Patent number: 10952332Abstract: This invention provides methods for the processing of platinum metallized high temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) components with minimum deleterious reactions between platinum and the glass constituents of the ceramic-glass body. The process comprises co-firing a multilayer laminate green ceramic-glass body with via structures filled with a platinum powder-based material in a reducing atmosphere with a specified level of oxygen partial pressure. The oxygen partial pressure should be maintained above a minimum threshold value for a given temperature level.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Second Sight Medical Products, Inc.Inventors: Jerry Ok, Honggang Jiang
