The invention relates to a method for producing a hermetic housing for an electronic device and to a device with an at least partially hermetically sealed housing.

Hermetic housings for electronic devices are generally known They protect the electronic devices against external influences and are liquid-tight and / or gas-tight. Conversely, the environment of the environment may also be a criterion to consider when using hermetic enclosures if the electronic device poses a danger to this environment. By way of example, medical implants are cited (e.g., pacemakers, insulin pumps, and the like) that require protection of the electronic device from contact with bodily fluids, but also require the device to be protected from uncontrolled release of hazardous substances by the device. In particular, care must be taken in such an application that the housing itself does not emit hazardous substances. Conventional production methods for such arrangements are thus comparatively complicated.

For the production of such, hermetically sealed housing, in particular of transparent materials such as glass, it is already known to close these housing laser radiation, for example, to use ultrashort pulses of such laser beams. Such methods and devices are known inter alia from JP 2005/66629 A and WO 2008/035770 or EP 1 741 510 A1. A disadvantage of these methods and devices that they can be used only for connecting planar components. N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:32

Producing / providing a hollow body of glass having at least one opening;

Introducing, positioning and / or fixing at least one electronic device by the at least one opening hermetically closing the receiving space by fusing the housing or

Closing and welding the at least one opening by means of laser radiation.

As a result, a hermetic housing for an electronic device can be produced in a simple manner. By fusing the opening (s), the housing can be made entirely of the same material, namely glass.

Thus, on the one hand, a good protection of the electronic device, but on the other hand, a good protection of the environment in which the device is operated, guaranteed glass is resistant to most chemical substances and does not even off substances, that is, they are inert in particular mentioned properties for borosilicate glass or other same properties airfwetsen-glass types.

Further advantageous embodiments of the manufacturing method will become apparent from the following description, in particular in conjunction with the figures.

It is advantageous if a Wärmeisoiator or a heat protection layer is disposed between the device and the melting or welding area, or if between the electronic device and at least one of the two end walls, a heat insulation device is arranged. On this N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:33 No .: R235 P.006 / 067 25 14:29:57 28-08-2012 7/67 3

In this way, the electronic device can be effectively protected from the resulting heat during the separation or welding process. It is advantageous if in a tubular housing through the at least one opening a plurality of longitudinally spaced devices introduced, positioned and / or fixed, whereupon the housing by means of laser radiation by emitting nano- and / or pico-seconds energy pulses or heated with continuous energy input in the intermediate region between the electronic devices and is closed by exerted on the inside and outside of the housing in the region of the separation point in the longitudinal direction of the housing different sized forces on both sides of the intermediate region, the tubular housing with an end wall. In particular, during the separating and / or closing operation of the tubular housing on the inner and outer side of the housing in the region of the separation point different sized forces can be exerted in the longitudinal direction of the housing. In Spezieflen the inside and outside of the housing can be acted upon in the region of the separation point with a different pressure force during the separation and / or Verschließvoigangs of the tubular housing. In this way, the housing can be made particularly efficient. In particular, the housing can be designed flexfcel by the different sized forces. In this context, it is also advantageous if an end wall of the housing is heated by emitting the end region of the middle part by means of a laser by emitting nano- and / or pico-seconds energy impulses and by exerting on the inside and outside of the housing in the region of the separation point. te different sized forces in the longitudinal direction of the housing an end wall is formed. As a result, the end wall can be formed without the need for a separate component.

It is also advantageous if an intermediate wall is inserted into the interior and welded to the housing and the two receiving spaces are hermetically separated from each other. In particular, it is advantageous if in an initial hermetically sealed storage space an electronic device N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:33

It is advantageous, in particular, if at least one of the following elements, such as electronic device, analysis device, measuring sensor, is arranged in a receiving space adjacent to the first hermetically sealed receiving space. This makes it possible to arrange different components of the electronic device in different receiving spaces. For example, a gas sensor in a receiving space and evaluation electronics can be arranged in another receiving space in order to protect the evaluation electronics, for example, from reactive gases which reach the gas sensor.

It is particularly advantageous if the housing has at least one opening which extends from the outside at least in one of the two partitions and which is permeable to air and / or liquid. In this way a connection can be provided from the analysis device or the sensor to the surroundings of the housing. For example, a gas sensor can examine the air surrounding the housing. Of course, the measurement is not limited to gases, but also liquids can be examined. For example, the sensor can be designed as a ph value sensor for liquids.

In this context, it is advantageous if the analysis and evaluation unit is designed to analyze and evaluate body fluids and / or tissue samples. Because of the small dimensions of the housing, it can be used well in the human or animal body.

It is particularly advantageous if openings are arranged in the intermediate wall between the first hermetic receiving space and the second hermetic receiving space, which are hermetically sealed by optical fibers, electrical lines or conductive contact masses. As a result, for example, data and / or energy can be exchanged between the two recording rooms. For example, electrical, optical, pneumatic or hydraulic lines can be provided.

It is advantageous if the dew point of the water vapor in the air in the housing at least in its hermetically sealed subspace at 0 ° C is preferably between - 10 ° C and -30 ° C. In this way, fogging of the inner walls of the housing can be prevented at its operating temperature.

It is furthermore advantageous if the cell space is formed in a water vapor-tight manner with a water vapor permeability Sd greater than 2,500 m. In this way, in particular a diffusion of water vapor into the housing and, as a consequence, an undesirable increase in the atmospheric humidity within the same can be avoided. It is favorable if a camera is introduced into the cavity or if an image acquisition device, for example an image recognition chip, is arranged in the housing. In this way, the resulting device can be used for observation, with the transparent housing proving to be a particular advantage. It is also favorable if a radio module and / or a transponder is introduced into the hollow space. This makes it possible that data is read from the electronic device or transferred to this.

