At present main issue of neuroscience is to ascertain the relationships between the functional connectivity-map of neuronal circuits and their physiological or pathological func-tions. Voltage clamp are developed for intracellular recording. However, the voltage clamps are limited to measure simultaneous recordings of neural activity from hundreds of individual neu-rons and monitor long-term electrophysiological information. Although Multi-electrode array (MEA) is developed and commercialized to overcome the limits, this two dimensional MEA cannot record intracellular signals. Three dimensional multi-electrode array is suggested to record intracellular signals. In this study, new 3D mushroom shaped MEA is designed. The new MEA has high electrodes density and broad contact area. The MEA is modeled as equiva-lent circuit and simulated to compare with conventional 3D MEA as multisim software. Fabrica-tion conditions of MEA are arranged and problems are analyzed in fabrication process. After this, The MEA would be used to study brain network.
