Imaging spectrometer slims down
While a flat grating can be made using a greyscale photolithographic microfabrication technique that only requires a one-time exposure, curved gratings require labour-intensive electron-beam processing, he explains. The researchers tested their new device ...Physics World: 2020-11-23

PillarHall test chip able to analyse 3D thin film structures
It can be used to measure the conformality of the thin film process, i.e. the ability to coat a 3D object evenly. "The PillarHall disposable test chip can be used to compare different 3D thin film processes and reactors. The method is exceptional ...New Electronics: 2020-11-24

Springer Nature Publishing Releases New Book on MEMS Manufacturing
Authored by Dr. Michael Huff[2], Founder and Director of the MEMS and
Nanotechnology Exchange (MNX[3]) at Corporation for National Research
Initiatives[4].
The volume is entitled: Process Variations in Microsystems Manufacturing
and covers how to estimate and manage the dimensional and material
property variations resulting from the use of micro- and
nano-fabrication techniques when designing and developing a microsystems
device for production. This book is a valuable resource for
practitioners, researchers and engineers working in the field as well as
students at either the undergraduate or graduate level.
This book thoroughly examines and explains the basic processing steps
used in MEMS fabrication (both integrated circuit and specialized micro
machining processing steps. The book places an emphasis on the process
variations in the device dimensions resulting from these commonly used
processing steps. This will be followed by coverage of commonly used
metrology methods, process integration and variations in material
properties, device parameter variations, quality assurance and control
methods, and design methods for handling process variations. A detailed
analysis of future methods for improved microsystems manufacturing is
also included. This book is a valuable resource for practitioners,
researchers and engineers working in the field as well as students at
either the undergraduate or graduate level.
Examines and explains the basic processing steps used in MEMS
fabrication; Illustrates best practices and lessons learned in
manufacturing of microsystems for commercial products with detailed case
studies; Reviews future methods that may provide for improved process
variations.
