Abstract
Provided is a neural device including at least one nano-wire. The neural device includes a nano-wire formed on a base formed on a first surface of a substrate, and an electrode pad formed on a second surface different from the first surface of the substrate and configured to output an electrical signal gained from a neural fiber through the nano-wire or apply a signal for an electric stimulus to the nano-wire. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the nano-wire from becoming embedded in an encapsulation and maximize a contact between the nano-wire and a nerve.
