To achieve maximum performance in fiber-optic or photonics alignment, the components and tolerances involved are extremely small, sometimes on the order of 10s of nanometers. Accuracy at this level requires mechanisms with sub-micron to nanometer resolution. And in a typical silicon photonics manufacturing process, such alignments may be required up to two dozen times. Don’t miss the ins and outs of the evolution from passive, to active, to automated active alignment in our blog post by Scott Jordan. 👇🏻 https://lnkd.in/ecX5rFGC #photonics #opticalfiber #alignment

For optimal performance in fiber-optic or photonics alignment, extremely precise tolerances down to tens of nanometers are crucial, requiring mechanisms with sub-micron to nanometer precision. Silicon photonics manufacturing often demands such precision repeatedly.

As semiconductor manufacturing advances, the need for ultra-precise metrology tools grows. A prime example of ALIO's innovation to meet these goals is its 300mm open-center XY Nano Metrology stage, which is engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy in six degrees of freedom—linear (X, Y), rotational (Theta), as well as in straightness, flatness, pitch, and roll. While the stage provides actuation in the X, Y, and Theta directions, it ensures highly precise positioning in all six degrees of freedom, with bi-directional repeatability of less than ±250 nanometers. This design addresses a fundamental challenge in metrology: the need for large, open apertures that allow precise motion control and exceptional accuracy without the need for actuation in all axes. For applications requiring additional Z-axis movement, a compatible Z actuator can be integrated.

The semiconductor and consumer electronics industries are two prominent adopters of laser microprocessing. These sectors benefit from the advantages that industrial lasers provide for various processes in the manufacture and refinement of wafers, displays, circuit boards, and other core components. The architectures of electronic components, in particular, consist of multiple layers, each potentially made of very different materials. Additionally, cleanliness must be ensured throughout the manufacturing process. Antonio Castelo, PhD explores the factors that compound the challenges faced by laser systems tasked with enabling such precision processing. And highlights companies that excel in this challenge like Litilit, Synova SA, Femtum, Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC), Akoneer, Precitec - Laser Material Processing, New Imaging Technologies (NIT) and PULSATE.

"As advancements in laser microprocessing flourish in the semiconductor sector, process monitoring, including via SWIR imaging, is further increasing the chances to achieve favorable outcomes in processing compact components. " "In the imaging domain, SWIR cameras are favored for semiconductor inspection due to the capability of SWIR light to "see" inside silicon to detect cracks and other potential wafer defects, or defects to solar cell panels. SWIR imagers are further used to perform failure analyses of integrated circuits. New Imaging Technologies’ (NIT’s) line-scan array camera solution, for example, which is based on an indium gallium arsenide detector, provides extremely sharp images of defects in materials at high throughput. This system achieves 2K resolution (2048 × 1 pixels at 7.5-μm pixel pitch). NIT has also recently launched a high resolution SWIR sensor for the most demanding inspections in this field, with an 8-μm pixel pitch and 2-MP resolution at 1920 × 1080 pixels. This solution achieves ultralow noise of 25 e- to ensure image clarity even in challenging environments."
