Polymer materials are useful as electrode array bodies for neural stimulation. They are particularly useful for retinal stimulation to create artificial vision, cochlear stimulation to create artificial hearing, or cortical stimulation many purposes. The pressure applied against the retina, or other neural tissue, by an electrode array is critical. Too little pressure causes increased electrical resistance, along with electric field dispersion. Too much pressure may block blood flow. Common flexible circuit fabrication techniques generally require that a flexible circuit electrode array be made flat. Since neural tissue is almost never flat, a flat array will necessarily apply uneven pressure. Further, the edges of a flexible circuit polymer array may be sharp and cut the delicate neural tissue. By applying the right amount of heat to a completed array, a curve can be induced. With a thermoplastic polymer it may be further advantageous to repeatedly heat the flexible circuit in multiple molds, each with a decreasing radius. Further, it is advantageous to add material along the edges. It is further advantageous to provide a fold or twist in the flexible circuit array. Additional material may be added inside and outside the fold to promote a good seal with tissue.

The present invention provides improved angular aperture schemes for generating shaped beam spots having a desired geometric shape from rectangular, elliptical, and semi-elliptical apertures having one sharp edge. A sharper beam edge can be generated by offsetting the rectangular or elliptical aperture in combination with under or over focus. In the spherical aberration limit, under-focused semi-circle apertures provide a sharp, flat edge. The sharp edge can be made resolute enough for precision milling applications, and at the same time, the spot can be made large enough with enough overall current and current density to efficiently mill away material in either a production or laboratory environment. Depending on the particular beam spot that is desired, combinations of techniques including defocusing, aperture offsetting, and stigmation adjustment, can be used in both spherical aberration dominant and chromatic aberration dominant environments to achieve a desired beam for a desired application.
