A method of manufacturing an electrode for medical use, such as an intracerebral electrode (1) intended for use at brain level, the electrode having the shape of a narrow and elongated rod and including at least one electrical contact pad (2, 4) connected to an electrical conductor intended to be connected to a processing device and/or a recording device. In order to realize the electrode (1), a substrate (10) having a tridimensional shape is used and a metal layer is deposited on a periphery of the substrate (10) by a physical vapor deposition technique through a mask (12) that determines a pattern arranged so as to define at least the electrical contact pad (2, 4).
