A TSV-Based Heterogeneous Integrated Neural-Signal Recording Device with Microprobe Array

Abstract

Highly integrated and miniaturized neural sensing microsystems are crucial for brain function investigation and neural prostheses realization. This paper presents a TSV-based heterogeneous integrated neural-signal recording device with microprobe array. By TSV, microprobe array and CMOS circuit make connection on the opposite sides of the chip. By measurement results on electrical characteristics of devices and TSV, this recording device is ready for bio-medical applications.
