5 MEMS Pressure Sensors in Medical Devices
6 Micro Electro Mechanical Systems Micro Feature sizes range 0.5 um to 1 mm Electrical sensing/actuation Capacitive Piezoelectric Piezoresistive Mechanical devices with a third dimension Systems Multiple functions on one piece of silicon AMFitzgerald AMFitzgerald IMD Page 6
7 Birth of MEMS Evolved from semiconductor processes 1970 s: using silicon processing to make mechanical devices, not transistors Accelerometers Pressure sensors Inkjet nozzles 1982: Petersen s Silicon as a Mechanical Material Popular Science, June 1984 Page 7
8 Why MEMS are exciting for medical applications Ease of electronics integration enables sophisticated capabilities in small form factor: Signal processing and analysis Wireless capability Battery-less operation (power/read) Telemetry for medical sensor network (with cell phone) Integrated Pressure Sensor Source: IMD MEMS sensor Stacked MEMS and ASIC chips, wirebonded Source: Chipworks/Kionix Page 8
9 MEMS Pressure Sensors Used in non-invasive medical equipment since 1980 s Respiratory equipment Blood pressure cuffs Invasive uses increasing Guidewire, catheter tip sensors Many manufacturers: GE Sensors Measurement Specialties Silicon Microstructures ISSYS Tronics Source: GE Source: ISSYS Page 9
10 St. Jude Medical: CardioMEMS Pressure Sensor FDA-approved Aorta stent graft monitoring Pulmonary artery pressure measurement Mean pressure, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, heart rate and cardiac output Capacitive pressure sensor with wireless readout, catheter deployed Readout at doctor s office Inductor coil Source: CardioMEMS 30 x 5 x 1.5 mm Nitinol wire basket Fused silica (glass) capacitive pressure sensor Page 10

Piezoresistive pressure sensor Source: KTH, Sweden Page 11
12 Sensimed Triggerfish IOP monitor Continuous intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement for glaucoma diagnosis Size: 2.2mm x 2.5mm x 50microns Disposable lens Strain gage with wireless telemetry Under evaluation in Europe Page 12 Recorder syncs with doctor s computer via Bluetooth
13 Basic principles: MEMS pressure sensors Piezoresistive Capacitive Cross section Cross section Plan view Source: Tronics Page 13
14 Common embodiment: passive LC resonant sensors Battery-free Power limited by inductor coil size Large, external reader with power source From: Yvanoff and Venkataraman, Implantable LC Sensors for Biotelemetry Page 14
15 MEMS pressure sensors: typical specs Piezoresistive Capacitive Value Resistor change, mω Capacitor change, pf Readout Wheatstone bridge ASIC, digital Type Absolute or gage Absolute or gage Pressure range (mmhg) Edge length (mm) Thickness (mm) Wireless readout Not typical Yes Page 15
16 MEMS pressure sensors available today Vendor Acuity GE Murata Model AC3030 P161 SCB10H Type Piezoresistive Piezoresistive Capacitive Pressure Range 0 to to to 900 (mmhg) Die Size (mm) 1.6 x 1.6 x x 0.7 x x 1.4 x 0.85 Many more available Page 16
17 How MEMS are made
18 Silicon the purest material refined by humans Start Finish Semiconductor wafer Silicon dioxide Pulling crystals Ingot Solar cell wafer Page 18
19 Silicon process technology Developed to make transistors and integrated circuits Silicon wafer Material deposition Lithographic patterning Material etch back Repeat for multiple layers Microprocessor Images from: Page 19
20 Wafer dicing Similar to cutting tile A pressure sensor wafer may have 50,000+ die! Dicing leaves sharp corners and edges Page 20
21 Die attach and wire-bonding 25 micron (1 mil) gold wire Die attach epoxy Page 21
22 Typical package architecture pressure, microphones Source: Freescale pressure sensor Page 22
23 Challenge of packaging MEMS sensors for medical Rigid, brittle rectangle Flexible, round tube MEMS/IC packaging techniques and materials were originally developed to place chips on rigid printed circuit boards Page 23
24 Packaging challenges Packaging is ~70% of unit cost of a MEMS sensor Where MEMS companies spend the most time and effort during development Invasive or implant use of MEMS further complicates packaging/assembly Mechanical stress management Hermeticity Fracture protection Electrical interconnect Wide variety of pressure sensor packages Page 24
25 Environmental challenges Medical environment Moisture Radiation Magnetic fields Sterilization Biocompatibility Sharp edges on chip are thrombogenic Silicon s biocompatibility not yet established Chips will need some level of encapsulation Silicones, parylenes Page 25
26 Buy vs. Make Many MEMS pressure sensors available off the shelf Low prices ($ $2.00 per sensor) Reliability data available Many IDMs restrict use in invasive medical applications Generally sized/spec d for consumer electronics apps Customization attractive, but: Low volume MEMS have high unit costs (> $5 per sensor) Environmental and reliability qualification testing is expensive Custom development is long (> 3 years) and expensive (> $1M simple sensor, > $5M complex sensor with ASIC) Page 26
27 AMFitzgerald s RocketMEMS : Semi-custom sensors Customizable pressure sensors for OEMs and system integrators Based on AMFitzgerald reference designs Low cost, fast turn time (~6 months) 1. Customer provides desired sensor specification 2. AMFitzgerald tailors sensor design to meet customer s spec 3. ISO-certified foundry manufactures wafers Page 27 Variety of RocketMEMS Pressure Sensors 4. AMFitzgerald tests and delivers sensors to customer
28 Summary MEMS pressure sensors present a huge opportunity for medical devices, particularly for invasive and implantable uses Sophisticated sensor functions Electronics system integration Clinically-relevant data Integration challenges are primarily in packaging and assembly Solutions will be specific to usage and form factor We can help you find the right solution for your product Page 28
