    摘要: An implantable medical electrode includes a substrate and an iridium oxide surface, which is formed by an iridium oxide film applied over a roughened surface of the substrate. The film is preferably applied via direct current magnetron sputtering in a sputtering atmosphere comprising argon and oxygen. A sputtering target power may be between approximately 80 watts and approximately 300 watts, and a total sputtering pressure may be between approximately 9 millitorr and approximately 20 millitorr. The iridium oxide film may have a thickness greater than or equal to approximately 15,000 angstroms and have a microstructure exhibiting a columnar growth pattern.

    摘要: A method for fabricating an implantable medical electrode includes roughening the electrode substrate, applying an adhesion layer, and depositing a valve metal oxide coating over the adhesion layer under conditions optimized to minimize electrode impedance and post-pulse polarization. The electrode substrate may be a variety of electrode metals or alloys including titanium, platinum, platinum-iridium, or niobium. The adhesion layer may be formed of titanium or zirconium. The valve metal oxide coating is a ruthenium oxide coating sputtered onto the adhesion layer under controlled target power, sputtering pressure, and sputter gas ratio setting optimized to minimize electrode impedance and post-pulse polarization.
