Abstract

Biophotonic and Life Science applications often require non-CMOS compatible materials to be patterned with sub &mu;m resolution. Whilst the mass production of sub &mu;m patterns is well established in the semiconductor industry, semiconductor fabs are limited to using CMOS compatible materials. IMT of Switzerland has implemented a fully automated manufacturing line that allows cost effective mass manufacturing of consumables for biophotonics in substrate materials like D263 glass or fused silica and layer/coating materials like Cr, SiO<sub>2</sub>, Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>, Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>, Ta<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and with some restrictions even gold with sub-&mu;m patterns. The applied processes (lift-off and RIE) offer a high degree of freedom in the design of the consumable.
