Categories Related to Microfabrications
Microfabrication is a process that operates on the micron scale (1 mm to 0.001 mm), bridging the gap between conventional machining and nanotechnology. It focuses on micron-order precision, often employing laser processing for its ability to focus on extremely small areas with adjustable parameters like laser output and pulse width.
Microfabrication is utilized in various fields, particularly in creating intricate components from materials like metals, resins, and engineering plastics. Its applications span the medical, aerospace, semiconductor, and electronics industries, among others.
Laser microfabrication employs short-pulse lasers like nanosecond, femtosecond, and picosecond lasers. These lasers enable microscopic fabrication while minimizing thermal damage through a process called "ablation."
Microfabrication methods vary, with ultra-precision microfabrication using NC machine tools being a prominent example. This includes micro-hole machining, microgroove machining, precision microfabrication, complex surface machining, and mirror finish machining on various materials.
Selecting appropriate microfabrication techniques involves considering the precision of tools and equipment. This includes selecting high-precision machining tools, maintaining a stable temperature environment to account for material shrinkage, implementing vibration countermeasures, and using high-performance CNC image measuring instruments for accurate quality assurance.
