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 (9)

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

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

forming a second material layer for covering the first material layer;

after forming the second material layer, disposing the circuit board, the first material layer and the second material layer in a shell, wherein the shell is made of PEEK (polyether ether ketone); and

filling a third material layer between the second material layer and the shell.

2. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein after filling the third material layer between the second material layer and the shell, a porosity in the shell is less than 5%.

3. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first material layer and the third material layer is made of epoxy or silicone.

4. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the second material layer comprises poly-para-xylene, and the second material layer is formed by CVD (chemical vapor deposition).

5. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the second material layer comprises a combination of aluminum oxide and titanium oxide, and the second material layer is formed by ALD (atomic layer deposition).
