摘要:
A hermetic feedthrough for an implantable medical device includes an insulator, a conduit configured to conduct electricity through the insulator, and a ferrule coupled to the insulator. The insulator is formed from a ceramic material and the conduit and insulator have a co-fired bond therebetween, which hermetically seals the conduit with the insulator. The insulator is elongate and has opposing ends that include flat surfaces and the ferrule includes a frame for receiving the insulator.

A hermetic feedthrough for an implantable medical device includes an insulator, a conduit integrated with the insulator, and a pad coupled to an exterior surface of the insulator. The insulator includes a first material and the conduit includes a second material that is electrically conductive. The pad is configured to receive a lead coupled thereto. Further, the pad is electrically conductive and coupled to the conduit. The pad includes a first layer and a second layer overlaying at least a portion of the first layer.

A hermetic feedthrough for an implantable medical device includes a sheet having a hole, where the sheet includes a ceramic comprising alumina. The feedthrough also includes a second material substantially filling the hole, where the second material includes a platinum powder mixture and an alumina additive. The platinum powder mixture includes a first platinum powder having a median particle size of between approximately 3 and 10 micrometers and a second platinum powder that is coarser than the first platinum powder and has a median particle size of between approximately 5 and 20 micrometers. The platinum powder mixture includes between approximately 50 and 80 percent by weight of the first platinum powder and between approximately 20 and 50 percent by weight of the second platinum powder. The first and second materials have a co-fired bond therebetween that hermetically seals the hole.

摘要:
A power device has its main junction formed in a central portion of an N-type substrate. A P-type layer is formed in a peripheral surface portion of the substrate. A P−-type RESURF layer of a lower impurity concentration than the P-type layer is formed outside and in contact with the P-type layer. An N+-channel stopper layer is formed in an edge surface portion of the substrate. The channel stopper layer is separated from the RESURF layer by a predetermined distance. A recess is formed in that surface portion of the substrate between the P-type layer and the channel stopper layer, which includes a surface portion of the RESURF layer. A semiconductive film is formed in the recess. The RESURF layer has an impurity concentration of about 1015-1016 atoms/cm3 where it contacts the semiconductive film.

Continuously after forming a semiconductive film, a conducting film is formed on the semiconductive film. This conducting film serves as a block film for blocking diffusion of oxygen when a heated wafer is transferred from a furnace to the atmosphere. As a result, oxygen is prevented from entering the semiconductive film from the outside and diffusing therein. Further, after protecting the semiconductive film, the conducting film is entirely removed by etching.