It is particularly advantageous if a motor-driven mass is introduced into the hollow space. In this way, it is possible to move the housing with the electronic device. For this purpose, the said mass can be moved translationally and / or rotationally. Due to the resulting counterforce or the counter torque that is generated, the housing is set in motion with the electronic device. It is particularly advantageous in this drive that the housing must have no openings to the outside.

It is also advantageous if a recoil drive is introduced with a passage opening in the housing in the cavity. This is another way to get the case moving with the electronic device. For example, pumps, compressors and also pressurized containers whose contents are discharged in a controlled manner can be used. Advantageous N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:35

It is particularly advantageous if a tritium gas light source is arranged in the hollow body. In particular, if a camera is also arranged in the hollow body, such a particularly advantageous arrangement results since the tritium gas light source can illuminate the field of view of the camera without the need for external energy. Alternatively or additionally, an LED or a phosphor with afterglow properties can also be arranged in the housing. It is advantageous if the subspace is gas-tight, in particular tritium gas-tight, formed thereby the escape of a gas, in particular of a Zerfellsstrahlung emitting tritium gas can be avoided in another subspace or in the environment of the housing.

It is advantageous if at least one end of a tubular base body is fused / welded to produce the housing. This makes it possible to close one end or both ends of the tube without the aid of additives.

It is particularly advantageous if, for the production of the housing, a tubular base body is separated by melting, wherein the molten material closes the resulting ends. The production of the housing is thus particularly rational, since in one step the tubular base body and at the same time one end of two Housing is molded. The tube itself can, for example, also have a polygonal-shaped, in particular square, and oval cross-section in addition to a circular cross-section.

It is particularly advantageous in this context, when the tubular body is claimed during the separation process in the region of the separation point to train.

It is advantageous if microbores are arranged in the housing, which are permeable to gas but liquid impermeable. In this way, the electronic device can be cooled, especially when it is operated in a liquid.

It is particularly advantageous if the housing with the electronic device is introduced into another hermetic glass housing in which microbores are arranged which are gas-permeable but liquid-impermeable. In this way, the electronic device can be cooled without being exposed to the gas passing through the micro-bores. This is particularly advantageous for sensitive electronic devices and / or aggressive gases. It is advantageous if holes are arranged in the housing for the passage of metallic wires and / or Lichtieitfasem.

It is advantageous if the housing consists of two housing parts and the two housing parts by means of laser radiation with energy output in the nano- and / or pico-seconds range, pulsed or continuously, are welded together. In this way, the energy required for welding can be dosed well and thus effectively protect the electronic device from the effects of heat. It is advantageous if the output of the energy of the laser pulses is controlled by a control device such that the temperature inside the housing is in a range equal to or greater than 2 mm away from the weld seam or the exposure point of the laser beams below a value of 200 ° is maintained. In this case, it can be assumed with very high probability that the electronic device is not damaged by the action of the laser radiation.

It is particularly advantageous if, during the application of the heat energy by the laser radiation, the regions adjacent to the weld seam are cooled. In this way, the electronic device can be better protected from the heat generated by the laser radiation.

It is advantageous if the method for producing a hermetic housing for an electronic device comprises raging steps:

In this way, in particular cuboidal or planar housing för electronic devices can be formed. It is particularly advantageous if the one housing part is formed by a plate-shaped cover layer.

It is advantageous if the said method additionally comprises the following steps:

It is advantageous if at least a part of the housing or the cover layer is produced diffusely. As a result, the surface light emission can be further improved. But it is also favorable if at least a part of the housing or the cover layer is opaque. In this way, the penetration of light through areas of the housing or even through the entire housing can be prevented. In particular, these opaque areas are suitable for forming a mask. It is favorable if the diffuse or opaque parts of the housing or of the cover layer are arranged adjacent to the melting or welding areas. This makes it possible to connect diffuse and opaque housing parts with each other and so schassen different parts of the housing.

It is also advantageous if at least a part of the housing or of the cover layer is provided with a functional coating, e.g. a film is provided. in particular, the functional coating, e.g. the film should be diffused or opaque. In this way, it is possible, for example, to structurally optically differentiate a housing with essentially homogeneous optical properties.

It is advantageous if the at least partially hermetically sealed housing made of silicon is made in one piece from a single base material. Since the housing is in one piece, the tightness of the same can be ensured particularly well. It is also favorable if the at least partially hermetically sealed housing made of silicon consists of several housing parts and is at least made of a single base material. As a result, the production of the housing can be carried out in a simple manner, since the joining of the parts is generally unproblematic because of the use of only one material. It is also favorable if the housing parts are formed from different materials which have substantially the same physical and chemical properties. As a result, the production of the housing can also be done in a simple manner, since the joining of parts made of materials with similar properties is usually unproblematic.

It is advantageous if the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer is produced by coating the housing part and / or the housing parts with an adhesive and then applying a fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance to the adhesive layer. As a result, it is also possible to use fluorescent and / or phosphorescent media for the coating which have little or no adhesive or adhesive properties. The coating of the housing part with the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent material (for example ZnS and / or ZnO) can be carried out, for example, by stamping or by sputtering.

