Abstract

The application provides a ceramic-based electric interconnection feedthrough substrate and a preparation method thereof. The substrate comprises a ceramic substrate, an upper insulating layer, a lower insulating layer, an upper pad and a lower pad. The ceramic substrate is internally provided with an electric interconnection microcolumn array formed by electrically conductive microcolumns. The upper insulating layer is located above the ceramic substrate. The lower insulating layer is located below the ceramic substrate. The upper insulating layer and the lower insulating layer are internally provided with a via array formed by a plurality of insulating layer vias. The positions of the insulating layer vias correspond to the positions of the electrically conductive microcolumns. The diameter of the insulating layer vias is smaller than the diameter of the electrically conductive microcolumns. The upper pad is located above the upper insulating layer and fills the insulating layer vias on the upper insulating layer and the gap between the upper insulating layer and the electrically conductive microcolumns. The lower pad is located below the lower insulating layer and fills the insulating layer vias on the lower insulating layer and the gap between the lower insulating layer and the electrically conductive microcolumns. The application realizes a biocompatible air-tight electric interconnection feedthrough which can be integrated with a flexible implantable electrode.
