Systems and methods for stimulating neural tissue are disclosed. An array of optically emissive pixels is configured to deliver light to the neural tissue of a subject. Individual pixels within the array can be addressed to selectively illuminate a portion of the neural tissue when a neurological event occurs. The system can also include an array of microelectrodes in electrical communication with the array of pixels and a power source. A biocompatible substrate can be used to support the microelectrodes pixels, and the power source. A microelectrode circuit and a pixel circuit can also be supported by the biocompatible substrate.

Integrated high-resolution untethered flexible neural implant

Some embodiments include a method of providing a semiconductor device. The method can include: (a) providing a flexible substrate; (b) depositing at least one layer of material over the flexible substrate, wherein the deposition of the at least one layer of material over the flexible substrate occurs at a temperature of at least 180&#xb0; C.; and (c) providing a diffusion barrier between a metal layer and an a-Si layer. Other embodiments are disclosed in this application.

Method of providing a flexible semiconductor device at high temperatures and flexible semiconductor device thereof

A field emission device ( ) includes a cathode ( ) and a ballast resistor ( ) connected to cathode ( ). Ballast resistor ( ) includes a thin metallic layer ( ) and a protective layer ( ) disposed on metallic layer ( ). Metallic layer ( ) is made from chromium and has a thickness of about 40 angstroms. Protective layer ( ) is made from sputtered silicon and has a thickness of about 500 angstroms. A portion of metallic layer ( ) makes physical contact with cathode ( ) and is sandwiched between cathode ( ) and protective layer ( ). Protective layer ( ) is positioned to shield metallic layer ( ) from high transient voltages.
