Zusammenfassung:Analyte sensors and methods for fabricating analyte sensors are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method for fabricating a planar flexible analyte sensor includes sputtering platinum onto a polyester base layer to form a layer of platinum. The method includes patterning the layer of platinum to form working electrodes and additional electrodes. Further, the method includes forming an insulating dielectric layer over the base layer, wherein the insulating dielectric layer is formed with openings exposing portions of the working electrodes and portions of the additional electrodes. Also, the method includes partially singulating individual sensors from the base layer, wherein each individual sensor is connected to the base layer by a tab. The method further includes depositing an enzyme layer over the exposed portions of the working electrodes and coating the working electrodes with a glucose limiting membrane.
