ABSTRACT:
A surface area of an IMD electrode is increased by forming a conductive layer over an external portion of a sidewall of an IMD connector header and electrically coupling the conductive layer of the connector header to a conductive mounting surface of a hermetically sealed IMD housing; wherein the conductive mounting surface is an extension of an external conductive surface of the IMD, which external conductive surface forms the IMD electrode that is increased in surface area by the conductive layer formed over the connector header.
