Description
The use of lasers provides an alternative microfabrication technique in a wide range of applications. Laser-micromachining can be applied to variety of materials (e.g. silicon, glass, polymers, metals,ceramics). The course will provide information on advantages and limitations of laser processes in comparison with conventional fabrication technologies for micro devices, give an insight into production issues which are involved in laser processing and detail the developments taking place in laser microengineering systems.

Course Contents and Time Table
· Basic principles of lasers.
· Fundamentals of material interactions (absorption, thermal effects, ablation, etc.).
· Principles of different laser processing methods (for drilling, cutting, micromachining, annealing, cleaning, lithography,
surface structuring, etc.).
· Advantages and disadvantages of different lasers for various applications.
· Description of industrial laser systems (Nd : YAG, CO2, Eximer).
· Detailed examples of applications.
· Demonstrations of laser microfabrication processes (including videos).

Audience
R&D and production engineers involved in the development of new products based on microsystems technology (MST). Executives who want to compare the highly flexible laser processes with the technologies commonly used in microengineering. Students wishing to gain an insight into this rapidly expanding area.

Lecturers
A course developed by Exitech Limited in Oxford (UK). The main tutor will be Dr. Nadeem Rizvi (Exitech). There will be an additional invited speaker who will talk on a specific area of laser microengineering.
