Novel Liquid Crystal Devices
We are always trying to find new device structures both for applications such as holography as well as test structures for new electro-optical effects. Simple example might include in-plane electric field structures right through to hybrid liquid crystal/silicon devices such as liquid crystal over silicon (LCOS). CMMPE has access to 2 large bays in the CAPE class 1000/100 cleanroom facility and also to a huge range of different processing options from deep reactive ion etching to double sided lithography. Research into new devices includes both the fabrication as well as the testing and characterisation of such structures
