Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating an integrated intraocular retinal prosthesis device having an electrode array region, a power and data management region and a cable region connecting the electrode region with the power and data management region, the method comprising: forming a patterned layer of conductive material on a first layer of polymer material, said patterned conductive layer defining circuit elements of the power and data management region, the electrode region and the cable region wherein the circuit elements of the power and data management region include one or more RF coil elements formed of the conductive material; covering the patterned conductive layer with a second polymer layer; and removing a portion of the second polymer layer in the electrode array region so as to expose at least a portion of the patterned conductive layer to form an exposed electrode array.
