First developments towards producing inductive magnetic sensors using state-of-the-art photolithography techniques

Duccio Testa, Ambrine Douhane, Marcus Cemes

Inductive magnetic sensors are needed for tokamak operation to provide the low-frequency (LF) measurements leading to the equilibrium reconstruction and to monitor the higher frequency (HF) instabilities; the HF magnetic sensors are often also used as a ba ...

Micromachining of Hafnium Carbide

Fabian Linus Bauer

During this project, the microfabrication of Hafnium Carbide (HfC) was investigated. Multiple tools were considered and tested for their compatibility and effectiveness when working with HfC. The main method of choice for the machining of HfC thin films wa ...

Fabrication and applications of AuAg alloy metasurfaces and hybrid metal dielectric nanoantennas

Debdatta Ray

The most prevalent materials used in the field of plasmonics are Au and Ag. However, for the past few years, the plasmonic community has also been looking for alternative materials that have lower losses than Au and higher stability than Ag. This thesis is ...

FEM simulation: Thermal properties of thin film quartz and silicon resonators

This semester project aimed at simulating two approaches for low temperature dependence of resonance frequency of resonators. The first one consists in using AT-cut quartz as the resonator’s material. The AT-cut quartz wafers are made using a 35° angle wit ...

Tolerancing the surface form of aspheric microlenses manufactured by wafer-level optics techniques

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

Tolerancing is an important step toward the fabrication of high-quality and cost-effective lens surfaces. It is critical for wafer-level optics, when up to tens of thousands microlenses are fabricated in parallel and whose surfaces cannot be formed individ ...

Computational rule-based approach for corner correction of non-Manhattan geometries in mask aligner photolithography

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Chen Yan, Raoul Kirner, Andreas Vetter

In proximity mask aligner photolithography, diffraction of light at the mask pattern is the predominant source for image shape distortions such as line end shortening and corner rounding. One established method to mitigate the impact of diffraction is opti ...

Optical-stack optimization for improved SPAD photon detection efficiency

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ivan Michel Antolovic, Ekin Kizilkan, Rolando Ferrini, Arin Can Ülkü, Scott Anthony Lindner, Marc Schnieper, Frédéric Zanella

Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are direct photon-to-digital detectors that enable scalable arrays with Poisson-limited signal-to-noise ratio and picosecond timing resolution. However, SPAD detectors require a guard-ring structure to prevent lateral ...

Spatial coherence properties of an LED-based illumination system for mask-aligner lithography

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Raoul Kirner, Johana Bernasconi

A high-power LED-based illumination system has been developed as a replacement for the mercury arc lamps used in mask-aligner lithography. LEDs are arranged in a grid array and placed in the entrance aperture of individual reflectors. Those reflectors decr ...
