LIGA微細加工技術の応用例

ドイツのカールスルーエ技術研究所/工科大学(KIT)とスピンオフ企業のMicroworks GmbHは,金属とポリマーの微細構造体を高精度,高アスペクト比で製造します。高深度X線リソグラフィと電鋳(めっき)による超微細加工技術はLIGAプロセスと呼ばれ,X線光学(X線レンズ,X線回折格子),宇宙物理,医療機器,非破壊検査にて応用されている他,製造業向けの精密部品としても使用されています。

KIT/IMT and Microworks GmbH are two of the world's top authorities in the fabrication of high aspect ratio polymer and metal structures using deep X-ray lithography and electroplating techniques. These techniques, called LIGA Process, are applied in X-ray optics, astrophysics, medical instrumentation, and non-destructive testing. LIGA Process is also employed to manufacture micro metal gears and high aspect ratio apertures for optical applications.
