Holographic Photolithography for 3D Interconnection
Gavin Williams,
Universities of Sheffield and Durham
ABSTRACT:
Durham and Sheffield universities have together developed the technique of 3D HOLOGRAPHIC PHOTOLITHOGRAPHY. The technique enables the cost-effective patterning of non-planar substrates, such as micro-sensors, actuators, antennae, micro-optics and micro-fluidic 'bio-chips'. It will also be of use in the boom area of ‘3d silicon’, where individual chips are stacked vertically on top of each other in order to maintain the relentless shrinkage of electronic devices. The technique uses computer-generated holograms (CGH) which recreate the required 3d light field when illuminated by a customized exposure tool. The CGHs can be made by standard means or by display on a spatial light modulator. We hold patents on the technology and seek industrial partners with whom to discuss its commercialization.
Gavin Williams is a research associate at Sheffield University and has been working with Luke Seed and Peter Ivey in the area of microsystem packaging for over ten years. Together with Alan Purvis’s group at Durham University he is a co-inventor of the 3d holographic photolithography technique.

OEM Diode Lasers for Photonics: Trends and Applications
Dr Thomas Renner, TOPTICA Photonics AG
ABSTRACT
Bio photonics, Microscopy, Semiconductor inspection or CtP printing are just market examples, which heavily integrate advanced photonic lasers. Diode lasers are often the preferred choice mainly because of their superb beam characteristics, beneficial cost structure and ease of use.
New wavelengths like 488nm, high power 650nm or THz generated by photomixing are expanding application areas. 200MHz direct modulation, sm fiber coupling and 12 orders of magnitude coherence control now make diode lasers the most versatile tool in the market.
Dr Thomas Renner is VP Sales and Marketing at Toptica Photonics AG, a leading manufacturer of diode lasers and ultra-fast fiber lasers.
