streets in silicon-on-insulator chips that are subsequently coated with a selected electrically insulating thin film prior to completing the dicing process to yield an individual chip. A thin-layered circuit may transmit light, allowing a photodetector to respond to transmitted light to stimulate a retina, for example. Discrete electronic components may be placed in the three-dimensional street area of the integrated circuit package, yielding a completely integrated hermetic package that is implantable in living tissue.
