    摘要: An apparatus and method for improving electrical contact between an implanted device (10) for recording or stimulating neuronal activity and surrounding tissue (12) (e.g., brain tissue, nerve fibers, etc.). In an exemplary embodiment, a nanometer sized topographic structure (36, 136) (e.g., a nanometer scale pillar) is processed for electrical connection with a corresponding electrode (30, 32) of the implanted device (10). The nanometer scale topographic structure (36, 136) bridges a gap (26) between the implanted device (10) and surrounding tissue (12), thus improving neuron-electrode coupling therebetween. The present disclosure can also be extended to any application where capacitive coupling to single or multiple cells (20) can be used for sensing and/or stimulation thereof.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for electrostimulation treatment of neurological diseases is disclosed herein. The apparatus and method include an array (22) of sub-micron (and sub-cell size) FET electrodes (24) that are capacitively coupled to nervous system elements (both neurons (50) and axons (66)) as a replacement for traditional metal shanks in both single- and multi-electrode(s) electrostimulation implantable devices. By using such an approach, significant improvements in selectivity, power consumption and biocompatibility can be achieved, as well as relying on mainstream IC manufacture techniques for the manufacture thereof, making it cost-effective. The present disclosure can also be extended to any application where capacitive coupling to single or multiple cells can be used for sensing and/or stimulation thereof.

In this way the device (10) can be easily provided with lateral insulation regions. Also the end regions of the gate electrodes (7,8) can in this way be surrounded by insulation regions.

    摘要: A semiconductor device (1) and a method are disclosed for obtaining on a substrate (2) a multilayer structure (3) with a quantum well structure (4). The quantum well structure (4) comprises a semiconductor layer (5) sandwiched by insulating layers (6,6′), wherein the material of the insulating layers (6,6′) has preferably a high dielectric constant. In a FET the quantum wells (4,9) function as channels, allowing a higher drive current and a lower off current. Short channel effects are reduced. The multi-channel FET is suitable to operate even for sub-35 nm gate lengths.In the method the quantum wells are formed by epitaxial growth of the high dielectric constant material and the semiconductor material alternately on top of each other, preferably with MBE.