It is particularly advantageous if the adhesive and / or the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance or the fluorescent / phosphorescent layer is applied to the housing part and / or the housing parts before the cavity is produced. This allows the housing to be N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:39

For example, the layers can be sprayed on or rolled on, in particular with the aid of masks. It is also conceivable, for example, to print or stamp the layers. It is also favorable if the adhesive and / or the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance or the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer is introduced through the at least one feed opening into the (finished) cavity. As a result, large-area (and in particular unstructured) luminous layers can be produced in a simple manner.

It is particularly advantageous if the adhesive is applied to the housing part and / or the housing cell before the cavity is produced, and the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance is introduced into the cavity through the at least one inlet opening. In this variant, therefore, the selective wetting of the housing part and / or the housing parts is combined with adhesive with a simple deposition of the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent material. This results in a simple process for producing structured luminous surfaces.

In general, the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance can be introduced as a powder, as a gel, in gas phase or as a solution. In particular, the flow behavior of said substance can be improved by providing a microstructure or nanostructure.

Advantageous possibilities for applying the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substances on the housing part are on-potting, vapor deposition, spraying, rolling or spin coating. It is favorable if the depression in the housing part is produced mechanically (eg by milling, ultrasonic drilling) or by means of ion beam, laser beam removal, powder blasting or chemical etching.

It is advantageous if a mask is arranged between the housing parts or on the same, in particular the mask can also be arranged between the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer and at least one housing part. Darret makes it possible, for example, to produce luminous letters, numbers, symbols and geometric avengers without having to pattern the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer for this purpose. Instead, an unstructured fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer is combined with a structured mask which partially transmits or partially reflects or absorbs the light generated. It is favorable if the housing parts and, if appropriate, the mask are bonded by means of fusion bonding, e.g. at temperatures of 700-800 ° C, to be interconnected. The interfaces of the connected parts are held together by the Van der Waal forces. It is also favorable if the housing parts and, if appropriate, the mask are connected by means of anodic bonding, e.g. at temperatures of 350-450eC. In this method, a chemical bond at the interfaces of the parts to be joined by electrical attraction forces, that is, by applying an electrical voltage is initiated.

It is advantageous if the at least one feed opening is welded by means of a laser. This makes it possible to close the inlet opening without the aid of additives. At this point it is noted that methods for welding glass parts by means of a laser are known per se, for example from EP 1 741 510 A1.

In particular, by the use of zinc sulfide (ZnS) and Tiitium gas, the self-luminous body is realized with means which are proven in connection with Tritlum gas lights, so that it can be assumed that the high reliability of the proposed housing.

It is advantageous in this case if phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is applied as the adhesive and zinc sufide (ZnS) is introduced as the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance. It has a favorable effect that phosphoric acid per se does not have excessive adhesive properties and forms an adhesive layer only in combination with zinc sufide (ZnS). The adhesive present in the form of phosphoric acid can thus be applied in a very differentiated manner, as a result of which fine structures can be produced. For example, the phosphoric acid may be applied by the ink jet method.

However, it is also advantageous if a mixture of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and zinc suflage (ZnS) is applied as the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer. In this variant, therefore, an inherently adhesive substance is applied to a housing part This variant is therefore particularly suitable for printing (for example by means of the cheese-embossing method or stamping). It is favorable if at least one of the housing parts is provided with support elements distributed over the surface of the cavity, which extend in the direction of the other housing part and the housing parts are supported on one another via these support elements. In this way wildly avoided that the housing parts can over-bend against each other. It is favorable, moreover, if at least one of the two housing parts is connected to the support elements.

In this way, the light-emitting surface is relatively large in relation to the volume of the self-luminous body.

Figures 1 to 6 show a variant for the production of an electronic device with a housing 100 of Gias. In a first step, a hollow body 2 made of glass is made or provided. In this case, it is assumed that this is a tube 2 made of glass. In a further step, at least one electronic device 3 is introduced through an opening of the tube 2. As can be seen from FIG. 1, a plurality of devices 3 spaced apart are introduced ,

The exemplary electronic device 3 includes a camera 4 (or an image pickup device such as a kidney recognition chip), a microprocessor 5, and an antenna 6. In this example, it is assumed that the microprocessor 5 also includes components for radio communication. Together with the antenna 6 becomes such a radio module and / or a transponder formed. The camera 4 of the microprocessor 5 and the antenna 6 are each arranged on a board 7 of conventional design

FIG. 2 shows that the area between two electronic devices 3 in the melting region 8 is irradiated with a laser 9. Advantageously, the tubular housing 2, e.g. a tube with a cylindrical or polygonal cross-section, during the separation and / or closing operation of the tubular housing 2 on the inside and outside of the housing 2 kn area of the separation point 8 different sized forces in the longitudinal direction of the housing 2 are exercised. Thus, for example, it is possible to subject the parts of the tubular housing 2 to be separated to tensile stress (see arrows) or the inside and outside of the housing 2 in the region of the separation point 8 with a different pressure force. FIG. 3 shows that the irradiation with the laser 9 melting region 8 and the associated heating or plastification of the glass in combination with the tensile stress leads to an extension and constriction of the tube 2.

In Fig. 4, a further constriction of the tube 2 and in Fig. 5 finally a separation of the tube 2 is shown. As can be seen from FIG. 5, in this process, the tube 2 is not only separated, but at the same time the resulting ends are closed by the softened / smoothened material, whereby at the separation point 6 end walls 10 and the housing 100 arise.

