Align & Shine lithography, towards high throughput optical fiber-top sensor fabrication.
Currently optical sensors such as nano indentation sensors, micro cantilevers, gas and pressure sensors are fabricated from carved glass ferrules. This carving process is complex and time consuming, and not always exactly reproducible. In this project I develop and optimize an alternative fiber-top sensor production method in the um range. I carve the structure right on the tip of the fiber itself instead of using a ferrule.
The MEMS device is made out of a 1 um thin film of Silicon deposited on top of a sacrificial layer of 2 um Gold. Thanks to Align & Shine technology, the shape of the required structure is fabricated with the use of lithography and Reactive Ion Etching. Semiconductor industry has shown us that lithography is the method for a high yield, high throughput production process.

Research of semiconductor implantation using Rutherford Backscattering as the main research tool.
HBO University
Ing., Fysics
1971 – 1975
The HBO University dept. of Physics was one of the earliest bachelor educations in the 1960's by promotion of Philips Electronic Company, since the company needed more technical staff members with a physics background in the research lab. At the start of the Physics dept. no appropriate books were available so the university lecture notes of the Technical University of Eindhoven were used. All students who got the degree found their first job at the Philips Research Center in Waalre (Eindhoven)
