Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and/or device with a miniaturized impedance sensor. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a substrate with locally non-flexible regions interconnected by a flexible material and a miniaturized impedance sensor disposed on the substrate. The miniaturized impedance sensor may include: an array of electrical contacts; an array of miniaturized electrodes disposed on the array of electrical contacts; and an interstitial filler disposed within the array of miniaturized electrodes. The locally non-flexible regions may correspond to subsets of the array of miniaturized electrodes. The locally non-flexible regions may retain shape as the flexible material changes shape.

Abstract: A method includes depositing a layer of alumina over a silicon substrate, providing a patterned photoresist over the layer of alumina, providing an iron catalyst layer over the patterned photoresist, providing the iron catalyst layer over an exposed portion of the alumina, providing a first iron catalyst site over a first portion of the alumina, providing a second iron catalyst site over a second portion of the alumina, growing a first carbon nanotube on the first iron catalyst site, growing a second carbon nanotube on the second iron catalyst site, infiltrating the first carbon nanotube and the second carbon nanotube with carbon, and cooling both the first carbon nanotube and the second carbon nanotube. The infiltrating strengthens the first carbon nanotube and the second carbon nanotube to not delaminate from the substrate when the first carbon nanotube and the second carbon nanotube are cooled.

Abstract: The present approach relates to the fabrication and use of a probe array having multiple individual probes. In one embodiment, the probes of the probe array may be functionalized such that certain of the probes are suitable for electrical sensing (e.g., recording) or stimulation, non-electrical sensing or stimulation (e.g., chemical sensing and/or release of biomolecules when activated), or a combination of electrical and non-electrical sensing or stimulation.
