    Abstract: A method of fabricating a circuit board is provided. An elastic bump material layer is formed on a substrate and then is patterned to form a plurality of first elastic bumps and a plurality of second elastic bumps, arranged in at least an array. A conductive layer is formed and then is patterned to form a patterned circuit layer to cover first plurality of elastic bumps and a portion of the substrate. An entirety of the plurality of second elastic bumps and another portion of the substrate are not covered by the patterned circuit layer. A protection layer is formed to cover a portion of the patterned circuit layer, a second number of the plurality of second elastic bumps entirely, a third number of the plurality of second elastic bumps partially and the another portion of the substrate, and expose the first number of the plurality of second elastic bumps.

    Abstract: Polymer materials are useful as electrode array bodies for neural stimulation. They are particularly useful for retinal stimulation to create artificial vision, cochlear stimulation to create artificial hearing, and cortical stimulation, and many related purposes. The pressure applied against the retina, or other neural tissue, by an electrode array is critical. Too little pressure causes increased electrical resistance, along with electric field dispersion. Too much pressure may block blood flow. Common flexible circuit fabrication techniques generally require that a flexible circuit electrode array be made flat. Since neural tissue is almost never flat, a flat array will necessarily apply uneven pressure. Further, the edges of a flexible circuit polymer array may be sharp and cut the delicate neural tissue. By applying the right amount of heat to a completed array, a curve can be induced. With a thermoplastic polymer it may be further advantageous to repeatedly heat the flexible circuit in multiple molds, each with a decreasing radius. Further, it is advantageous to add material along the edges. It is further advantageous to provide a fold or twist in the flexible circuit array. Additional material may be added inside and outside the fold to promote a good seal with tissue.
