Direct Structure Definiton
By direct structure definition we mean that you form the structures for you device directly in the material that the device consist of without any masking steps. Some of the techniques may require a master.
Choose method of structuring/equipment
- UV Lithography
- 2-Photon Polymerization Lithography
- Nano Imprint Lithography
- Polymer Injection Molder
- Laser Micromachining Tool/ablation
- Dicing saw
Materials for structuring
- Polymers
- Metals/Silicon/Graphene
- Glass
