Problems solved by technology

On the one hand, the cost of the electrodes produced in this way is high, and the contact resistance between the metals is increased by the electroplating method, which increases the impedance between the electrodes and the tissue, which is not conducive to the transmission of stimulation signals.
In addition, because the material is in the electroplating solution for a long time, it will also damage the material itself

Abstract

This invention discloses a sort of method that it uses the light-sensitive lacquer hot-melt method to prepare the roundness heave biologic micro-electrode array. It uses the light-sensitive lacquer technique to prepare the heave cylindrical light-sensitive lacquer, and it adopts the hot-melt circumfluence light-sensitive lacquer to form the roundness salient point. A bed of polymer which is covered in the underlay is used for the protecting material of the bottom of the device, and the presented in figures forms the metal electrode point and the lead, and then that it covers the polymer to be the protecting material of the top of the device. The presented in figures reveals the electrode point and the weld point, and it gets the needed roundness heave smooth micro-electrode array. The cost of the invention is low, also the technical process is simple, and it has the upper irritant effect. It is used for the preparation of the biologic micro-electrode array which has the nerve-cell stimulation of the retina prosthesis and so on.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a manufacturing method in the technical field of micromachining, in particular to a method for preparing a spherical convex biological microelectrode array by using a photoresist hot-melt method. Background technique [0002] Primary retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are the leading causes of blindness due to the progressive degeneration of the outer layer of the retina. Due to the development of microelectronics and biotechnology, implantable microstimulators can be used to stimulate the retina to produce vision. [0003] In the retinal prosthesis system, the microelectrode array used to stimulate the retina is a very important part, and the performance of the electrodes is directly related to the stimulation effect of the electrical pulse on the nerve cells. At present, electrodes used to stimulate nerve cells such as the retina mainly use high-density micro-electrode arrays processed by ME...
