5 Biomedical Applications Next-generation retinal Source: California prosthesis Institute of Technology Glass MEMS Device Cochlear Implant to restore partial hearing Challenges Hermetic sealing Localized bonding Silicon base Long term stability Source: Advanced Bionics, Corp. Biocompatibility Housing of MEMS / Hermetic sealing

6 Laser Transmission Joining Principle During laser transmission microjoining process - The laser radiation is transmitted through the partially transparent top material. It is absorbed at the surface of the bottom material. The laser radiation is converted into heat energy directly at the interface.

29 Conclusions Laser transmission microjoining of similar and dissimilar material combinations has been successfully achieved. The results demonstrate the similarities and differences between the different material systems and underscored the importance of laser microjoining technology for such applications. This study provides a database of novel joining combinations that can be commercialized for industrial applications. This technology clearly exhibits a high potential for laser joining processes to address the increasing demand for packaging applications.
