A system for the packaging of wireless electronics and sensors in a mammalian body, the system comprising:
- a package configured in a shape suitable for implantation in said body;
- said package being configured from a biocompatible material;
- and
- said biocompatible material having a high degree of radio wave transparency.
A method for the manufacture of an implantable electronics package, said method comprising:
- Placing a first biocompatible material sheet on a first mold plate;
- Patterning an antenna and metal contacts upon a top surface of said first biocompatible material sheet;
- Disposing an electronics package upon said metal contacts;
- Draping a second sheet of biocompatible material over said first biocompatible material sheet and said electronics package;
- Compressing said second sheet of biocompatible material against said top surface with a second mold plate having a recess for receiving said electronics package.
A method for creation of a hermetic seal in an implantable package, said method comprising:
- Placing a first biocompatible material sheet on a first mold plate;
- Patterning an antenna and metal contacts upon a top surface of said first biocompatible material sheet;
- Disposing an electronics package upon said metal contacts;
- Draping a second sheet of biocompatible material over said first biocompatible material sheet and said electronics package;
- laser sealing said second sheet of biocompatible material to said top surface with a second mold plate having a recess for receiving said electronics package.
