    摘要: A surface area of an IMD electrode is increased by forming a conductive layer over an external portion of a sidewall of an IMD connector header and electrically coupling the conductive layer of the connector header to a conductive mounting surface of a hermetically sealed IMD housing; wherein the conductive mounting surface is an extension of an external conductive surface of the IMD, which external conductive surface forms the IMD electrode that is increased in surface area by the conductive layer formed over the connector header.

    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.
