Definitions
- the present invention relates to implantable analyte sensors.
- implantable glucose sensors have been developed. Examples include those described in U.S. Patent numbers 5,387,327, 5,41 1 ,647; and 5,476,776; as well as those described in PCT International Publication numbers WO 91/15993; WO 94/20602; WO 96/06947; and WO 97/19344
- the implantable glucose sensors usually include a polymer substrate, with metal electrodes printed on the surface of the substrate.
- a biocompatible membrane covers the electrodes, allowing glucose to reach the electrodes, while excluding other molecules, such as proteins.
- Electrochemistry is used to determine the quantity of glucose present
- the glucose sensor is implanted into a patient, and the elec- trodes may be attached via wires that pass out of the patient's body to external circuitry that controls the electrodes, measures and reports the glucose concentration.
- external circuitry that controls the electrodes, measures and reports the glucose concentration.
- all or part of this external circuitry may be miniaturized and included in the implantable glucose sensor.
- a transmitter such as that described in WO 97/19344, may even be included in the implantable glucose sensor, completely eliminating the need for leads that pass out of the patient.
- a problem associated with an amperomet ⁇ c glucose sensor is unstable signals. This may result from degradation of the en/vme from interaction with protein, leakage of the enzyme, and/or fouling of the electrode
- the usual way to overcome this is to use the above described biocompatible membrane, or a coating
- several problems are also associated with these membranes. For example, Nafion-based biosensor membranes exhibit cracking, flaking, pro ⁇ tein adhesion, and calcium deposits. Mineralization of polymer-based membranes occurs in the biological environment, resulting in cracking and changes in permeability.
- the pore size distribution usually follows some kind of probability distribution (e.g. gaussian), which leaves a finite probability for large proteins to eventually transfer through the membrane Drift may be caused by this leakage or inadequate diffusion properties, and events at the body-sensor interface such as biofouhng and protein adsorption, encapsulation with fibrotic tissue, and degradation of the device material over time.
- some kind of probability distribution e.g. gaussian
- membranes with nominal pore sizes as small as 20 nm are available. Even so, the filtration at these dimensions is far from absolute.
- the most common filters are polymeric membranes formed from a solvent-casting process, which result in a pore size distribution with variations as large as 30%
- the use of ion-track etching to form membranes e.g. MILLPORE ISOPORE
- MILLPORE ISOPORE produces a much tighter pore size distribution ( ⁇ 10%)
- these membranes have low porosities ( ⁇ 10 9 pores/cm ), limited pore sizes, and the pores are randomly distributed across the surface.
- Porous alumina e.g. WHATMAN

- Figure 12 shows a cut away view of an embodiment of the present invention similar to that shown in Figure 10, except for the presence of a third electrode 8 and a third lead 12 Although so illustrated, the number of electrodes may be different from the number of leads.
- the membrane is composed of a hard material that has been micromachined
- the membrane comprises elemental silicon
- other hard, biocompatable materials that can be micromachined are possible, such as metals (for example titanium), ceramics (for example, silica or silicon nitride), and polymers (such as polvtetrafluoroethylene, polymethyl- methacrvlate, polystyrenes and sihcones)
- Micromachimng is a process that includes photo ⁇ lithography, such as that used in the semiconductor industry, to remove material from, or add material too, a substrate
- a special property of the membrane is a defined pore size, which has a small size distribution compared to the size distribution of standard membranes Due to tight tolerances in the manufacturing process, the pore si/e can be controlled at precise diameters, for example 1 to 50 nm, or 5 to 20 nm, or even 5 to 15 nm (such as 12 nm, 18 nm or even 25 nm), with a variation of +/- 0 01-20%, +/-0 1 10% or even -r7- l-5% Therefore molecules above this size can be excluded with high certainty, since the size distribution has the shape of a top hat, rather than a bell curve, and hence pore sizes above, for example 12 nm, 18 nm, 25 nm or 50 nm are not present These membranes can exclude interfering molecules, such as proteins, which could otherwise cause major drift problems of the sensor, when the sensor is implanted in vivo Signal drift is a change in the magnitude of the signal from a sensor which is unrelated to changes in an

- a further etching step may be used to separate the individual membrane/ substrate units.
- the reagent is deposited through the individual openings and the openings are sealed using, for example a polymer sealant.
- the individual sensors are then separated, incorporated into a flexible, inner coating, for example silicone rubber, and indi- vidually coated with an outer coating, such as a biocompatible layer.
- the reagent is deposited on the electrodes before the membrane and substrate are attached. In this case, thermal bonding is not possible, since the enzyme in the reagent would be destroyed.
- the individual membranes and substrates are first separated and the individual sensors are assembled by bonding one membrane with one substrate using a suitable bonding agent, for example, cyanoacrylate.
- a suitable bonding agent for example, cyanoacrylate.
- the individual sensors are incorporated into a flexible, inner coating, for example silicone rubber, and individually coated with an outer coating, such as a biocompatible layer.
- the sensor can be inserted into the skin using a needle applicator.
