An implantable medical device (200) has a novel ceramic enclosure (202) with joinable multi-layered clamshells (204, 206). In the preferred embodiment one half (206) of the enclosure (202) carries the hybrid circuitry and feedthroughs of, for example, a pacemaker, while, the other half (204) carries a battery. The advantages over the prior art include higher transparency to radio frequency waves (for telemetry purposes), and reduced costs and constructions time. In a preferred embodiment, the device (200) with a ceramic enclosure (202) has a novel multi-layered ceramic feedthrough substrate in place of a prior art glass-to-metal feedthrough substrate, leading to lower costs and a higher feedthrough density. |
