MEMS production, wafer cutting
MEMS production. Machine being used to cut up a silicon wafer of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) devices. The liquid provides lubrication during the cutting process. MEMS devices are constructed on a microscopic scale using technologies such as wet and dry etching and thin film deposition. Applications include sensors and optical displays. Materials used to construct MEMS devices include silicon and polymers such as plastics. Photographed at an INEX facility. INEX is a British microsystems and nanotechnology company that was founded in 2002

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of MEMS production, specifically wafer cutting. The image showcases a state-of-the-art machine meticulously slicing a silicon wafer filled with MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) devices. To ensure precision and efficiency, a liquid is used as lubrication during this delicate cutting process. MEMS devices are constructed on a microscopic scale using advanced technologies like wet and dry etching and thin film deposition. These remarkable devices find applications in various fields such as sensors and optical displays. Materials like silicon and polymers, including plastics, are utilized to construct these tiny yet powerful components. The photograph was taken at an INEX facility, a renowned British microsystems and nanotechnology company established in 2002. This snapshot epitomizes the cutting-edge research conducted by INEX in their pursuit of technological advancements. The image portrays an industrial setting within an English laboratory or clean room where high-tech equipment is employed for manufacturing purposes. It symbolizes the fusion of mechanics, electronics, and nanotechnology that underpins the development of MEMS devices. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this momentous scene without mentioning any commercial use associated with it. Instead, they focus on showcasing the marvels of modern technology through their lens while emphasizing the importance of scientific progress in our ever-evolving world.
