摘要
In this work, we report a SU-8-based fully integrated miniaturized inductively powered LC transponder for generic implantable wireless sensor applications. It consists of a 1 mm diameter octagonal spiral inductor and a micro fabricated MIM (metal insulator metal) capacitor. Polyvinylidene Fluoride-Trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE) copolymer is applied as a dielectric material for the capacitor fabrication due to its high dielectric constant. The 1 mm diameter, 154 nH spiral inductor is built on top of the capacitor. The capacitor and the inductor are in parallel connection through SU-8 via holes. SU-8 is used as a packaging material due to its biocompatibility, and also it serves as an insulator between the capacitor and the spiral inductor. The operating frequencies of the LC tanks are decided by the sizes of the capacitors (45 x 45, 55 x 55, 95 x 95 and 100 x 100 mu m), and measured operating frequency range is from 385 to 485 MHz. The fabricated LC tanks are held to the power transmitting coil coaxially at distances of 2, 5, 7 and 10 mm, and rectified induced voltage at the LC tank is 8.5 V with 29 dBm input power at a 5 mm distance.
