An electrode is provided. The electrode includes a contact pad composed of boron-doped polycrystalline diamond (BDD); a fiber core composed of BDD extending longitudinally from the contact pad from a first end that is in direct contact with the contact pad to an opposing second end; and a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cladding that coats and hermetically seals the contact pad and the fiber core. A first portion of the contact pad and a second portion at or near the second end of the fiber core are not coated and hermetically scaled by the PCD cladding. A method of fabricating the electrode is also provided.

Implantable all diamond microelectrode and fabrication method

An implantable device is provided. The implantable device includes a flexible polymeric substrate that extends through an aperture in an electrically conductive material to form an anchor that partially covers the electrically conductive material. Methods for fabricating the implantable device are also provided.
