First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of creating an active electrode, comprising:
- providing a flex circuit having an electrode made of a first material;
providing a first mask over the flex circuit, the first mask having an offset region and an opening that exposes the electrode;
depositing a second material over the offset region and the opening, the second material being different from the first material; and
providing a second mask over the second material, the second mask having an opening over a portion of the second material that is over the offset region.

Abstract
A method of creating an active electrode that may include providing a flex circuit having an electrode made of a first material and providing a first mask over the flex circuit, the first mask having an offset region and an opening that exposes the electrode. The method may also include depositing a second material over the offset region and the opening, the second material being different from the first material and providing a second mask over the second material, the second mask having an opening over a portion of the second material that is over the offset region.