This process is now repeated in each area between two electronic devices 3, so that step by step completely closed and a cavity 12 enclosing glass housing 100 are formed around the electronic devices 3, as shown in Fig. 6 The housing 100 is in this case of a cylindrical Mitteilteil and two in the end faces of the same angeord-Neten convex end walls 10, which have substantially the shape of a Kugelka lotte or a Kugelkalottenabschnitts. In particular, the end walls 10 may be provided by delivering energy with nano- or pico-second pulses and / or with continuous energy input, e.g. be formed by a gas flame. The housing 100 is made in one piece from a single base material, glass in this example. For example, it could also be made of silicon.

It is also conceivable, of course, that the housing 100 is constructed of several components. For example, the middle part 11 and the end walls 10 may be present as separate components. Further examples of multi-part housings are shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 and 17 to 23. For a good connection of the housing parts, it is advantageous if they are made of a single base material (eg glass or silicon) or at least substantially the same physical and chemical Have properties.

In the previous example, the hollow body 2 was claimed only to train. It is also conceivable that the hollow body 2 is alternatively or additionally acted upon by an increased air pressure, so that outside the hollow body, a higher air pressure prevails than inside. In this way can also N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:45

It is also conceivable that between the hollow body 2 and the laser 9, a relative rotation about the axis of the hollow body 2 is voltführt. Thus, a laser 9 or several lasers 9 can be rotated around the hollow body 2, or the hollow body 2 itself is rotated relative to the laser 9 / the lasers 9. In this way, the melting region 8 can be uniformly heated.

The method for producing a housing 100 with at least one hermetically sealed receiving space 12 for an electronic device 3, comprising at least part of an inner space of the housing 100, thus comprises the steps:

Producing / providing a hollow body 2 made of glass having at least one opening;

Introducing, positioning and / or fixing at least one electronic device 3 by the at least one opening hermetically closing the receiving space 12 by fusing the housing 100 or

Closing and welding the at least one opening by means of the action of heat by laser radiation and / or a gas flame.

It is advantageous in this case if the laser radiation is emitted in nanosecond and / or pico-second energy pulses and / or in the case of continuous energy input, since the output power can thereby be well influenced.

It is also advantageous if, during the separation and / or Verschließvoigangs of the tubular housing 100 on the inside and outside of the housing 100 in the region of the separation point 8 different sized forces in the longitudinal direction of the housing 100 are exercised. In particular, during the separating and / or closing operation of the tubular housing 100, the inside and outside of the housing 100 in the region of the separation point 8 can be subjected to a different pressure force. Thus, an end wall 10 of the N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:45

Housing 100 heated by heating the end portion of the central portion 11 by means of a laser by delivering nano and / or pico-second energy pulses and / or continuous energy input and by differently on the inside and outside of the housing 100 in the region of TrennstellelO exerted large forces in the longitudinal direction of the housing 100 an end wall 10 are formed. In particular, therefore, a plurality of electronic devices 3 can be introduced, positioned and / or fixed in a longitudinal direction one behind the other in a tubular housing 100 by means of laser radiation by emitting nano and / or picoseconds of energy pulses is heated in the intermediate region 8 between the electronic devices 3 and by on the inside and outside of the housing 100 in the region of the separating chambers 8 in the longitudinal direction of the housing 100 different forces exerted on both sides of the intermediate region, the tubular housing 100 is closed with an end wall 10.

It is advantageous, because of the camera 3, if there * dew point of the water vapor in the air in the housing at least in its hermetically sealed subspace 0 ° C preferably between - 10 ° C and -30 ° C. Thus, the residual moisture in the housing 100 is so small that there may be no condensation or fogging of the inside of the housing 100.

FIGS. 7 and 8 now show a production process similar to FIGS. 1 to 6, but the electronic devices 3 are now arranged on a common board 7, which is separated by the laser 9 in the melting region 8. Thus, in one step, the circuit board 7 is separated and a housing 100 for the electronic device 3 is formed, as shown in Fig. 8. Again, the ends of the tube 2 are closed by the softened / molten material and formed in the separation area 8 end walls 10. The end walls 10 are substantially planar. In general, an end wall 10 of course not only convex, but also concave.

In general, it should be noted that the separation process in practice is not in the middle of the tube 2 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, but normally at N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:46

In practice, the production of the housing 100 thus takes place as shown in Fig. 6, wherein the tube 2 is displaced in each case by one position to the right. The first open end of the tube 2 (at the start of the production process) is not necessarily closed by a separation of the tube 2, but can simply be fused / welded.

9 shows an extension of the electronic devices 3 in that a tritium gas light source 13 is arranged in the region of the camera 4 and thermal barriers or insulation 14 are provided. The latter are intended to protect sensitive devices such as the microprocessor 5 from excessive heating by the laser 9. Of course, an insulation 14 may also be arranged in front of the camera 4, if it has an opening for the lens of the camera 4 or is transparent in this area.

To form a tritium gas light source 13, the tube 2 in the region of the camera 4 as shown in FIG. 9 can, for example, be annularly provided with a fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer of a substance which can be excited by decay radiation and the housing 100 of the electronic device 3 with a a decay radiation donating medium are filled. For example, openings may be provided in the tube 2, which are closed after Füllvoigang (see also Fig. 10 and Fig. 17 to 23). Alternatively it can be provided as a light source, an LED or a phosphor with Nachleuchteigenschaften.

Vorteihaft it is when used as a fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance zinc sulfide (ZnS), as an adhesive for the ZnS phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and as a decay radiation emitting medium tritium gas. Of course, however, other combinations for producing a selbstieuch-border area in principle applicable.

