Abstract
Described herein are methods for generating a coated device, electrode, or portion of an electrode for implanting into a subject. Such devices and electrodes are generated using methods like atomic layer deposition. In some cases, methods like etching are used to expose portions of a coated surface. The methods described herein improve overall hermeticity, biocompatibility, and biostability of implantable devices.
