Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible retina emboss micro-electrode chip in the technical field of a micro-electronic-mechanical-system and a manufacture method thereof. In the method, parylene C is used as a flexible substrate and an insulating material for preparing a micro-electrode array which is formed by the arrangement of a plurality of micro-electrode sensing elements; simultaneously, an electrode lead and a lead welding point are manufactured to form the flexible retina emboss micro-electrode chip which is planted into the retina part of a human eye, can realize the safe and effective contact with the neuron of the retina, effectively reduce the stimulation to a pulse current, reduce the inserting damage to a biological tissue caused by the planting of the micro-electrode and can improve the effect of electric simulating and neural signal recording, thereby better recovering the visual function. In the invention, the parylene C is used as the substrate of a flexible electrode; the excellent electric insulating performance and mechanical performance thereof can improve the biocompatibility of the micro-electrode chip to a larger extent and have good stability for a long period. In the invention, an MEMS technique is adopted, thus realizing the integration of a functional unit and the flexible substrate of the micro-electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and a method in the technical field of micro-electromechanical systems, in particular to a flexible retinal bump micro-electrode chip and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] The retina is the source of visual function, where light stimuli are converted into visual nerve impulses. For blindness caused by retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), implantation of retinal microelectrode chips is a potential means of restoring vision. The basic principle is: the external light signal is sensed by the implant prosthesis, after some specific signal processing, it is converted into a bioelectrical signal, stimulates and activates the optic nerve cells and their connection network, and then transmits the electrical signal to the visual center of the brain through the optic nerve. , resulting in vision. [0003] The flexible retinal microelectrode ...
