A feedthrough assembly for an implantable medical device includes one or more electrically conductive pins extending through apertures in a case of the medical device with the electrically conductive pins being insulated from the case. The feedthrough assembly further includes a printed circuit board having a diode protection circuit mounted thereon. The printed circuit board forms at least a part of electrically conductive paths for connection of the electrically conductive pins to a medical device circuit assembly mounted within the case. The printed circuit board further provides for electrical connection of the diode protection circuit mounted thereon between the electrically conductive pins and the case.

In one embodiment, a testing regimen is implemented to reduce test time. Specifically, a structure and method to power up and stabilize all die on the wafer prior to testing each die is implemented. More specifically, parallel powering schemes including die stabilization procedures are used to ready the wafer for testing. A wafer probe tester is indexed from one die to the next for an uninterrupted testing of all die in the wafer subsequent to all die power up and stabilization.

A hybrid integrated circuit in a wafer level package for an implantable medical device includes one or more passive component windings formed, at least in part, along one or more routing layers of the package. The windings may be primary and secondary windings of a transformer, wherein all or part of a magnetic core thereof is embedded in a component layer of the wafer level package. If the core includes a part bonded to a surface of the package, that part of the core may be E-shaped with legs extending into the routing layers, and, in some cases, through the routing layers. Routing layers may be formed on both sides of the component layer to accommodate the transformer windings, in some instances.

Arrays of planar solid state batteries are stacked in an aligned arrangement for subsequent separation into individual battery stacks. Prior to stacking, a redistribution layer (RDL) is formed over a surface of each wafer that contains an array; each RDL includes first and second groups of conductive traces, each of the first extending laterally from a corresponding positive battery contact, and each of the second extending laterally from a corresponding negative battery contact. Conductive vias, formed before or after stacking, ultimately couple together corresponding contacts of aligned batteries. If before, each via extends through a corresponding battery contact of each wafer and is coupled to a corresponding conductive layer that is included in another RDL formed over an opposite surface of each wafer. If after, each via extends through corresponding aligned conductive traces and, upon separation of individual battery stacks, becomes an exposed conductive channel of a corresponding battery stack.

Methods and apparatus are provided for an accelerometer. The apparatus includes first, second, and third substrates. The first substrate includes the first plate of a first capacitor. The second substrate includes a moveable mass that is coupled to the second substrate by at least one spring. The moveable mass is the second plate of the first capacitor and the first plate of a second capacitor. The third substrate includes the second plate of the second capacitor. The moveable mass is prevented from moving in any direction where the at least one spring is inelastically flexed. The first substrate couples to the second substrate. The third substrate couples to the second substrate. The method includes forming a moveable mass in a substrate. The moveable mass is formed having a plurality of springs coupling the moveable mass to the substrate. The moveable mass is released using a dry etch.
