Description

The DL81 and DL82 are high-precision lapping and polishing systems, with the DL82 featuring two automatic workstations and the DL81 combining one automatic and one manual station. They support 700 mm plates and two precision air jigs, handling samples up to 8” (200 mm) jig-held or 12” (300 mm) free lapped. Adjustable air jigs (2–40 kg, 47 kg option) are software-controlled, with in-situ load cells for automatic calibration. Bluetooth-enabled plate flatness control and real-time thickness feedback ensure precision.

An automated jig handling system prevents over-processing, while a service hoist supports safe plate and jig handling. A 15” touch-screen with USB data extraction simplifies operation. Multi-stage processing is enabled by four 3.8 L cylinders, and the metered abrasive feed system (5-100 ml/min) improves efficiency. The sealed enclosure supports hazardous material processing, with an exhaust port for extraction. Real-time monitoring, recipe mode, EtherCAT diagnostics, and a traffic light status tower enhance control and repeatability.

Optoelectronics

Semiconductor materials are used in a wide variety of devices such as field effect transistors (MosFets, Fets), integrated circuits (ICs, MMICs, ASICs), focal plane arrays and infra-red detectors.

Whatever the application or material, each semiconductor wafer undergoes several common stages during manufacture, which include slicing the wafer from the crystal, preparing the surface prior to fabrication and thinning the device after fabrication through the use of lapping and polishing techniques.

Logitech provide complete system solutions including consumables for the precise thinning of these III-V, I.R. and similar materials.

Optoelectronics

Advances in communication technology have led to the development of a wide variety of optoelectronics and integrated optics devices for applications such as; dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), optical isolators, signal processors and optical switching.

DIAMONDS ARE AN ENGINEER’S BEST FRIEND

In recent years, diamond has emerged as not only a girl’s best friend, but also as contender as an engineer’s best friend – if the technical challenges of exploiting its remarkable properties can be overcome.

THE END OF THE CHIP FOR SILICON?

Silicon-based semiconducting integrated circuits have changed the world immeasurably over the past 50 years. Today the number of silicon chips in use far outweighs the number of humans currently alive.

OPTIMAL FRICTION FOR OPTIMAL FLATNESS

The wafers used to make semiconducting chips for electronic devices all have one thing in common – they need to be smooth – super smooth. Typically, wafer flatness needs to be controlled within ±2 μm.
