Patent ID: 7575709

Claim:
A method of making a solid state electrochemical sensor, the sensor comprising a plurality of electrodes partially disposed within an electrolyte, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing the electrolyte; b) casting the electrolyte to form an electrolyte tape, wherein the electrolyte tape has a wet first surface; c) providing the plurality of electrodes; d) contacting a portion of each of the plurality of electrodes with a first portion of the wet first surface; e) contacting a second portion of the wet first surface with the portion of each of the plurality of electrodes and the first portion of the wet first surface, wherein each of the plurality of electrodes is partially embedded within the electrolyte; f) drying the electrolyte tape and the partially embedded plurality of electrodes to form a green sensor body; and g) sintering the green sensor body to form the solid state electrochemical sensor.
