Abstract

An implantable medical device (1) is disclosed having an electrically insulative coating material (7) on a portion of the titanium housing (2). A high definition window (8, 18) is prepared in the coating by pulsed excimer laser radiation ablating an organic coating, such as parylene or a similar polymer, to micromachine a conductive window having sharply defined boundaries or edges.
