Method Of Fabricating A Microfluidic Delivery System

View page
US Patent:
6949253, Sep 27, 2005
Filed:
Aug 5, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/635633
Inventors:
Robert J. Greenberg - Los Angeles CA, US
Brian V. Mech - Sherman Oaks CA, US
Assignee:
Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. - Sylmar CA
International Classification:
A61F002/02
US Classification:
424423
Abstract:
An implantable biocompatible microchip drug delivery substrate is coated with a thin film of ultra-nanocrystalline diamond; assuring that the device is biocompatible and impermeably sealed, to prevent the substrate from being dissolved by the living tissue and to protect the drugs from premature release or undesired reaction with the body fluids. The coating is selectively patterned by doping to create electrically conductive areas that can be used as an electrically activated release mechanism for drug delivery. The conformal ultra-nanocrystalline diamond coating uniformly covers the device, providing relief from sharp edges and producing a strong, uniformly thick impermeable coating around sharp edges and on high aspect-ratio parts. The ultra-nanocrystalline diamond coating provides a conformal coating on the biocompatible device, which is of approximately uniform thickness around sharp corners and on high aspect-ratio parts. The conformal nature of the coating assures impermeability and strength despite the presence of difficult to coat shapes.

Coated Microfluidic Delivery System

View page
US Patent:
7097775, Aug 29, 2006
Filed:
Mar 11, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/096183
Inventors:
Robert J. Greenberg - Los Angeles CA, US
Brian V. Mech - Stevenson Ranch CA, US
Assignee:
Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. - Sylmar CA
International Classification:
B23P 15/00
US Classification:
216 2, 216 39, 6042901
Abstract:
A microfluidic delivery system substrate is coated with ultra-nanocrystalline diamond (UNCD) or with a thin ceramic film, such as alumina or zirconia, that is applied by ion-beam assisted deposition; assuring that the device is impermeably sealed, to prevent the substrate from being dissolved by hostile environments and to protect the molecules from premature release or undesired reaction with hostile environments. The UNCD coating may be selectively patterned by doping to create electrically conductive areas that can be used as an electrically activated release mechanism for drug delivery. The UNCD coating provides a conformal coating, of approximately uniform thickness, around sharp corners and on high aspect-ratio parts, assuring impermeability and strength despite the need to coat difficult shapes. The microfluidic delivery system is suitable for use as an iontophoresis device, for transport of molecule, having a substrate, a reservoir in the substrate for containing the molecules.

Implantable Device Using Ultra-Nanocrystalline Diamond

View page
US Patent:
7127286, Oct 24, 2006
Filed:
Oct 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/039842
Inventors:
Brian V. Mech - Sherman Oaks CA, US
Robert J. Greenberg - Los Angeles CA, US
Assignee:
Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. - Sylmar CA
International Classification:
A61N 1/00
A61N 1/08
A61N 5/00
US Classification:
607 2, 607 53, 600300
Abstract:
An implantable biocompatible device, that may be either a sensor or stimulator, having electronic circuitry and electrodes formed on a substrate, is uniformly covered with a coating approximately one-micron thick of ultra-nanocrystalline diamond, hermetically sealing the electronic circuitry. Selected electrodes are either left uncovered during coating or uncovered by conventional patterning techniques, allowing the electrodes to be exposed to living tissue and fluids. The ultra-nanocrystalline diamond coating may be doped to create electrically conductive electrodes. These approaches eliminate the need for a hermetically sealed lid or cover to protect hybrid electronic circuitry, and thus allow the device to be thinner than otherwise possible. The conformal ultra-nanocrystalline diamond coating uniformly covers the device, providing relief from sharp edges and producing a strong, uniformly thick hermetic coating around sharp edges and on high aspect-ratio parts.

Chip Level Hermetic And Biocompatible Electronics Package Using Soi Wafers

View page
US Patent:
7190051, Mar 13, 2007
Filed:
Feb 7, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/360988
Inventors:
Brian V. Mech - Stevenson Ranch CA, US
Robert J. Greenberg - Los Angeles CA, US
Gregory J. DelMain - Maple Grove MN, US
Assignee:
Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. - Sylmar CA
International Classification:
H01L 23/58
US Classification:
257632, 257647, 257E23192
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a hermetically packaged and implantable integrated circuit for electronics that is made by producing streets in silicon-on-insulator chips that are subsequently coated with a selected electrically insulating thin film prior to completing the dicing process to yield an individual chip. A thin-layered circuit may transmit light, allowing a photodetector to respond to transmitted light to stimulate a retina, for example. Discrete electronic components may be placed in the three-dimensional street area of the integrated circuit package, yielding a completely integrated hermetic package that is implantable in living tissue.

Retinal Prosthesis With Side Mounted Inductive Coil

A61N 1/08
US Classification:
607 54, 607 53
Abstract:
The invention is a retinal prosthesis with an inductive coil mounted to the side of the eye by means of a strap around the eye. This allows for close coupling to an external coil and movement of the entire implanted portion with movement of the eye ball.
