Samtec provides innovative solutions for interconnecting chips, packages, modules, and systems throughout the electronics industry. In order to address such a large range of applications, Samtec’s focus is on innovation. This presentation will provide insight into new packaging concepts, interconnects.
As a part of Samtec’s Technology Centers, Samtec Microelectronics has provided device packaging services for medical devices and medical diagnostic equipment over the past 20 years.
For example, typical products packaged by Samtec Microelectronics are:
-
- DNA sequencing devices containing microfluidic features
- Implantable, foldable neuromodulation devices, implantable blood pressure sensors (cardiac), implantable optical prosthesis (retinal), and implantable audio sensors (ear)
- Miniaturization of endoscopes on connectors, ultrasound imagers, and MRI sensors
- DNA sequencing devices containing microfluidic features
To quote Brian Otis (CTO, Google’s Verily Life Sciences), “Our mission is to bring together technology and life sciences to uncover new truths about health and disease.” Samtec has and will continue to partner with biomedical companies to enable and ensure successful product development and production. By making use of all of Samtec’s resources, Samtec can provide more comprehensive package integration solutions for our clients.
Key takeaways of this presentation are the answers to the following questions:
o What are the key biomedical packaging technologies?
o What are the elements of innovation and integration in new biomedical packages and interconnects?
o How can miniaturization principles be implemented in biomedical packaging?
o In order to deploy disruptive biomedical technologies, what are the roles of new materials, manufacturing processes, and even new packaging equipment?
