Abstract Scope |
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a semiconductor that displays ceramic-like properties. Long known for its hardness and resistance to chemical attack, numerous reports of SiC as a potential material for interfacing with the human body have been around for decades. However only recently has a comprehensive look into SiC for biomedical devices been undertaken. The USF SiC Group started to study the biocompatibility of various SiC single-crystalline forms, known as polytypes, in 2005 and our research was aimed at understanding the potential of SiC for biomedical applications. We have since developed SiC for several biomedical applications. In this talk we will focus on using carbon-based conductors to realize long-term, highly neural-compatible, interfaces and review progress to date on all-SiC interfaces which have shown the possibility of being MRI compatible. |