- the control unit typically remains outside the body and can be connected to the sensor element through electrical wires (leads).

- conductive materials such as pure metals or alloys, or other materials which are metallic conductors. Examples include aluminum, carbon (such as graphite), cobalt, copper, gallium, gold, indium, iridium, iron, lead, magnesium, mercury (as an amalgam
- the electrodes include gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, or alloys of these metals, since such noble metals and their alloys are unreactive in biological systems
- the electrodes may be any thickness, but preferably are 10 nm to 1 mm, more preferably, 20 nm to 100 ⁇ m, or even 25 nm to 1 ⁇ m
- At least two electrodes must be present The number of electrodes may be 2- 1000, or 3-200, or even 3-99 Individual electrode sets (2 or 3 electrodes) may be separated into individual chambers, each covered with the membrane Furthermore, individual electrode sets (2 or 3 electrodes) may each have a different reagent, allowing for an implantable analvte sensor that can measure at least two, such as 3-100, or 4-20, different analytes
- the microelectronic circuitry may include some or all of the electrical components normally external to the implantable analyte sensor, such as a microprocessor, an amplifier, or a power supply If the microelectronic circuitry also includes a transmitter, or another device for sending information wirelessly, such as a laser which emits light through the skin, then there is no need to include the leads Alternatively, the microelectronic circuitry may not be present, in which case the lead will directly electrically connect the electrodes with external electrical components

- the reagent is optional, and mav be used to provide electrochemical probes for specific analytes.
- the reagent may be as simple as a single enzyme, such as glucose oxidase or glucose hydrogenase for the detection of glucose.
- the enzyme may be immobilized or "wired” as described in PCT Publication WO 96/06947.
- the reagents may optionally also include a mediator, to enhance sensitivity of the sensor.
- the starting reagents are the reactants or components of the reagent, and are often compounded together in liquid form before application to the electrodes. The liquid may then evaporate, leaving the reagent in solid form.
- a reagent for measurement of glucose can contain 62.2 mg polyethylene oxide (mean molecular weight of 100-900 kilodaltons), 3.3 mg NATROSOL 250 M, 41.5 mg AVICEL RC- 591 F, 89.4 mg monobasic potassium phosphate, 157.9 mg dibasic potassium phosphate, 437.3 mg potassium fer ⁇ cyanide, 46 0 mg sodium succinate, 148.0 mg trehalose, 2.6 mg TRITON X- 100 surfactant, and 2,000 to 9,000 units of enzyme activity per gram of reagent.
- the enzyme is prepared as an enzyme solution from 12.5 mg coenzyme PQQ and 1.21 million units of the apoenzyme of quinoprotein glucose dehvdrogenase, forming a solution of quinoprotein glucose dehydrogenase.
- This reagent is described in WO 99/30152, pages 7-10, hereby incorporated by referece.
- At least one additional enzyme is used as a reaction catalyst
- some of the examples shown in Table 1 may utilize an additional mediator, which facilitates electron transfer to the oxidized form of the mediator
- the additional mediator may be provided to the reagent in lesser amount than the oxidized form of the mediator
- the buried nitride etch stop layer acts as an etchant stop during the formation of nanometer scale pores
- the buried nitride etch stop layer facilitates three-dimensional control of the pore structure, and facilitates the formation of pores less than 50 nanometers in diameter Moreover, these pores can be uniformly formed across the entire wafer
- the first step in the fabrication protocol is to etch a support ridge structure into a substrate
- the ridges provide mechanical rigidity to the subsequently formed membrane structure
- FIG. 1 illustrates a substrate 20 with a nitride etch stop layer 22 formed thereon
- the base structural layer (base layer) of the membrane is deposited on top of the stop layer 22 Since the etch stop layer 22 is thin, the structural layer is deposited down into the support ridges formed in the substrate 20 In one embodiment, 5 ⁇ m of polysihcon is used as the base layer Figure 2 illustrates the base layer 24 positioned on the etch stop layer 22 Low stress silicon nitride may also be used as the base layer, in which case it operates as its own etch stop layer
- the next processing step is to etch holes in the base layer 24 to define the shape of the pores
- Masks such as those used in traditional semiconductor processing, may be used to define the pores
- the holes may be etched through the polysi con by chlorine plasma, with a thermally grown oxide layer used as a mask In this step, it is important to make sure the etching goes completely through the base layer 24, so a 10-15% overetch is preferably used.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the result of this processing In particular, the figure illustrates holes 26 formed in the base layer 24, but terminating in the nitride etch stop laver 22
- Pore sacrificial oxide is subsequently grown on the base layer 24
- Figure 4 illustrates a sacrificial oxide 28 positioned on the base laver 24
- the sacrificial oxide thickness determines the pore size in the final membrane, so control of this step is critical to reproducible membranes This is accomplished by the thermal oxidation of the base layer 24 (e g , a growth temperature of between 850-950°C for approximately one hour with a ten minute anneal)
- the base layer 24 e g , a growth temperature of between 850-950°C for approximately one hour with a ten minute anneal
- a thermally evaporated tungsten film may be used as a sacrificial layer for polymer membranes and selectively removed with hydrogen peroxide
- the basic requirement of the sacrificial laver is the ability to control the thickness with high precision across the entire wafer
- Thermal oxidation of both polysihcon and nitride allows the control of the sacrificial layer thickness of less than 5% across the entire wafer Limitations on this control arise from local inhomogeneities in the base layer, such as the initial thickness of the native oxide (especially for polys
- the plug layer 32 is planarized down to the base layer, leaving the final structure with the plug layer only in the pore hole openings, as shown in Figure 7.
