Abstract:
Polycarbonate is a polymer that has been widely used including medical application due to its useful properties. It has high temperature resistance, biocompatibility, transparency and low water absorption rate, which are needful characteristics for packaging material of implantable neural prosthetic devices. In this study, we investigated fabrication of neural electrode with polycarbonate film using standard photolithography process and heated hydraulic press for thermal lamination. First, oxygen plasma surface treatment was performed to increase the adhesion between metal and polycarbonate film. Then thin layer of titanium and gold layer were deposited. Metal layer is patterned through standard photolithography techniques. After completing the metal patterning, thermal lamination was performed with site opened polycarbonate film.
