METHODS FOR MAKING ELECTRODES AND PROVIDING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS IN SENSORS

Abstract:

A method of forming a sensor, such as a glass electrochemical sensor, is described. In some examples, the method may include forming a plurality of apertures in a glass substrate; forming a sensor body comprising the glass substrate and at least one glass sensor component, wherein one or more apertures of the glass substrate are aligned with the at least one glass sensor component to form an outer contact aperture; filling the outer contact aperture in the sensor body with a first conducting material to form an outer contact through glass via (TGV); and forming an electrode on the glass substrate adjacent at least one of the apertures of the plurality of apertures.
