ABSTRACT
Microelectrode arrays of carbon nanotube (CNT)/carbon composite posts with high aspect ratio and millimeter-length were fabricated using carbon-nanotube-templated microfabrication with a sacrificial "hedge". The high aspect ratio, mechanical robustness, and electrical conductivity of these electrodes make them a potential candidate for next-generation neural interfacing. Electrochemical measurements were also demonstrated using an individual CNT post microelectrode with a diameter of 25 µm and a length of 1 mm to perform cyclic voltammetry on both methyl viologen and dopamine in a phosphate-buffered saline solution. In addition to detection of the characteristic peaks, the CNT post microelectrodes show a fast electrochemical response, which may be enabling for in vivo and/or in vitro measurements. The CNT post electrode fabrication process was also integrated with other microfabrication techniques, resulting in individually addressable electrodes.
