Abstract

A sub-assembly module for surface mounting on an implantable medical device hybrid module is provided. The sub-assembly module includes one or more electronic components mounted on a substrate. Interconnection between the electronic components and the hybrid module is established by bond pads on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate and thru-substrate conducting plugs connecting respective upper and lower bond pads. The electronic components are encapsulated in a layer of insulating material. The electronic components may be chip-and-wire mounted to the sub-assembly module and the sub-assembly module may, in turn, be surface mounted to the hybrid module, permitting the integration of chip-and-wire and surface mount processing for a given hybrid module.
