본 발명은 안테나가 구비된 복합패치전극 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 생체신호를 측정하거나 자극하기 위해 피부에 부착하는 패치 전극에 인체통신용 안테나 패턴을 융합하여, 복합용도로 작동할 수 있도록 하는 안테나가 구비된 복합패치전극 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a composite patch electrode provided with an antenna and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, by fusing an antenna pattern for human communication to a patch electrode attached to the skin in order to measure or stimulate a bio-signal, to operate in a composite application The present invention relates to a composite patch electrode provided with an antenna and a manufacturing method thereof.
일반적으로 복합패치 전극은 도 1 및 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 생체적합성이 좋으면서 피부에 부착성이 높은 재료(Dow Corning Soft skin Adhesives MG7-9800~9900 등)에 은나노 또는 탄소나노구조체(CNT, Graphine 등)를 분산시켜 전도성을 형성시킨 재료를 소프트리소그래피 공정으로 패터닝된 몰드에 주입하여 큐어링(Curing)시켜 제작이 가능하다. 그리고 생체신호측정을 위한 패턴과 근거리 인체 통신을 위한 안테나 전극 패턴이 독립적으로 구성되도록 몰드를 디자인하여 제작한다. 제작된 2부분의 패치에 복합 작동 회로를 연결한다. 이때, 생체신호측정 또는 자극을 위한 패턴부분과 인체통신용 패턴부분이 복합 회로의 생체신호측정용 연결부와 인체통신 안테나 연결부에 구분되어 연결된다. In general, the composite patch electrode may be formed of silver nano or carbon nano structure (CNT) on a material having good biocompatibility and high adhesion to skin as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 (Dow Corning Soft skin Adhesives MG7-9800 ~ 9900, etc.). It is possible to manufacture by dispersing a conductive material by dispersing graphite (eg, Graphine, etc.) into a patterned mold by a soft lithography process. In addition, the mold is designed and manufactured to independently configure the pattern for biosignal measurement and the antenna electrode pattern for short-range human body communication. Connect the combined actuation circuit to the fabricated two part patch. At this time, the pattern portion for the biosignal measurement or stimulation and the pattern portion for the human communication are divided and connected to the biosignal measurement connection portion and the human body communication antenna connection portion of the composite circuit.
복합 작동 시스템은 시분할 방식으로 서로간의 신호간섭이 없는 시간 동안 생체신호측정 또는 자극과 인체통신을 구현한다. 현재 제품으로 시판되고 있는 생체신호측정 또는 자극을 위한 패치 전극은 은/염화은 전극이거나 금속전극을 피부 부착성 재료 가운데 넣어 피부에 부착되는 방식이다. 은/염화은 전극은 장시간 피부에 부착할 경우 피부 질환을 유도하는 문제가 있어 장시간 사용이 불가능하다. The complex operating system implements biosignal measurement or stimulus and human body communication in a time-division manner during periods of no signal interference. Patch electrodes for biosignal measurement or stimulation that are currently commercially available are silver / silver chloride electrodes or metal electrodes that are attached to the skin by placing them in a skin-adhesive material. The silver / silver chloride electrode has a problem of inducing a skin disease when it is attached to the skin for a long time, so it cannot be used for a long time.
또한, 금속 박막을 피부부착 재료로 덮어서 사용하는 경우 유연성이 없는 금속부분때문에 이물감으로 사용자에게 불편함이 있다. In addition, when the metal thin film is used to cover the skin adhesion material is inconvenient for the user due to foreign matter because of the inflexible metal parts.
또한, 현재 시판되고 있는 패치 전극들은 생체신호측정 또는 자극을 위한 용도로 한정되어 있고, 초저전력 근거리 인체통신을 구현하기 위한 안테나 전극은 은/염화은 패치를 사용하거나 PCB 또는 FPCB(Flexible PCB) 상부에 구리나 금 등의 금속박막을 형성하여 사용하고 있다. 따라서, 생체신호측정 인체통신용 안테나 전극이 따로 구성되어 넓은 부위의 여러 부위 피부에 부착되어야 하는 불편함이 있다. 특히, 생체신호측정 또는 자극과 인체통신 모두 비교적 낮은 주파수 대역과 낮은 데이터 송수신 양을 사용하고 있어, 비효율적인 상황이다. In addition, commercially available patch electrodes are limited to biosignal measurement or stimulation, and antenna electrodes for ultra low power short-range human body communication use silver / silver chloride patches or on top of PCB or FPCB (Flexible PCB). Metal thin films, such as copper and gold, are formed and used. Therefore, there is an inconvenience that the antenna electrode for biosignal measurement human body communication is separately configured and attached to the skin of various parts of a wide area. In particular, both biological signal measurement or stimulus and human body communication use a relatively low frequency band and a low amount of data transmission and reception, which is an inefficient situation.
