Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a feedthrough dielectric body for an active implantable medical device includes the steps of: a) forming an alumina ceramic body in a green state, or, stacking upon one another discrete layers of alumina ceramic in a green state and pressing; b) forming at least one via hole straight through the alumina ceramic body; c) filling the at least one via hole with a ceramic reinforced metal composite paste; d) drying the alumina ceramic body and the ceramic reinforced metal composite paste; e) forming a second hole straight through the ceramic reinforced metal composite paste being smaller in diameter in comparison to the at least one via hole; f) filling the second hole with a substantially pure metal paste; g) sintering the alumina ceramic body, the ceramic reinforced metal composite paste and the metal paste; and h) hermetically sealing the feedthrough dielectric body to a ferrule.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of manufacturing the feedthrough dielectric body of  claim 12 , including a step l) of inserting a solid leadwire at least partially into the counterbore or countersink and then in a step m) brazing the solid leadwire to the counterbore or countersink, the braze attaching at one end to the solid leadwire and attaching at another end to the wetting layer, wherein the solid leadwire is electrically connected to the sintered metal paste.
