Abstract

Method for manufacturing a parylene-based electrode array that includes an underlying parylene layer, one or more patterned electrode layers comprising a conductive material such as a metal, and one or more overlying parylene layers. The overlying parylene is etched away or otherwise processed to expose the electrodes where stimulation or recording is to occur. All other conductive material in the device is occluded from the environment by the two layers of parylene surrounding it.
