Outline • Introduction • Process • Results • Conclusion • References
Introduction • Neural activity recording is important to analyze neural networks • Recording site and invasiveness are issues • Proposed micro probes and tube array for neural penetrating devices fabricated by Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) method
Process • Process sequence of probe, tube with on-chip MOSFETs
Process • SEM images of Si micro probe before and after deposition of SiO2 by PECVD; (a) Before deposition, (b) After deposition
Process • Fabricated Si micro probe and SiO2 micro tube array with on-chip MOSFETs Diameter and length for Si micro probe are 2μm and 30μm respectively. SiO2 tube is 2.7μm in inner diameter, 3.6μm in outer diameter, and 29μm in length
Results • SiO2 thickness by PECVD as a function of deposition time
Results • Microscope images of maximum bending the probe and tube before breaking Probe diameter : 3μm Tube diameter : 4μm Maximum displacements of Si micro probe and SiO2 micro tube are 3.75μm and 3.25μm respectively
Results • FEM simulation results: (1) shows the available added pressure as a fuction of displacement, (b) indicates the maximum stress as a function of added pressure 2.05MPa 3.2GPa 1.95MPa 3.0GPa
Results • Estimated capable penetration pressure at the maximum stress for the micro probe and tube 1750MPa 400MPa
Results • Photographs and schematic images for which probes and tubes were penetrated (1,2) and extracted (3) from the gelatin
Conclusion • This work reports the development of Si micro probe and SiO2 micro tube array with on-chip MOSFETs for a neural recording device • This device is expected to be suitable for analysis of neural behavior with low invasiveness, which can be applied in neuron science or other applications