Fig. 10 shows one way of avoiding excessive heating of the tube 2 outside of the melting zone 8. For this purpose, a cooling collar 15 may be provided. In this example, this is only to the left of the melt-N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:47 no .: R235 P.027 / 067 25 14:44:07 28-00-2012 28/67 *, but of course this can also be arranged on both sides of the melting region 8.

Additionally or alternatively, the tube 2 can also be flowed through by a cooling medium during the separation process. For this purpose, special Spülbohrungen 16 are provided. As flushing medium, for example, nitrogen (N2), argon (Ar) or helium (He) into consideration. The flush holes 16, when they are no longer needed to be welded. For example, this can be done with the laser 9, another laser or in any other way. For example, the flushing holes 16 may also be glued.

It is also advantageous if the output of the energy of the laser pulses is controlled by a control device such that the temperature in the interior of the housing 100 is in a range equal to or greater than 2 mm away from the point of action of the laser beams below a value of 200 ° is held, since the electronic device 3 then takes no damage.

It is also an advantage of the presented method that the water vapor content in the fabricated housing 100 is very low by using a dry sparge gas such as N 2 or He. Conveniently, condensation of water vapor on the inside of the housing 100 at the operating temperature of the electronic device Device 3 avoided grazing.

Fig. 11 shows an exemplary and schematically illustrated electronic device 3 with one of two housing parts 101 and 102 made of glass in detail now. The two housing parts 101,102 are connected in this example by means of a weld 17, which may be made in particular with a laser. Advantageously, the weld 17 is arranged a little inclined.

In addition to the thermal insulation 14, the housing 101, 102 also includes a partition wall 18 which is fixedly connected to it, as a result of which a first hermetic cavity 19 and a second cavity 20 are formed. In the first cavity 19 are a microprocessor 5 and a power source 21 of an electronic device 3. In the second cavity 20 is a sensor 22, which via lines 23 with N2012 / 07200 28/08/201214: 47 Nr .: R235 P.028 / 067 25 14:44:49 28-08-2012 29/67

The power source 21 is connected to the microprocessor 5 or to the microprocessor 5, respectively , The lines 23 are guided through the partition 18 so that no substantial exchange of gases between the cavity 19 and the cavity 20 can take place. Via through holes 24, the sensor 22 is in more or less direct contact with the environment of the housing 101,102. The opening 24 may be air and / or liquid permeable. The sensor 22 can thus be designed, for example, as a gas sensor, pressure sensor, ph value sensor or the like.

The conductors 23 can be used for example for energy transmission and / or data transmission. In general, the conductors 23 may be formed as wires. It is also conceivable that a conductive paste or a lekfähiger adhesive is introduced into the corresponding holes, which / wefcher on the one hand the electrical connection to the board 7, on the other hand at the same time also for the electrical connection through the partition wall 18 is provided therethrough, a solder paste introduced and heated (melted). Additionally or alternatively, the bore can also be coated metallically. In general, processes can be used for producing a conductive connection through the dividing wall 18, as are also used, for example, from printed circuit board production for producing so-called "vias" or plated-through holes.

In principle, 16 holes may be provided for the passage of any media in the partition wall. Examples may be provided lines for the liquid or gas transport. It is also conceivable, however, that optical fibers are passed through the holes.

Of course, the mentioned techniques are also unrestricted for the penetration of arbitrary lines through the housing 101, 102.

In particular, if tritium gas light sources 13 are used, it is advantageous if the partial spaces 19, 20 are gas-tight, in particular tritium gas-tight. N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:48

Because the electronic device 3 (in particular the microprocessor 5 and the power source 21) is well protected from external chemical influences by the glass housing 101, 102 and the glass housing 101, 102 itself does not practically react with other chemical substances and does not itself emit substances, the electronic device 3 is suitable in particular for use in organic tissue, for example in human and animal bodies and in plant tissue. It is also advantageous that the housing 101,102 no sharp »! Edges outlines. By way of example, the analysis and evaluation unit 22 can be designed for the analysis and evaluation of body fluids and / or tissue samples. It is also possible to equip the electronic device 3 with means for locomotion. Several exemplary principles are shown in FIGS. 14 and 15.

The energy source 21 may also be connected to a non-contact beaufschlag ble energy converter, so that energy can be transmitted without contact and especially through the continuous housing wall 101,102 therethrough. For example, the energy converter can act inductively or, for example, convert kinetic energy of the capsule into electrical energy, as is the case with automatic watches, for example.

It is advantageous if at least one of the following components in the housing 101,102, such as light source 13, Bildkennungsvomchtung 4, image pickup device, electronic device, analysis, storage and evaluation unit 22 is connected to a transmitter 5,6 for wireless transmission of data Thus the Data can be transmitted to external processing units (eg remote PC). It is also advantageous if at least one of the following components in the housing 100, such as light source 13, image recognition device 4, BiEd Aufhahmevorrichtung, electronic device, analysis and evaluation unit 22 is connected to a power source 21, since then independent of an external power supply can be operated.

FIGS. 12 and 13 now show two further possibilities for producing a housing. For example, in FIG. 12, a conical end wall 103 becomes N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:49

As mentioned, FIGS. 14 and 15 now show locomotion means for the electronic devices 3. In the left-hand side of FIG. 14, a mass 25 is arranged inside the housing 100, which can be translationally deflected, for example by means of an electromagnet. If, for example, the mass 25 moves slowly to the left, but to the right quickly, then the capsule is moved to the left in its entirety. By repeated deflection, the capsule can now be moved away.

