Whether high-precision drive solutions, sensors, new production technologies or advanced materials: the Product Market "Micro, Nano & Materials" at Microtechnology/Hannover Fair 2007 has a lot of highlights to offer. Some of them are presented by IVAM Microtechnology Network in a fair special.
The Berliner Elektronenspeicherring-Gesellschaft für Synchrotronstrahlung BESSY will show high-precision micro components for mechanical applications, high-precision molding tools for hot embossing and injection molding, µTAS and fluidic systems for bio chips, micro-optical components and measuring equipment for microsystems.
CiS Institut für Mikrosensorik GmbH will present micro condensation sensors for humidity tests of electronic devices, for example in cars. A development project of CiS are tactile sensors, which determine the geometrical characteristics of micro components and structures in areas that are difficult to access through vision, such as steep walls, edges and undercuts.
With the visualization and monitoring systems of Cavitar Ltd., you can see bright high temperature objects as cold and freeze small or high speed objects and phenomena.
Corelase Oy introduces pico second pulsed fiber lasers. High beam quality, ultra short pulses and high repetition rates make X-LASE a compact mode locked fiber laser solution for micromachining with minimal thermal load.
EV Group has developed a new method for coating substrates with very small features, where common techniques (spin coating, spray coating) are not applicable. With the new NanoSpray technology users will be able to carry out further lithography steps at the bottom of the via in order to create through wafer interconnects. Typical fields of application are advanced packaging and MEMS.
High-precision drive solutions will be presented by FMD - Feinmess Dresden GmbH. In addition to the high-precision linear and rotational stages, the product portfolio ranges from compact XY and aperture stages for measuring and scanning applications to innovative special systems for the usage in extreme environmental conditions. This array includes applications in high magnetic fields or in the ultra high vacuum. Furthermore, nano-positioning systems with innovative piezo-leg drive will be highlighted.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing and Advanced Materials (IFAM) is working in the areas of micro metal injection molding (µ-MIM) and materials development. In recent years it became obvious that an additional functionalization of components is of increasing importance for industrial applications. For this reason Fraunhofer IFAM focused on R&D work in the areas of miniaturization, production of complex geometries and especially the integration of functions for the respective component.
The Fraunhofer-Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM will show a near infrared (NIR) spectrometer, which can be applied in food control, medical diagnostics and gas analysis. The use of micro-opto-electrical-mechanical systems (MOEMS) offers outstanding possibilities for the realization of such systems. According to the respective application, systems with different wavelength ranges and spectral resolutions can be realized.
With the Vision Inspection Feeding System (VIFS) IMS offers a solution, where traditional feeding techniques stop. The system is suitable for automatic, flexible feeding of micro parts. In micro assembly the supply of micro parts is difficult due to, for example, adhesive forces that influence the reliability of traditional feeding techniques. The VIFS combines feeding and inspection functionality, has a modular design, is flexible in use, is suitable for accurate supply and/or selection of parts and is a cost-effective system because it is made out of standard components and needs no devices.
JENOPTIK Laser, Optik, Systeme GmbH, industry pioneer in the design and fabrication of hot embossing tools, will introduce its Hex04 system. This system provides the user with maximum flexibility in the high precision molding of polymer parts with features in the micro and nano dimension, including those with high aspect ratios. The Hex04 features substrates/molds up to 300 millimeters in diameter and short cycle times.
Laser Competence Centre Finland (LCC Finland) covers the whole development chain including technology oriented basic research, end users' application development, system integration and testing of lasers as well as transferring the technology and applications to industry.
Based on silicon micro-machining technology, the Axetris Microsystems Division of LEISTER Process Technologies offers solutions for demanding sensing applications in the area of gas flow sensing and active components for infrared gas detection applications, e.g. thermal IR sources with direct electrical modulation for NDIR gas detection, IR spectroscopy and photo-acoustic gas detection. Furthermore Axetris Microsystems provides a range of standard and customer defined optical microstructures, based on wafer scale technology, including refractive micro lens arrays and diffractive optical elements.
Servometer Precision Manufacturing Group from the USA delivers precision components like electroformed nickel bellows and structural electroforms - amongst others for the United States Air Force and the Space Shuttle Program.
An expert of machining mechanical parts of very high precision is the French company STEEC. STEEC offers micro engineering, wire cutting, laser cutting and micro drilling.
The divison MSA from the Technische Universität Ilmenau demonstrates the use of nanosized silicon needles (known as Black Silicon) as an assembly technology for microsystems. This new material allows the precise alignment of microparts without additional glue. It is a new opportunity for MEMS packaging.
