Abstract

We report for the first time a micromachined, silicon neural probe with an integrated iridium oxide (IrOx) quasi reference electrode for neurochemical recordings. The probes have a 1.5×103 μm 2 IrOx reference electrode, a 1.5×103 μm2 Pt counter electrode, three circular Pt working electrodes, and three circular IrOx electrodes for electrical recording. Several different electrode sizes (4 to 50μm radius) were fabricated in order to study the effects of electrode size. In vitro evaluation of the probes demonstrated close correlation between results obtained using a Ag/AgCl reference electrode and the on-chip IrOx reference electrode.