14 shows a very similar principle, but with an eccentrically and rotatably mounted mass 26. This can be moved back and forth like the mass 25 or else always in one direction, in particular with varying angular velocity. As a result, the capsule can now be moved away again. Because of the rotatably mounted mass, on the one hand linear movements in all directions transverse to the axis of rotation (mass 26 is moved back and forth) and rotations about this axis of rotation (mass 26 is rotated in one direction) are possible. If the mass 26 rotatably supported about two transverse axes or two masses 26 are provided, which are rotatably mounted about different axes, the capsule can be moved or rotated in any direction.

The figure 15 also shows drives according to the recoil principle, hn left image is a pressurized container 27 is provided, from which the content can be controlled by means of the valve 28 drained and the capsule can be moved accordingly in this way. Inside the container 27 also substances can chemically react with each other, causing a Druckertiöhung in the container 27. N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:49

The right picture shows a recoil drive (jet drive) by means of a pump 29 for liquid media or by means of a compressor for gaseous media, depending on the medium in which the capsule is used.

Of course, the principles shown in Figures 14 and 15 can also be combined as desired. For example, the pump / compressor 29 can be combined with a rotatably mounted mass 26 so that the capsule can be moved in any direction. Of course, radially outwardly directed steering nozzles or steering openings can also be used to rotate the capsule.

The left-hand illustration of FIG. 16 now shows an electronic device 3 in a housing 100, in which micro-bores 30 are arranged, which are permeable to gas but liquid-ink-impermeable. With the help of these micro holes 30, the electronic device 3 can be cooled. In addition, the formation of an undesirable differential pressure between the interior of the housing 100 and its surroundings can be avoided in this way, for example when the medium located inside the housing 100 is heated or cooled. In this way, an exploding or imploding of the housing 100 can be effectively avoided, which would have unwanted consequences, in particular when using human or animal body.

However, it may be undesirable for the electronic device 3 to be exposed to gases passing through the microbeams 30. For this reason, it is provided in a further preferred variant that the housing 100 is introduced with the electronic device 3 in another hermetic glass housing 31, are arranged in the micro-bores 30, which are permeable to gas, however, liquid-impermeable. The inner housing 2 need not have microbores in this case. In this way, the electronic device 3 can be cooled without being exposed to the gases passing through the microbores 30. If the housing 100 is still destroyed by implosion or explosion, the smashed housing 100 is held inside the housing 31 and can not cause further damage. N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:50

In general, it is advantageous if a wall thickness of the housing 100 and / or 31, at least in the Mitteibereich between two end walls between 0.05 to 5 mm, to ensure adequate mechanical stability.

Fig. 17 now shows an intermediate stage in the manufacture of a housing for an electronic device according to another method. Concretely, Fig. 17 shows an exemplary first Gehäuseteii 107 and an exemplary second housing part 108 made of glass for said housing and an electronic device 3 in an exploded view. The method for producing the housing 107,108 will now be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 17.

The method comprises the steps:

Making at least one recess 32 in at least one housing part 107 of a housing,

Producing at least one cavity by joining together housing cell 107, 108, wherein at least one opening 33, in particular at least two openings 33, remains open from outside into the cavity,

Introducing an electronic device 3 in the at least one cavity through the at least one opening 33 and

Closing and welding the at least one opening 33 by means of laser radiation.

In particular, the two housing parts 107, 108 can be welded together by means of laser radiation with energy output in the nanosecond and / or picosecond range and / or with continuous energy input.

For example, the recess 32 can be milled into the housing part 107. It is also conceivable that the depression 32 can be removed by means of an ion beam, a removal method, e.g. made with a laser or powder blast. Likewise, the grooves provided for the supply openings 33 can also be milled, for example, or produced by means of an ion beam. By placing the second housing part 108 on the first housing part 107 then creates a cavity with two Zulufungsöffnungen 33. For example, the 28/08/2012 14:51

No .: R235 N2012 / 07200 P, 033/067 25 14:48:15 28-08-2012 34/67 30

Housing part 108 glued to the housing part 107 or welded thereto, in particular with Hiife a laser.

On at least one boundary wall of the cavity, a fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer can be produced. The method then comprises the steps:

Making at least one recess 32 m the first housing part 107,

Producing at least one cavity by covering the at least one recess 32 with the at least diffuse second housing part 108, wherein two supply openings 33 remain open from the outside into the cavity,

Producing a fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer of a substance which can be excited by radiation through decay radiation on at least one boundary wall of the at least one cavity,

Introducing a decay radiation for a stimulable material excitable substance emitting medium in the at least one cavity through the at least one inlet opening and

Melting / welding of the at least one opening after insertion of the electronic device 3. For a method for producing self-luminous bodies, the method can also comprise the following steps:

Making at least one recess 32 in at least one housing part 107 of a housing,

Producing a fluorescent layer 36 and / or a mask 41 formed on at least one part of a boundary wall 37 of at least one cavity 34 from a substance that can be stimulated by radiation to form a luminescent radiation,

Producing the at least one cavity 34 by joining the housing parts 107,108

Welding the housing parts 107, 108 by means of laser radiation by emitting nano- and / or pico-seconds of energy pulses and / or with continuous energy input, wherein at least one supply opening 33, N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:52

Nr .: R235 P.034 / 067 25 14:48:54 28-08-2012 35/67 • at least two feed openings 33, remains open from the outside into the cavity 34,

Introducing a decay radiation for a luminous excitable substance dispensing medium 36 or the substance 36 and the medium 38 into the at least one cavity 34 through the at least one feed opening 33 and

Closing and welding the at least one feed opening 33 by means of laser radiation.

