Abstract
The present invention provides a packaging technique and apparatus that incorporates a flexible substrate package with a three-axis magnetic sensor for three-axis sensing in an implantable medical device. The apparatus includes three single-axis magnetic sensor integrated circuits (ICs) that are mounted to a substrate and encapsulated with a polymer mold compound. The substrate is excised around each of the sensor ICs to form panels that are folded to align the three single-axis sensors in the x, y and z axis.
