摘要:
The disclosure relates to a flexible circuit electrode array comprising: a polymerbase layer; metal traces deposited on said polymer base layer, including electrodessuitable to stimulate neural tissue; a polymer top layer deposited on said polymerbase layer and said metal traces; and at least one support embedded in said array.The disclosure further relates to a flexible circuit electrode array comprising:a polymer base layer; metal traces deposited on said polymer base layer, includingelectrodes suitable to stimulate neural tissue; a polymer top layer depositedon said polymer base layer and said metal traces; and a folded flexible circuitcable connecting the electrode array with an interconnection pad. The disclosurefurther relates to a method of making a flexible circuit electrode array comprising:depositing a polymer base layer; depositing metal on said polymer base layer;patterning said metal to form metal traces; depositing a polymer top layer onsaid polymer base layer and said metal traces; heating said flexible circuitelectrode array in a mold to form a three dimensional shape in said flexible circuitelectrode array, embedding a support at least in the base layer, top layer or betweenthe base and top layer, and/or folding a flexible circuit cable at least once connectingthe electrode array with an interconnection pad the array.
