Notes:
PDMS(polydimethylsiloxane) is a flexible and biocompatible material and is widely usedin bio- or medical-related fields. Recently, PDMS has been used as a substrate of implantableelectrodes but has exhibited limits in stable metal layer deposition and patterning. In this paper, wehave developed processes for both the stable metallization of PDMS surface and the selectivepatterning of conductive elements. The surface treatment via the oxygen plasma ions significantlyaffects the adhesion of metal layers to the PDMS surface, while the other factors exhibited nosignificant relations. On the basis of our procedure resulted in the effective production of the stableand fine (line width: 20 [removed info]) electrode patterns on the PDMS substrate. Finally, we fabricatedPDMS-based flexible and implantable micro electrode for the subretinal prosthesis
