The recording electrode is provided with an S-shaped metal shielding layer, and the S-shaped metal shielding layer is located between an electromagnetic interference source and a metal electrode layer and used for attenuating electromagnetic interference. The recording electrode further comprises an S-shaped polymer substrate layer, an S-shaped polymer intermediate insulating layer, an S-shaped metal electrode layer and an S-shaped polymer packaging layer, each structural layer adopts an S-shaped bending structure, and the integrated flexible photoelectric electrode has stretchability, can collect neutral signals normally in a certain deformation range and meets the actual application demands. The invention further provides a preparation technology of the recording electrode with the S-shaped metal shielding structure. The prepared recording electrode not only can effectively reduce influence of the electromagnetic interference on neural signal collection quality, but also can deform with electrode structure stretching and can be applied to animal tissue with deformation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a neural microelectrode in the technical field of biomedical engineering, in particular to a recording electrode with a serpentine metal shielding structure and a preparation process. Background technique [0002] As a bridge between neural tissue and external devices, neural interfaces are not only widely used in neuroscience research, but also provide effective treatments for neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, depression, and stroke. With the advent of optogenetics, by introducing a light source with a specific wavelength and a small size into the neural interface, it is possible to activate or inhibit a specific type of neuron in the sub-millimeter region to achieve high-resolution optical neuromodulation. , has increasingly become one of the indispensable tools in neuroscience and brain science research. [0003] However, in the process of integrating micro-LED chips or micro-LD chips with a size of tens to...
