PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITED BIOSENSOR COMPONENTS

Abstract:

A biosensor component that provides enhanced characteristics for use in biosensors, such as blood glucose sensors. The biosensor component comprises a substrate, and a composite layer deposited on the substrate. The composite layer includes a conductive metal component and a resistive material component, where the conductive metal component comprises one or more non-noble metals, and where the resistive material component in the composite layer is present in an amount greater than 20 atomic percent.
