Abstract: A digital biomedical device includes a substrate forming a cavity, a seal formed around the cavity, a lid coupled to the substrate by the seal, a reactive metal structure comprising a plurality of metal layers, wherein the reactive metal structure is a component of at least one of the substrate and the lid, a metal trace configured to initiate a self-propagating reaction between the plurality of metal layers of the reactive metal structure and release contents of the cavity, and a power supply configured to apply an electric current to the metal trace. The device is used to deliver substances to the body in a controlled manner. Also disclosed is a method of activating said device to release its contents.

Abstract: Batteries include an anode structure, a cathode structure, and a conductive overcoat. The anode structure includes an anode substrate, an anode formed on the anode substrate, and an anode conductive liner that is in contact with the anode. The cathode structure includes a cathode substrate, a cathode formed on the cathode substrate, and a cathode conductive liner that is in contact with the cathode. The conductive overcoat is formed over the anode structure and the cathode structure to seal a cavity formed by the anode structure and the cathode structure. At least one of the anode substrate and the cathode substrate is pierced by through vias that are in contact with the respective anode conductive liner or cathode conductive liner.

Abstract: A microbattery structure (101) for hermetically sealed microbatteries is provided. The microbattery structure (101) includes a first silicon substrate (1001) containing at least one pedestal which houses a cathode material (1601) of a microbattery and at least one depression (1003, 1004) which houses a first sealant material (1301) of the microbattery, the structure further includes a second silicon substrate (201) containing at least one pedestal which houses an anode material (601) of the microbattery and at least one depression (202, 204) which houses a second sealant material (801) of the microbattery. An insulated centerpiece (1401) is bonded to the first sealant material (1301) present in at least two depressions (202,204) on the first silicon substrate (1001). An interlock structure is formed by aligning and superimposing the second silicon substrate (201) on the first silicon substrate (1001) in a mortise and tenon fashion and sealing the two substrates (1001, 201) using a high force.

Abstract: The absorption properties of both an adhesive layer and an ablation layer are employed to facilitate debonding of a device wafer and a glass handler without damaging the device wafer. The penetration depths of the adhesive and ablation layers are selected such that no more than a negligible amount of the ablation fluence reaches the surface of the device wafer.
