Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating a miniaturized implantable device: fabricating an electronic system by monolithically integrating the electronic system on a first face of a substrate, the electronic system being configured, during operation of the implantable device, to communicate with an external device over a wireless communication link and to extract power for the implantable device from the wireless communication link; fabricating a coil by monolithically integrating the coil on the first face of the substrate, the coil being configured to provide the wireless communication link; fabricating a plurality of electrodes of an electrochemical sensor on a first metal layer separate from metal layers used to fabricate the electronic system by monolithically integrating the plurality of electrodes on the first face of the substrate, the plurality of electrodes being configured to provide electrical interface between the electrochemical sensor of the implantable device and the electronic system; and creating a plurality of wells in correspondence of the plurality of electrodes.
