Abstract: Various embodiments of a power source and method of forming such power source are disclosed. The power source can include a substrate and a cavity disposed in a first major surface of the substrate. The power source can also include radioactive material disposed within the cavity, where the radioactive material emits radiation particles; and particle converting material disposed within the cavity, where the particle converting material converts one or more radiation particles emitted by the radioactive material into light. The power source further includes a sealing layer disposed such that the particle converting material and the radioactive material are hermetically sealed within the cavity, and a photovoltaic device disposed adjacent the substrate. The photovoltaic device can convert at least a portion of the light emitted by the particle converting material that is incident upon an input surface of the photovoltaic device into electrical energy.

Abstract: A thin-film device system includes a substrate and a plurality of pillars. The plurality of pillars project from a surface of the substrate. Each of the plurality of pillars have a perimeter that includes at least four protrusions that define at least four recessed regions between the at least four protrusions. Each of the at least four recessed regions of each of the plurality of pillars receives one protrusion from an adjacent one of the plurality of pillars. A thin-film device is fabricated over the plurality of pillars.

CPC classification number: A61N1/3754 , A61N1/37223
Abstract: Various embodiments of a feedthrough assembly are disclosed. The assembly includes a header and a test fanout layer electrically connected to the header. A first major surface of the test fanout layer faces an inner surface of the header. The assembly further includes a test via extending between the first major surface and a second major surface of the test fanout layer, and a test pad disposed on the first major surface of the test fanout layer and electrically connected to the test via. At least a portion of the test pad is disposed between the outer surface of the header and a perimeter of the test fanout layer as viewed in a plane parallel to the first major surface of the test fanout layer such that the at least a portion of the test pad is exposed.
