PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITED BIOSENSOR COMPONENTS

Abstract:

A biosensor component is provided that provides enhanced characteristics for use in biosensors, such as blood glucose sensors. The biosensor component comprises a substrate and a conductive layer coated on the substrate. The conductive layer includes nickel, chromium, and iron, such that a combined weight percent of the nickel and chromium in the conductive layer is in the range of 80 to less than 95 weight percent, and the weight percent of iron in the conductive layer is greater than 5 weight percent and less than 12 weight percent.
