Micro-optic research
Unaxis Wafer Processing has partnered with the University of Central Florida (UCF) in advanced optics development. These R&D efforts will use a Unaxis SHUTTLELINE plasma etch system to fabricate complex micro-optical elements using wafer based manufacturing techniques.
Unaxis Wafer Processing has partnered with the University of Central Florida (UCF) in advanced optics development. These R&D efforts will use a Unaxis SHUTTLELINE plasma etch system to fabricate complex micro-optical elements using wafer based manufacturing techniques.
“Unaxis’ system allows us to etch complex micro-optics with both nano and micron-scale features for a wide range of research applications,” says Dr Eric Johnson, assistant professor at UCF’s School of Optics.
Ed Ostan, director of Unaxis’ Etch strategic business unit adds: “The UCF partnership has allowed us to enhance our etch technology to better meet the future requirements of photonic applications as well as extend these developments into other key markets such as GaN lighting, MEMS and power amplifiers for telecommunication devices.”
