  4. Introduction • Neural interfaces currently help neuroscientists in their study of the brain’s functions and promise to introduce new solutions for conditions such as Parkinson’s and paralysis. • In order to decrease this response, flexibleprobes have been designed by several groups in order to comply with brain tissue motion. • Polyimide probes and parylene probes have been developed in order to decrease brain-device compliance mismatch.

  7. LIGA and Biophotonics Lab Step 1： A 500 nm TiW and a 1000 nm sacrificial aluminum layer are deposited on a silicon wafer. Step 2： Polyimide is spun to a thickness of 15 µm Step 3： Ti/Pt/Ti metal sandwich is deposited at thicknesses of 50nm/200nm/50nm respectively. Device fabrication

  8. LIGA and Biophotonics Lab Step 4： A second polyimide layer is spun to a thickness of 2 µm Step 5： A second polyimide Ti/Pt/Ti sandwich is then deposited and etched thus defining the second layer of electrodes. The final polyimide layer is spun to a thickness of 2um Device fabrication

  9. LIGA and Biophotonics Lab Step 6： The three layers of polyimide are then etched in an O2 plasma using the Ti and sacrificial Al as etch stops. The oxide hard mask is dry etched and the wafer is ready for packaging and device release Device fabrication
