Hi,

surfing the MEMS web site, I found this interesting abstract:

Silicon Micromachined Devices for in Vivo and In Vitro Studies of Neural
Networks, Thesis by Svetlant Tatic-Lucicc, Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical
Engineering, California Institute of Technology

This the paragraph in which I'm most interested:

"... the novelty of these devices is a neuron well structure fabricated in a
16-20 um-thick silicon membrane using a double-sided micromachining
technique...."

I would appreciate any references, postscript files, bibliography on this
specific subject.

The bottom line is that I want to fabricate a very thick insulating layers on
top of microelectrodes, a very similar application to neural wells, but for a
different purpose.

Thank's in advance
