   Abstract:
   Cardiac needle (plunge) electrode arrays are constructed utilizing integrated-circuit fabrication techniques. These new plunge electrodes can be built cheaply, precisely, and in large quantity. More importantly, the needle can be made up to two orders of magnitude smaller in cross-sectional area compared to conventional man-made electrodes. Minimizing this probe size not only reduces the cell damage caused by the probe's insertion into the tissue, but also possibly permits measurements of cellular effects.
