Abstract
A method of producing an electrode brain probe assembly, using a flexible substrate comprising a polymeric layer bearing a conductive material coating. Photolithography and electroplating are used to form a set of contacts and conductors on the polymeric layer of the flexible substrate. Also, the flexible substrate is shaped to have a distal end and to be at least 5 mm long, but less than 5 mm wide and less than 1 mm thick.
Claims10
A method of producing an electrode brain probe assembly, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a flexible substrate comprising a polymeric layer and bearing a conductive material coating;
- b) patterning and plating said conductive material to form a set of contacts and conductors on said polymeric layer of said flexible substrate;
- and
- c) shaping said flexible substrate so that it has a distal end, is greater than 5 mm long, less than 5 mm wide and less than 1 mm thick.
