This paper develops a thin film metallization process for ceramic-based active implants that improves adhesion and reduces soldering time compared to traditional screen-printing methods.

This study evaluates the long-term reliability of thin-film electrodes implanted in human arm nerves, showing no corrosion or degradation after six months.

This paper evaluates the stability of thin-film metallization in flexible neural electrodes during in vivo use and finds that silicon carbide improves adhesion and prevents delamination.
