Side-top electrode

A method of constructing a bio-implant having a length and a proximal and a distal end, said method comprising:

• (a) providing a first and second laminae of dielectric material, each said laminae defining a top surface, a laminae side surface and a bottom surface, a proximal end and a distal end;
• (b) providing at least one set of conductors positioned on said top surface of said first laminae, said conductors extending lengthwise from said proximal end toward said distal end, each one of said set of conductors being terminated adjacent to said side surface to form a set of conductor terminations;
• (c) adhering said top surface of said second laminae to said bottom surface of said first laminae about said set of conductors, thereby forming a work piece and defining a boundary and also defining a joined side surface that is intersected by said boundary, and a work piece top surface that is said top surface of said first laminae;
• and
• (d) forming a set of electrode contacts constructed on said joined side surface and also on said work piece top surface, each said electrode contact point contacting a one of said conductor terminations.
