Semiconductors	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. Logitech has a large selection of adaptable systems for the preparation of optoelectronic materials such as; silicon, lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, bismuith silicon oxide, barium titanate and similar materials. Our systems, accessories and consumables provide defect free face and edge polishing on optoelectronic substrate and scratch free surfaces with exacting and repeatable dimensional tolerances.
Optics	The importance of optical polishing and the processing of optical components has never been greater with the ongoing development of the telecommunications market. Whether for Infra Red and polymer waveguide production or fibre optic cable polishing. The precision design and manufacture of our equipment enable you to obtain maximum results from the cutting, lapping and polishing of these optical materials.
Other Applications	Logitech systems are used by organisations across the world for many different complex sample preparation processes. Including the thin section preparation of; Teeth, Bone, Otoliths, Ceramics, Metals, Alloys, Polymers and other Carbon-based materials.

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.
