Abstract

See full text

A method of encapsulating a lead bonding pad region of an integrated circuit (such as a sensor used in an implantable medical device) is disclosed. The excapsulant (such as Teflon.TM.-TFE) is mechanically gripped on the surface of the circuit by anchor interlock portions which are held in undercut grooves, micromachined, in a predefined pattern, in the circuit substrate. The encapsulant is held down by the portions in the grooves, forms a tight mechanical seal with the substrate surface and with the insulation around an attached lead, and blocks intrusion of contaminants along the surfaces between these materials or through the encapsulant.
