title: Fabrication of microelectrodes using the lift-off technique.
abstract: The lift-off technique is one of the most prevalent methods for fabricating microelectrodes on a flat surface (e.g., a silicon [Si] wafer). It represents an alternative for metal-etching techniques that often utilize hazardous chemicals in order to define a pattern. This chapter presents an example of patterning gold electrodes on an Si wafer.
