Abstract:
Advanced silicon micromachining allows the realization of micro structured parts that exhibit structural dimensions and tolerances far beyond the abilities of ultra-precision engineering. In particular in combination with methods of thin film technology they are a versatile tool for the manufacturing of customer-specific sensors, micro components and subsystems for various fields of application. Using silicon structures as a master for the realization of metal mold inserts the fabrication of micro components from plastics becomes feasible.
