Advanced hermetic packaging for medical applications
The medical industry has experienced various trends such as miniaturization, increased performance of measurement devices, and more health data access and transparency. Hermetic seals and packages enable these trends to scale in a reliable way. Electronic Products (EPI) manufactures hermetic packages using glass-to-metal and HTCC technologies for the transmission of power and signal in compact, robust hermetic packages.
Diagnostic equipment requires protection of components and sensors to operate effectively. Environmental factors can include EMI, RFI, radiation, and moisture. EPI offers glass-to-metal, ceramic, and hybrid glass-ceramic packages to create customized solutions for medical equipment. Medical hermetic packages are designed in compact designs with the ability to dissipate heat in high power microelectronic applications. Multilayer ceramic packages expand design engineer capabilities to miniaturize designs without sacrificing performance.
Glass-to-metal seals remain some of the most robust, traditional seals in the medical industry. TO headers and caps hermetically seal sensing elements from thermopiles to ultrasonic sensors. Customization allows EPI to make some high-density configurations with customization of plating and materials to produce the exact solution required.
