Abstract
A device includes a substrate, an electrode, an electrical pad, and a signal line. The signal line is coupled to the substrate and covered by an insulation layer. The signal line is coupled to the electrical pad and the electrode. At least one of the electrode and the signal line includes a diamagnetic material and paramagnetic material, wherein a ratio of the diamagnetic material and the paramagnetic material is selected based on the susceptibility properties of a physiological tissue. The term paramagnetic herein refers to magnetic susceptibility greater than that of the surrounding tissue and diamagnetic refers to magnetic susceptibility lower than that of the tissue.
