Technology Chain of Micro- and Nanostructuring

From Idea to Structure: Complete Solutions for Micro- and Nanotechnology

Our expertise covers the entire process chain of photolithography and electron beam lithography - from structuring and subsequent etching steps through to precise measurement technology. In addition, we offer a sophisticated replication technology with which the structures created can be efficiently reproduced.

Services and Competencies

Complete process chain of design, production and measurement of refractive and diffractive optical structures.

 

Materials

We process a wide range of materials from silicon, quartz glass and diamond to polymers - on substrates up to 300 mm in diameter.

 

Electron Beam Lithography

Our electron beam lithography sets standards in precision and resolution for photonic components and enables the realization of the most complex micro- and nanostructured components with unique design freedom. Ideal for prototypes and small series.

 

Photolithography

Photolithography rethought: precise, reproducible and versatile. Perfect for innovative solutions in optics and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes!

 

Etching Technologies

Versatility in etching: Our RIE, IBF, RIBE and wet chemical etching processes deliver precise profile control from nano to micrometer structures and enable the processing of a wide variety of materials.

 

Replications

UV molding enables cost-effective micro-optics production on wafer scale. It offers precise alignment, short cycle times and is suitable for applications such as microlens arrays and wafer-level optics.

 

Metrology

From microscopy to SEM to interferometry and more, we offer precise measurement techniques for structural and functional measurements for research or quality control.
