In one embodiment, an implantable nerve transducer includes a first housing including a first material, the first housing defining a first chamber; a stimulator circuit positioned within the first chamber and being disposed on a first substrate including the first material, the first material being a non-metallic biocompatible material; a second housing including the first material, the second housing defining a second chamber; and a solid-state battery disposed on a second substrate including the first material, the solid-state battery being positioned within the second chamber, the second housing being mounted to the first housing, the implantable nerve transducer being configured to be implantable and configured to stimulate or sense signals from a nerve of a living organism.

Abstract: Implantable devices are provided herein, along with methods of fabricated such implantable devices. An exemplary method of fabricating an implantable device includes coupling electronics to a conductive via at a first side of a first glass substrate. The conductive via extends from the first side through the first glass substrate to a second side of the first glass substrate. The method further includes attaching a second glass substrate to cap the first side of the first glass substrate and form a hermetically sealed chamber containing the electronics, rounding edges of the implantable device after attaching the cap.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a sensor includes a capsule having a cavity and a sheath, a transducer coupled to electronic circuitry in the cavity, and a clip outside the capsule. The capsule and the clip are configured to hold in vivo an object within an opening between the capsule and the clip. The transducer is configured to detect an incoming signal indicative of a physiological parameter of the object being held, and the electronic circuitry is configured to wirelessly transmit a signal containing information about the physiological parameter obtained from the incoming signal. The sensor is part of a measurement system to measure the physiological parameter. Another embodiment describes a method using the measurement system.

Abstract: Implantable nerve transducers are provided herein, along with methods of fabricated such implantable nerve transducers. An exemplary implantable nerve transducer includes a plurality of semiconductor structures protruding from an exterior surface provided by a substrate and a plurality of conductors extending from the exterior surface of the substrate to an interior surface of the substrate and within a plurality of openings in the substrate. Each conductor is electrically coupled to one of the semiconductor structures. The exemplary implantable nerve transducer further includes one or more electronic components electrically coupled to the semiconductor structures by the conductors and a cap bonded to the substrate to provide a sealed chamber. The sealed chamber contains the one or more electronic components.
