Advancements in Deep Ultraviolet Laser Technology Researchers developed a 60-milliwatt solid-state DUV laser at 193 nm using LBO crystals, setting new benchmarks in efficiency values. In the realm of science and technology, harnessing coherent light sources in the deep ultraviolet (DUV) region holds immense significance across various applications such as lithography, defect inspection, metrology, and spectroscopy. Traditionally, high-power 193-nanometer (nm) lasers have been pivotal in lithography, forming an integral part of systems used for precise patterning. However, the coherence limitations associated with conventional ArF excimer lasers hinder their effectiveness in applications requiring high-resolution patterns, like interference lithography.

Argon-fluoride (ArF) excimer lasers — deep UV (DUV) lasers emitting light with a wavelength of 193 nm — are used in lithography to create precise patterns. However, the limited coherence of conventional ArF excimer lasers hinders their effectiveness in applications requiring high-resolution patterns, like interference lithography. #photonics #lasers

🎉An Improved Approach to Creating 3D Microstructures by Prof. Mitch LI’s Team🎉 A big round of applause to Prof. Mitch LI, Assistant Professor of the Division of Integrative System and Design (ISD), and his research team for their accepted article on Advanced Functional Materials, one of the top journals in this field.✨✨ The research introduced a new approach to creating 3D microstructures with higher simplicity and repeatability, which is a significant improvement in advanced manufacturing, especially in emerging miniaturized applications, e.g. #invasive robotics, minimized drug delivery, implanted batteries and nano photonics. Self-assembly is a powerful strategy for creating 3D artificial structures. 💪The existing thin film release techniques limits structural complexity. Prof. Mitch LI and his team proposed a localized laser scribing strategy that can guide the self-assembly of 2D thin films into 3D microstructures. ⚙️The laser-induced heating and momentum can release the films and roll them into various microstructures. This method allows accurate control of shapes, curvatures, orientations, and sizes for the fabricated rolls. No pre-patterning or post-drying is needed. 😍The flexibility and simplicity of this method represents a significant improvement over existing self-assembly techniques and may enrich thin film self-assembly materials and applications. Let’s take a look at this video and understand how a localized laser scribing strategy prepares gold micro-rolls.📺 #HKUSTISD #HKUSTAIS #hkust #advancemanufacturing #laser #invasiverobotics #implantedbattery #nanophotonics

It is always exiting to see what our creative and innovative users are doing with our #AFMprobes. In their article “Electron-beam lithography of nanostructures at the tips of scanning probe cantilevers” L. Forrer, A. Kamber, A. Knoll, M. Poggio and F. R. Braakman describe how they developed a process to fabricate nanoscale metallic gate electrodes on scanning probe cantilevers. * They even patterned the very fragile tip of the NANOSENSORS AdvancedTEC ATEC-NC https://lnkd.in/deDwjJM with a gate array defined through the etching process. * Their method allows the patterning of nanoscale devices on fragile scanning probes, extending their functionality as sensors. * Please have a look at the NANOSENSORS blog for the full citation and a direct link to the full article. https://lnkd.in/dSrEzaBH #Metallizationprocess #ScanningProbeMicroscopy #atomicforcemicroscopy #2Dmaterials #SpinCoating  #ElectronBeamLithography  #nanomaterials #nanoscale #AFMprobes #AFMtips #tipviewAFMprobes #原子力显微镜探针 #原子力显微镜 #AFMプローブ #AFMカンチレバー #AFM探针

Precision to the moon! 🔎➡️🌕 To expose nanometer-scale structures on the wafer, we do not only manufacture the most precise mirrors in the world for our optical system, but we also need to adjust these mirrors extremely accurately with each other to guide the EUV light through the system. To hold the mirrors in their positions as precisely as possible during the exposure process, we have developed an entirely new mechatronic concept for maximum tilt stability. And its results speak for themselves: If one of these EUV mirrors were to redirect a laser beam towards the moon, it would be able to hit a golf ball on the moon's surface. 🏌🏻♂️🔎🌕 Find more information on EUV lithography: 👇🏻 https://lnkd.in/eykNfnCZ #euv #lithography #technology #precision