- planarization depends on the material used as the plug material.
- the hard micro-fabrication materials polysihcon and nitride
- chemical mechanical polishing was used for planarization.
- the other materials studied were roughly planarized using a plasma etch, with a quick wet chemical smoothing. This technique has the advantage that, assuming it is not etched by the plasma used, the base layer is not affected, but has the disadvantage of the need for controlled etch timing to avoid completely etching the plugs themselves.
- a protective layer 34 is deposited on the wafer (completely covering both sides of the wafer).
- the requirements of the protective layer 34 are that it be impervious to the silicon etch (KOH for these studies) and that it be removed without removing the plug 32 or base 24 structural layers.
- a thin nitride layer is used as the protective layer (nitride is not etched at all by KOH and dissolves slowly in HF).
- silicon is used as a protective layer, due to the processing temperature necessary for nitride deposition (835° C).
- FIG. 8 illustrates the resultant aperture 36 formed in the substrate 20.
- the purpose of the membranes is to allow the analyte of interest (such as glucose) to diffuse through the membrane, while excluding large molecules (such as proteins). Therefore, two important characteristics of the membranes are glucose diffusion and albumin diffusion. All tests are carried out at room temperature (25°C). The following is a glucose diffusion test:
- Diffusion of glucose is measured using a mini diffusion chamber constructed around the membranes.
- the diffusion chamber fabricated out of acrylic, consists of two compartments A and B with fixed volumes of 2 ml, separated by the desired membrane, sealed with o-rings, and screwed together.
- Glucose is measured on either side of the membrane using the diffusion chamber by means of a quantitative enzymatic assay (TRINDERTM, SIGMA) and coloromet ⁇ c reading via a spec- trophotometer.
- Starting glucose concentrations for all tests were 6,666 mg/dl and 0.0 mg/dl in chambers A and B, respectively.
- Samples of 0.1 ml are taken from the diffusion chamber and 10 ⁇ l of that are added to 3 ml of glucose reagent in a cuvette, and mixed gently by inversion. Each tube is incubated for 18 minutes at room temperature and then readings are taken at a wavelength of 505 nm.
- the reagent is linear up to 750 mg/dl.
- the diffusion chamber itself is attached to a motor for stirring in order to minimize boundary layer effects (diffusion resis ⁇ tance at the liquid/membrane interface).
- the receptor cell is first filled with phosphate buffer saline (PBS) for fifteen minutes before the filling of the donor cell.
- PBS phosphate buffer saline
- the donor cell is filled with solutions of glucose in PBS in varying concentrations.
- Albumin BCP bromocresol purple, SIGMA
- the presence of any protein in chamber B is measured using the Bradford Method (MICRO PROTEIN KIT, SIGMA). This method quantitates the binding of Coomassie bril ⁇ liant blue to an unknown protein and compares this binding to that of different amounts of a standard protein. Albumin is used as a standard protein. This method quantifies 1 to 100 micrograms protein using a standard curve, with sensitivity down to 10 mg/dl or 0.1 g/dl protein. The absorbance is measured at 595 nm. Analysis of membranes
- the presence of albumin does not seem to impede passage of glucose through the membranes, nor slow down glucose transport. No detectable amounts of albumin diffuse through the micromachined membrane. The same membrane, however, shows glucose diffusion. The micromachined membranes are able to achieve complete exclusion of albumin (to within the limits of detection), while allowing glucose diffusion. Comparing diffusion rates with that of commercially available membranes, the micromachined membranes have glucose diffusion properties comparable to MILLIPORE and alumina WHATMAN membranes with similar pore sizes.
- the passage of albumin through the micromachined membrane is measured by looking at the change of albumin concentration in chamber A and chamber B over time.
- BCP assay there are no detectable traces of albumin in chamber B.
- the amount of albumin in chamber B may have been below the limits of detectability of this assay system.
- the Bradford Method was also employed.
- this microassay again no detectable amounts of albumin were found in chamber B for the micromachined membrane, but small amounts of protein were found in chamber B using both the MILLIPORE and WHATMAN membranes.
- the amounts of albumin detected after 420 minutes in chamber B were approximately 0.25 g/dl and 0.20 g/dl albumin for the MILLIPORE and WHATMAN mem- branes, respectively.
- Glucose does diffuse through micromachined membranes at a rate comparable to commercially available membranes. At the same time, albumin is excluded from passage. In mixed solutions of glucose and albumin, only glucose diffuses through the micromachined membranes.
