Femtosecond Laser Station

WS-Turret MM200-USP
Description
Our femtosecond laser platform is a key element of our fabrication workflow, directly connected to the cleanroom environment. More than a high-precision tool, it serves as a versatile interface between design and prototyping, enabling us to move seamlessly from microfabrication to functional devices.
We use the system to cut electrode contours with micrometer accuracy, to dice wafers cleanly and efficiently, and to perform a wide range of ultrafast laser applications such as surface structuring, patterning, and selective material removal. The femtosecond regime allows us to process delicate materials without thermal damage, preserving both the integrity and performance of sensitive devices.
Thanks to its seamless integration and intuitive software environment, the platform accelerates development cycles, opening the door to rapid prototyping, novel device architectures, and advanced surface engineering—all within a single, flexible system.
