Abstract
A method of making a sensor includes the steps of providing a preformed self-supporting flexible substrate; sputter-depositing a metal layer on the substrate; etching the sputter-deposited metal layers to form a sensor electrode having a proximal segment and a distal segment; plating a metal layer on the sensor electrode; and separating the sensor electrode and at least a portion of the substrate underlying the sensor electrode from the remainder of the substrate. Sensors prepared according to the inventive methods, and sensor sets including the sensors, are also provided.
