Systems and methods for forming probes for a biosensor. In the systems and methods disclosed herein, a base substrate is provided; and a platinum layer is formed on the base substrate by sputtering platinum in the absence of oxygen. The platinum layer is formed using a sputtering pressure of at least 30 mtorr.

Sputtering techniques for biosensors

Analyte sensors and methods for fabricating analyte sensors and analyte sensing layers are presented here. In accordance with certain embodiments, a method for fabricating an analyte sensor includes providing a base layer and forming a conductive layer over the base layer. Further, the method includes forming an analyte sensing layer disposed over the conductive layer. The analyte sensing layer includes glucose oxidase entrapped within a thermally-cured polymer matrix and within a UV-cured polymer matrix.
