Array Construction
A complete array is composed of two main pieces a microfabricated structure and a flexible ribbon cable.

Microfabricated Structure:

• Contains the transparent electrode array
• Rigid silicon backbone with a protruding electrode array
• Gold interconnecting wires for electronic connection to flexible ribbon cable

Flexible Ribbon Cable:

• microfabricated array protrudes from head of the flexible ribbon cable
• 40-pin edge connector at tail for electronic connection
• Angled handle integrated into head of flexible ribbon cable for easy mounting         onto a micromanipulator

Array Specifications:

Supporting Layer Thickness: 2 microns
Gold Interconnect Thickness: 0.5 micron
Electrodes per array: up to 32 electrodes
Electrode Materials: Gold or platinum-black
Electrode Size: Variable (minimum 5-micron diameter)
Impedance: Depends on electrode size and material
Array Area: 1 mm x 2 mm maximum
Electronic Connector: Adapter boards available to meet you needs
