Claim:
1. A method of fabricating an implantable device, comprising the steps of: providing a cylindrical base having an elongated cylindrical surface, providing a rotation system for rotating said cylindrical base, providing a deposition system for depositing material on said elongated cylindrical surface of said cylindrical base, using said rotation system and said deposition system to deposit a first electrode, a second electrode, a third electrode, and a fourth electrode on said elongated cylindrical surface of said cylindrical base so that said first electrode, said second electrode, said a third electrode, and said fourth electrode are aligned on said elongated cylindrical surface of said cylindrical base, using said rotation system and said deposition system to deposit a first electrically conducting lead on said elongated cylindrical surface of said cylindrical base in a manner that allows said first electrically conducting lead to be curved and connected to said first electrode, to deposit a second electrically conducting lead on said elongated cylindrical surface of said elongated cylindrical base in a manner that allows said second electrically conducting lead to be curved and connected to said second electrode, to deposit a third electrically conducting lead on said elongated cylindrical surface of said cylindrical base in a manner that allows said third electrically conducting lead to be curved and connected to said third electrode, to deposit a fourth electrically conducting lead on said elongated cylindrical surface of said cylindrical base in a manner that allows said second electrically conducting lead to be curved and connected to said fourth electrode, and using said rotation system and said deposition system to deposit a protective coating on said elongated cylindrical surface of said cylindrical base covering said first electrically conducting lead, said second electrically conducting lead, said third electrically conducting lead, and said fourth electrically conducting lead.
