Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein forming the feedthrough assembly comprises forming a feedthrough, wherein forming the feedthrough comprises:
forming a via through the non-conductive substrate;
forming a conductive material in the via;
forming an external contact over the via, wherein the external contact is electrically coupled to the conductive material formed in the via; and
attaching the external contact to the outer surface of the non-conductive substrate by forming a laser bond that surrounds the via and hermetically seals the external contact to the outer surface of the non-conductive substrate, wherein the laser bond is disposed between the external contact and the outer surface of the non-conductive substrate, and further wherein the laser bond is in contact with the external contact and the outer surface of the non-conductive substrate.
