| 20080297910 | Micro-Lens Arrays and Curved Surface Fabrication Techniques - A method of fabricating a sub-millimeter scale curved surface on a substrate ( | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090246515 | Neuroelectrode Coating and Associated Methods - Micro-neuroelectrodes for use in stimulation of neurons can be formed having decreased impedance, increased charge storage capacity, and good durability. A method of coating a micro-neuroelectrode includes sputtering a film of iridium oxide on a surface of the micro-neuroelectrode. The sputtering can occur using pulse-DC conditions under reactive conditions that are sufficient to form a polycrystalline iridium oxide film that adheres to the surface of the micro-neuroelectrode. The deposited iridium oxide film can also be optionally activated to increase its charge storage capacity. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090301994 | Methods for Wafer Scale Processing of Needle Array Devices - Methods of fabricating needle arrays on a wafer scale include etching a wafer of columns and needles and coating the same with an electrically insulating material and exposing electrically conductive tips. This process can benefit from using a slow spin speed to distribute resist material across the wafer before etching and using a carrier wafer to support singulated arrays to allow full coverage of upper array surfaces with electrically insulating materials. These processes allow for efficient high volume production of high count microelectrode arrays with a high repeatability and accuracy. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100010601 | Self-Aligning Latch-up Mechanism in Out of Plane Silicon Microelectrode Arrays - The present invention provides microelectrode array stabilizing devices and associated methods. A microelectrode array stabilizing device includes a first microelectrode array substrate having a plurality of first microelectrodes configured to penetrate tissue. A plurality of first interlocking structures are coupled to the first microelectrode array substrate, with each of the plurality of first interlocking structures including a first interlocking mechanism at a distal end. The device may further include a second microelectrode array substrate which optionally has a plurality of second microelectrodes configured to penetrate tissue. A plurality of second interlocking structures are coupled to the second microelectrode array substrate, each of the plurality of second interlocking structures including a second interlocking mechanism at a distal end. The second interlocking mechanism is complimentary to the first interlocking mechanism. The first microelectrode array and the second microelectrode array are configured to self-align and couple together with the first interlocking mechanism secured to the second interlocking mechanism. | 01-14-2010 |