For example, the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer may be formed by coating the at least one housing portion 107, 108 with adhesive (e.g., phosphoric acid H3PO4) and then applying a fluorescent and / or phosphorescent material (e.g., zinc sulfide ZnS) to the adhesive layer.

It is conceivable that the adhesive and, subsequently, the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance which forms the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer is introduced into the cavity through one of the two supply openings 33. For this purpose, one of the two supply openings 33 can be connected to an inflow line and the other supply opening 33 can be connected to a discharge line. Adhesive can be introduced in the form of a liquid or in the form of a mist via the inflow line into the cavity and excess adhesive can be removed via the Abflussleltung. On the same catfish and the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance can be introduced into the cavity or removed therefrom, either via the same lines or via separate lines.

In a further variant of the method, the adhesive layer is applied to the housing part 107 and / or the housing part 108 before the two parts are joined together. In a further step, the housing part 107 and the housing part 108 are joined together, and then the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance is introduced via the supply openings 33. This variant has the advantage that the adhesive is very selective, in particular N2012 / 07200 28/08/2012 14:52

It is also conceivable that the adhesive is printed or stamped on and so selective wetting of the housing part 107 and / or the housing part 108 can be made with adhesive. The selective adhesive application can take place, for example, in the form of letters, numbers, symbols or other geometric figures or any surfaces. If the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance is then introduced into the cavity, it deposits on the wetted surfaces and also forms letters, numbers, symbols, etc. It is also conceivable that not only the adhesive on the housing part 107 and / or the housing part 108, but also the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance is applied to the adhesive layer before the housing side 107,108 are joined together. Finally, it is also possible that the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance itself has adhesive or adhesive properties. A separate application of adhesive can then be omitted. For example, a mixture of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) can be applied directly.

A self-moistening or luminescent medium (e.g., tritium gas) is then placed in the finished cavity provided with the fluorescent and / or phosphorus-removing layer, and the two lead openings 33 can again act as inflow and outflow.

In a further step, the supply openings 33 are closed, for example glued or welded.

FIG. 18 now shows a plan view and a cross section through an exemplary housing for the electronic device 3. In this case, again a housing part 109 is connected to a housing part 110, whereby a hollow space 34 and grooves in the housing part 109 supply openings from a recess 32 33 arise. In this example, it is assumed that the top surface of the cavity 34 is entirely filled with an adhesive layer 35 and then a fluorescent and / or 14:53

On the side facing away from the cavity 34 outer surface 39 of the housing part 110 itself (ie on the base 40 opposite side) is still an opaque or at least lichtabschwächende mask 41 is arranged in this layer holes in the form of numbers 3,6,9 and 12 are provided , As can be easily imagined, the light generated in the cavity 34, respectively in the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer 36 penetrates through these holes, whereby a self-luminous Ziffembiatt a clock can be formed. The numbers appear bright on a dark background.

Of course, it would also be possible to omit the mask 41 and instead to form the numbers directly with the aid of the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent substance 36, to which one of the aforementioned methods can be applied. The numbers also appear bright on a dark background. It would also be conceivable to represent the numbers in the negative. The numbers then appear dark on a light background. In particular, when no mask 41 is used, the pre-assembled arrangement can also be used directly as a watch glass or head as a watch body. For example, the hands could move in the cavity 34 of this arrangement. The housing part 110 could, however, also be designed as an LCD display, as a result of which a backlit display can be realized. Of course, the mask 41 can also be arranged between the housing part 109 and the housing part 110. The electronic device 3 itself may in this application include a circuit for determining the time and, for example, the motors for driving clock hands (not dargesteift).

In general, the housing side 109 and the housing part 110 and, if appropriate, the mask 41 can be produced by means of fusion bonding (bonding of the interfaces by van der Waals forces) or also by means of anodic bonding (chemical bonding)

Bonding at the interfaces, which is initiated by electrical forces of attraction) are interconnected. The housing parts 109 and 110 and the mask 41 can also be welded together by means of a laser. The supply openings 33 can be welded or glued or plugged as shown in Fig. 18 by means of a laser (e.g., CO2 laser, fiber laser, etc.). In FIGS. 17 and 18, housings 107, 110 were shown with only one cavity 34. Of course, a housing 107, 110 may also comprise more than one cavity 34. These may, for example, be connected in a chain-like manner with connecting lines and / or may each be provided with feed openings 33 leading to the outside.

Furthermore, it is possible for a cavity 34 to have only one inlet opening 33 or else three or more inlet openings 33. In particular, if only one feed opening 33 leads to a cavity 34, concentric lines for inflow and outflow of the substance to be conveyed into / out of the cavity can serve, for example.

FIG. 19 shows a further variant of a housing 111 .112 for an electronic device 3, which is very similar to the variant shown in FIG. 17. Instead of a groove, however, bores are provided as access openings 33 (eg in the range from 3 .mu.m to 2 mm Diameter). These can be produced, for example, mechanically with the aid of a drill, with a laser beam or ion beam.

FIG. 20 shows a further variant of a housing for an electronic device 3, in which holes are arranged as attachment openings 33 in the housing part 113, as in FIG. In contrast to the variant of FIG. 16, the housing part 114 is slightly smaller than the housing part 113 and is inserted into a recess thereof. The housing part 113 and the housing part 114 are welded together in this case by means of a weld 42. Furthermore, the feed opening 114 is not welded as in FIG. 16, but closed with a plug 43. The luminescent body is not in this example as Zif- N2012 / 07200

In this case, the electronic device 3 can be embodied, for example, as a contactlessly readable transponder (RFID tag), which contains an identification of the lighting fixture.

