Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method may involve forming one or more photoresist layers over a sensor located on a structure, such that the sensor is covered by the one or more photoresist layers. The sensor is configured to detect an analyte. The method may involve forming a first polymer layer. Further, the method may involve positioning the structure on the first polymer layer. Still further, the method may involve forming a second polymer layer over the first polymer layer and the structure, such that the structure is fully enclosed by the first polymer layer, the second polymer layer, and the one or more photoresist layers. The method may also involve removing the one or more photoresist layers to form a channel through the second polymer layer, wherein the sensor is configured to receive the analyte via the channel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising: forming one or more photoresist layers over a sensor located on a structure, such that the sensor is covered by the one or more photoresist layers, wherein the sensor is configured to detect an analyte; forming a first polymer layer, wherein the first polymer layer defines a posterior side of an eye-mountable device; positioning the structure on the first polymer layer; forming a second polymer layer over the first polymer la…
