Abstract

The invention is an implantable electrode configuration having a carrier substrate of a biocompatible polymer in at least some areas and a freely accessible electrode surface applied to the carrier substrate or integrated into the carrier substrate on the carrier substrate surface in at least some areas is described and a method for producing the implantable electrode configuration. The electrode has a metallic base plate having a planar top side and bottom side, including at least one structural element protruding orthogonally from the top side. The planar surface of the metallic base plate is oriented parallel to the carrier substrate surface and the metallic base plate is enclosed by the biocompatible polymer, except for a first surface area of the at least one structural element which faces the carrier substrate surface and is the freely accessible electrode surface.