FIG. 21 now shows a housing 115, 116 which is very similar to the housing 113, 114 shown in FIG. 20. In contrast to this, however, a frame-shaped mask 41 is placed on the housing part 116, which prevents light from appearing in the edge region of the self-illuminating body

In FIG. 21, the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer 36 is arranged, for example, on the upper side of the cavity 34, directly on the housing part 116. This is structured in such a way that a dial leaf of a clock results. A separate adhesive layer is not provided, for example, because directly a mixture of phosphoric acid (H3FO4) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) and / or zinc oxide (ZnO) was applied.

Furthermore, 21 supports 44 are provided in the cavity 34 in FIG. 21, so that the housing parts 115,116 can not bend excessively. For example, the supports 44 can be formed directly on the housing part 115 or housing part 116 and be glued to the respective other housing part 115,116, for example. It is also conceivable, of course, that the supports 44 only touch the respective other housing part 115, 116, that is, they are not permanently connected to it. As a further possibility, the supports 44 may also be present as separate components which are connected to a housing part 115, 116 or both housing parts 115, 116. Finally, as shown in FIG. 21, the supports 44 may also contact or be connected to the electronic device 3.

In general, the self-luminous bodies shown in FIGS. 27 to 21 may be formed as cuboids and thus have a rectangular or square base surface 40. Of course, other shapes are also conceivable, in particular the base surface 40 may be elliptical or circular (see the alternative dashed outline in the plan view of FIG. N2012 / 07200

No .: R235 28/08/2012 14:55 P.039 / 067 25 14:52:27 28-08-2012 40/67 6 · · # · ·· «* · 36 21). In targeted, the self-luminous body can aulweisen as a square or disc housing 107..116 aulweisen, which is formed by two substantially plate-shaped housing parts 107..116 with a polygonal or elliptical or circular base surface 40, wherein the sum of the vertical height to the base h of the two housing parts 107..116 is less than a shorter side length s or a minimum diameter d or radius thereof.

In general, the electronic device 3 of FIGS. 17 to 21 may comprise a camera 4. In this case, the fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer 36 may serve to illuminate the field of view of the camera 4 and then not necessarily be in the form of letters and the like. Conversely, the teaching disclosed with reference to FIGS. 17 to 21 with regard to the application of a fluorescent and / or phosphorescent layer can also be applied to the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 17.

FIG. 22 now shows a further embodiment which combines the features of FIGS. 12 and 16 and of FIGS. 17 to 21. Specifically, 117,118 through holes 24 and micro holes 30 are arranged in the housing parts further arranged electrical conductors 23 in the housing part 117, which serve the Konktaktierung of the electronic device 3.

Fig. 23 shows an alternative form of housing divider 119,120 which are configured substantially U-shaped. By connecting the Gehäuseteiie 119.120 creates a one-sided open hollow body, which can be closed, for example, by a not dargesteltte end wall.

The variants of the housing 100..120 for an electronic device 3 shown in the figures optionally show independent execution characteristics, wherein the same reference numerals or component designations are used for the same parts.

The specific design details shown for the different variants do not necessarily relate only to the relevant figure, but may also be applied in other Ausführungsförmen. For N2012 / 07200 P. 040/067 28/08/2012 14:56 No .: R235 25 14:53:09 28-08-2012 41/67

37, for example, the insulating layers of Fig. Θ can be applied mutatis mutandis in a variant of Figures 17 to 23. Similarly, it is conceivable that the variant according to the figures 17 to 23 are cooled as shown in Fig. 10.

It should also be noted that the application of the arrangements presented is, of course, not limited to watchmaking. It is also conceivable, for example, the application as a sign, emergency lighting, door plate, keyboard backlight and the like.

As mentioned, the electronic devices 3 enclosed by the glass housing 100..120 can also be used in particular in the human and animal body as well as in plants. It is possible that the devices 3 are surgically implanted. For this purpose, the outer surface of the housing 100..120 roughened and / or be provided with reactive, a growth in human / animal / plant tissue favoring substances / structures. However, it is also possible to apply other coatings, coatings or layers, such as silicones, antistatic, bacteria-inhibiting, dirt-repellent and / or persistent materials.

The housing 100..120 or a hermetically sealed subarea 19, 20 of the same is diffusion-tight, i. the water vapor permeability (Sd) is preferably greater than 2,500 m based on the specifications in DIN 4106-3.

In particular, the round capsules shown in FIGS. 1 to 16 may also be provided for swallowing. Advantageously, the outer surface of the housing may be coated with a gel and / or flavor carrier to facilitate swallowing.

Of course, however, an embodiment according to FIGS. 17 to 23 for swallowing and an embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 16 for implantation may also be provided. Advantageously, the surface of the housing is treated for each purpose. 28/08/2012 14:56

In general, housing parts 101..120 can be completely transparent, diffuse or opaque (intermediates are of course possible). For example, the diffuse or opaque parts of the housing 100, 120 or the cover layer can be arranged adjacent to the melting or welding areas 8, which makes it possible in particular to connect housing parts 101, 120 with different optical properties. Another possibility is also the housing 100..120 or at least a part of the housing 100..120 or the cover layer with a functional coating, e.g. a film having different optical properties. For example, the functional coating, e.g. the film may be diffused or opaque. Of course, it is also conceivable to influence other physical properties with the aid of a functional coating, such as the electrical conductivity.

For the sake of the order, it should finally be pointed out that for a better understanding of the construction of the arrangements presented, these or their components have been shown partially unevenly and / or enlarged and / or reduced in size.
