Abstract
A method for forming an implantable electrode () includes exposing a conductive surface of the electrode () with a first application of an excimer laser () and creating a first surface texture on a conductive surface with a second application of the excimer laser. In one example, a low impedance implantable electrode includes a conductive surface and a coating disposed over the conductive surface. The coating may have a lower contact impedance with biological tissue than the conductive surface. At least a portion of the coating has an excimer laser textured surface.
