Abstract

A microelectrode array (MEA) consisting of 34 silicon nitride passivated Pt-tip microelectrodes embedded on a perforated silicon substrate (porosity 35%) has been realized. The electrodes are 47 μm high, of which only the top 15 μm are exposed Pt-tips having a curvature of 0.5 μm. The MEA is intended for extracellular recordings of brain slices in vitro. Here we report the fabrication, characterization and initial electrophysiological evaluation of the first generation of Pt-tip MEAs. | A microelectrode array (MEA) consisting of 34 silicon nitride passivated Pt-tip microelectrodes embedded on a perforated silicon substrate (porosity 35%) has been realized.
