Patent ID: 8705223

Claim:
A method for producing an insulated electrode, the method comprising: (a) forming a mold in an electrically insulating material, the mold comprising at least one channel, and the mold being adapted to confine a conductive material, the mold being formed by at least the following steps: forming a photosensitive layer onto a support substrate; patterning this photosensitive layer; pouring a first layer of the electrically insulating material onto the substrate to obtain an intermediate substrate comprising a support substrate with a layer including the insulating material and the pattern of photosensitive material; bonding a second layer of insulating material onto the intermediate substrate; removing the support substrate and the pattern of photosensitive material; and bonding a third layer of insulating material onto the first insulated material including the pattern; and (b) introducing the conductive material in a liquid state into the channel of the mold, the conductive material having a melting point that is lower than the melting point of the electrically insulating material: wherein the insulated electrode comprises the conductive material coated with the electrically insulating material.
