Dr. Hans Ulrich explained about various products of 'Delta Tau' related to SPM developments. He briefed about Delta Tau Controllers for different applications such as additive manufacturing, Ultra Precision Machines etc., He also highlighted the new features like Adaptive Control, Spectral decomposition and auto correction interpolator of 'Delta Tau Motion Controllers'. He suggested to explore the 'Delta Tau' motion controller’s for our SPM developments.

‘Reactive Ion Etching & Deep Reactive Ion Etching’

CMTI organized a technical presentation on ‘Reactive Ion Etching & Deep Reactive Ion Etching’ by Mr. Kousik Sivakumar, Manager – Application and Sales, Research Group, Amil Ltd., on 13th July 2015 for the benefit of CMTI Scientific community. The talk focused on Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) or Deep Silicon Etching (DSE™) an industry leading technology for creating high aspect ratio features in silicon for MEMS and nanotechnology applications. DSE is a type of anisotropic etching technique that etches silicon indiscriminately with regards to the crystal planes, creating deep straight,

trenches, and high aspect ratio side walls with excellent depth uniformity.
