Abstract

A waterproof structure for an implanted electronic device is capable of preventing the liquid or moist from entering and damaging the circuit board of the electronic device. The waterproof structure includes a shell, a first material layer, a second material layer, and a third material layer. The first material layer covers at least a part of the implanted electronic device. The second material layer covers the first material layer. The internal space of the shell is configured for accommodating the implanted electronic device. The shell is made of PEEK (polyether ether ketone). The third material layer is disposed between the second material layer and the shell.

Claims (8)

1. A waterproof structure applied to a circuit board of an implanted electronic device, comprising:

a first material layer covering at least a part of the circuit board;

a second material layer covering the first material layer;

a shell having an internal space for accommodating the circuit board, wherein the shell is made of PEEK (polyether ether ketone); and

a third material layer disposed between the second material layer and the shell, wherein the first material layer and the third material layer are made of epoxy or silicone.

2. The waterproof structure of claim 1 , wherein the third material layer is disposed between the second material layer and the shell, so that a porosity in the shell is less than 5%.

3. The waterproof structure of claim 1 , wherein the second material layer comprises poly-para-xylene or a combination of aluminum oxide and titanium oxide.

4. The waterproof structure of claim 1 , wherein the shell has at least two through holes.
