Abstract:
We present the fabrication of highly P-doped single crystal silicon electrodes on a silicon probe through complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible processes. The electrode with diameter of 50 lm and a separation of 200 lm is designed for recording/stimulating purposes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicates that the interfacial impedance of silicon electrodes at 1 KHz is 2.560.4 MX, which is equivalent to the result reported from the gold (Au) electrode. To further enhance the charge storage capacity, composites of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Au nanoparticles are electroplated onto the highly P-doped silicon electrode after surface roughness treatments. With optimized electroplating processes, MWCNTs and Au nanoparticles are selectively coated onto the electrode site with only a minimum enlargement in physical diameter of electrode (
