Synchrotron radiation gives shape to matter

Creators

Description

The LIGA technology was invented 15 years ago in Germany. A photo-sensible resin is irradiated through a mask, then the chemical dissolution of the resin forms a raised relief pattern that can be electroplated. This X-ray deep lithography technique is very well adapted to produce reduced-size mechanical parts of motors, sensors and actuators. (A.C.)
