  • Patent number: 11348871
    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies. First conductive structures are formed within an insulative support material and are spaced along a first pitch. Upper regions of the first conductive structures are removed to form first openings extending through the insulative support material and over lower regions of the first conductive structures. Outer lateral peripheries of the first openings are lined with spacer material. The spacer material is configured as tubes having second openings extending therethrough to the lower regions of the first conductive structures. Conductive interconnects are formed within the tubes. Second conductive structures are formed over the spacer material and the conductive interconnects. The second conductive structures are spaced along a second pitch, with the second pitch being less than the first pitch. Some embodiments include integrated assemblies.

  • Patent number: 11318319
    Abstract: An implantable stimulator is provided having a conformable foil-like substrate, having a longitudinal axis extending from a pulse generator to a distal end of the substrate. The substrate comprising one or more adjacent polymeric substrate layers and an electrode array. The electrode array having a first and second electrode where one or more electrical interconnections are comprised in the substrate. The conformable foil-like substrate has a maximum thickness of 0.5 millimeter or less, proximate the electrodes. By providing a more easily patternable multilayer substrate, more complicated electrode array configurations may be supported, allowing a higher degree of flexibility to address transverse and/or longitudinal misalignment. By providing a relatively thin implantable electrode array user comfort may be increased through application of energy to tissue by the implantable stimulator.
