Download or read book The Physics of Microfabrication written by Ivor Brodie and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Physical Electronics Department of SRI International (formerly Stanford Research Institute) has been pioneering the development of devices fabricated to submicron tolerances for well over 20 years. In 1961, a landmark paper on electron-beam lithography and its associated technologies was published by K. R. Shoulderst (then at SRI), which set the stage for our subsequent efforts in this field. He had the foresight to believe that the building of such small devices was actually within the range of human capabilities. As a result of this initial momentum, our experience in the technologies associated with microfabrication has become remarkably comprehensive, despite the relatively small size of our research activity. We have frequently been asked to deliver seminars or provide reviews on various aspects of micro fabrication. These activities made us aware of the need for a comprehensive overview of the physics of microfabrication. We hope that this book will fill that need.

Download or read book Microfabrication of Thin films written by Yei Hwan Jung and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thin films are layers of materials with thicknesses ranging from sub-nanometers to several micrometers. In engineering, thin films are attractive because of their exceptional materials properties that are ideal for a wide range of applications. At micro-scale, thin films are extremely difficult to handle because of the delicacy of the films that can easily break or tear apart with slight mechanical deformations. Therefore, microfabrication of thin films has long been a challenge in most fields. In this work, conventional microfabrication techniques were modified to fabricate various thin films, including high-performance flexible and stretchable electronics and biodegradable electronics. Moreover, the techniques used for fabricating such devices were implemented to create thin film scaffolds that can benefit stem cell replacement therapy. Recent progresses in flexible or stretchable electronics and unconventional microfabrication technology present a route to creating high-performance biocompatible materials in forms that enable conformal contacts to the curvilinear surfaces, such as skin, tissues and organs. One of the key technology missing for such thin film electronics was the high-frequency operation of electronics, which enables wireless communications and high-speed data transfers. New device designs and fabrication strategies were developed for high-frequency flexible and stretchable electronic components, which possess state-of-the-art performance that would lead to electronics capable of high-frequency operations using purely thin film components. Moreover, thin film electronics are not only advantageous for creating flexible and stretchable electronics, but also for tremendously reducing the amount of inorganic materials used for electronics manufacture. Thus, the fabrication techniques were utilized to demonstrate a complete set of green device components required for high-performance electronics using modified microfabrication techniques and thin film components on biodegradable wood-derived films. Finally, the unique precision manufacturing capabilities in microfabrication technology were applied to create complex micro-structures on polymer thin films for stem cell transplantation scaffolds. The demonstrated transplantable thin film scaffold with micro-structures can guide the polarization of retinal stem cells, offering replacement therapy for the patients who were limited to no treatment options.

Download or read book Thin Film Micro Optics written by Ruediger Grunwald and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-02-19 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thin-film microoptics" stands for novel types of microoptical components and systems which combine the well-known features of miniaturized optical elements with the specific advantages of thin optical layers. This approach enables for innovative solutions in shaping light fields in spatial, temporal and spectral domain. Low-dispersion and small-angle systems for tailoring and diagnosing laser pulses under extreme conditions as well as VUV-capable microoptics can be realized. Continuous-relief microstructures of refractive, reflective and hybrid characteristics are obtained by vapor deposition technologies with shadow masks in rotating systems. The book gives a comprehensive overview on fundamental laws of microoptics, types of thin-film microoptical components, methods and constraints of their design, fabrication and characterization, structure transfer into substrates, optical functions and applications. Recent theoretical and experimental results of basic and applied research are addressed. Particular emphasis will be laid on the generation of localized, nondiffracting few-cycle wavepackets of extended depth of focus and high tolerance against distortions. It is shown that the spectral interference of ultrabroadband conical beams results in spatio-temporal structures of characteristic X-shape, so-called X-waves, which are interesting for robust optical communication. New prospects are opened by exploiting small conical angles from nanolayer microoptics and self-apodized truncation of Bessel beams leading to the formation of single-maximum nondiffracting beams or "needle beams". Thin-film microoptical beam shapers have an enormous potential for future applications like the two-dimensional ultrafast optical processing, multichannel laser-matter interaction, nonlinear spectroscopy or advanced measuring techniques. - Introduces a new and promising branch of microoptics - Gives a compact overview on the types, properties and applications of the most important microoptical components containing valuable data and facts- Helps to understand the basic optical laws - Reports on the historical development line of thin-film microoptics - Provides brand new results of research and development in the field of ultrashort-pulse laser beam shaping and diagnostics- Discusses the future trends and first approaches of next generation microoptics- Contains a carefully assorted glossary of the most important technical terms
