Precision microcomb design and fabrication for x-ray optics assembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
Silicon microcombs developed at our laboratory for the precision alignment and assembly of large-area foil optics have previously been demonstrated to achieve submicron-level assembly repeatability with submillimeter-thick flat substrates. In this article we report on a double-side deep reactive-ion etch fabrication process using silicon-on-insulator wafers which was developed to improve the microcombs’ manufacturing accuracy. © 2003 American Vacuum Society. @DOI: 10.1116/1.1621668#

Microcomb design and fabrication for high accuracy optical assembly
There are two popular optic designs for x-ray space telescopes: the traditional monolithic design, which has demonstrated subarcsecond resolution but at enormous weight and cost per collecting area, and the foil design, which has achieved far greater collecting area per weight and cost, but with resolution limited to the arcminute level, in part due to foil assembly inaccuracy. In this article,...

Creatv MicroTech has developed unique fabrication techniques to make high precision, high-aspectratio metal microstructures to custom specifications. A lithography based fabrication method permits precise fabrication of various microstructures. Collimators and antiscatter grids with continuous, smooth, thin, parallel or focused septa have been fabricated using deep X-ray and optical lithography...
متن کاملDevelopment of a direct fabrication technique for full-shell x-ray optics
Future astrophysical missions will require fabrication technology capable of producing high angular resolution x-ray optics. A full-shell direct fabrication approach using modern robotic polishing machines has the potential for producing high resolution, light-weight and affordable x-ray mirrors that can be nested to produce large collecting area. This approach to mirror fabrication, based on t...
متن کاملPrecision optical displacement sensor based on ultra-thin film photodiode type optical interferometers
The design and fabrication of our compact precision optical displacement sensor (PODS) are based on the newly developed ultra-thin film photodiode with its active layer thinner than a half of the incident light wavelength. In this paper, a detailed description of the principle, design, fabrication process and performance of PODS for application in both smooth and rough surfaces will be given.
متن کاملMicro gas bearings fabricated by deep X-ray lithography
Micro bearing systems for Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) have drawn attention for several decades as critical components for micro rotating machinery. Ideally, frictionless bearings are needed, and in practice, micro gas bearings approach the ideal. Typically, bearings function as a separate component, assembled onto sliding counterparts. However, in micro scale devices, assembly proced...
