58. A method of making an analyte sensor having supported protrusions, the method comprising:
-
combining a first substrate having a proximal end and a distal end, a second substrate having a proximal end and a distal end, and a plurality of spacers to provide a layered structure having the plurality of spacers positioned in a plane between the first substrate and the second substrate; removing material from the layered structure to provide an analyte sensor having a first protrusion at the proximal end of the first substrate and a second protrusion at the proximal end of the second substrate, wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion are supported by one of the plurality of spacers, or a portion thereof, positioned between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. - View Dependent Claims (59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75)

76. A method of making an analyte sensor having a plurality of proximal supports, the method comprising:
-
combining a first substrate having a proximal end and a distal end, a second substrate having a proximal end and a distal end, and a plurality of spacers to provide a layered structure having the plurality of spacers positioned in a plane between the first substrate and the second substrate; removing material from the layered structure to provide an analyte sensor having a first portion of one of the plurality of spacers positioned between the proximal end of the first substrate and the proximal end of the second substrate, and a second portion of said one of the plurality of spacers positioned between the proximal end of the first substrate and the proximal end of the second substrate, wherein the first and second portions of said one of the plurality of spacers are not in contact. - View Dependent Claims (77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91)
