Abstract
Nanostructured microelectrodes and biosensing devices incorporating the same are disclosed herein.
Claims43
A nanostructured microelectrode.
A biosensing device comprising a substrate;
- an electrically conductive lead on the substrate;
- an insulating layer covering the lead, the insulating layer having an aperture exposing a portion of the lead;
- and a nanostructured microelectrode, the microelectrode being in electrical communication with the exposed portion of the lead, the microelectrode being adapted to generate a charge in response to a biomolecular stimulus.
A method for manufacturing a biosensing device, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate and an electrically conductive lead on the substrate, the lead being covered by an insulating layer;
- etching an aperture in the insulating layer to expose a portion of the lead;
- and electrodepositing a conductive material on the exposed portion of the lead to form a nanostructured microelectrode.
