  1. In-vivo Blood Pressure Sensor Anup Pillai Dhanya Premkumar Nair

  2. Background • Long-Term Implantable Blood Pressure Monitoring System • Wireless Battery less In VIVO Blood PressureSensing Micro system

  3. Objective • The sensor specified earlier exhibits increased noise levels • The transmitter of the same dissipated 80% of the system power • Our objectives are: a) To find a solution that will exhibit less noise levels b) To find ways of having a more power efficient transmitter for the sensor

  4. Timelines

  5. Objective 1 • To find a solution which exhibits less noise levels • We began by investigating the reason for the high noise levels in the current design

  6. Reason for noise • Animal body vapor penetration into the device • Affect the functioning of the electrical connections within the sensor.

  7. The in vivo blood pressure sensor inside an actual lab rat

  8. The damage caused • The high impedance node can be highly sensitive to vapor penetration • Electrical connections between the sensor diaphragm and IC chip

  9. Solution proposed • Protection for moisture penetration is required for the sensor diaphragm as well as the electrical connections between the sensor diaphragm and IC chip.

  10. Solution proposed: • A passivation layer, such as silicon dioxide (SiO2) and silicon nitride (Si3N4), can be deposited on the top of diaphragm. • An encapsulant material with strong moisture resistance can be used to protect the bond wires between the sensor and IC before applying silicone passivation layer.

  11. Conclusion • Improve packaging methods • This will enhance the reliability of the micro system for long-term blood pressure monitoring
