Electronics packaging technologies for the volume integration in components for medical tools and instruments

Abstract

The electronics packaging in microsystems technology for medical applications includes various tasks. The interdisciplinary approach is the most important basis for the success of a product. For the reliable operation of medical microsystems different factors must be considered. The functionalization of a catheter depends on different influence factors. The form factor takes the most important role. For a miniaturized and functional catheter tip, the diameter depends on the medical application. Other factors like the shape, reliability and also the cost must be considered. The paper shows the whole technology carrier of a medical product in relation to the field of electronics packaging.
