Parallel Electroplating of Multiple Materials Using Patterned Gels for Electrochemical Sensing

Electrodeposition is a widely used method to fabricate electrodes in microscale electroanalytical devices. In this method, low cost materials such as copper are coated with higher cost but functional materials such as gold or silver. Conventional methods of electroplating, which use a sequential process of coating one material at a time, consumes a significant amount of time for deposition of multiple materials. In addition, they use a large …
