There are numerous other materials which may not fall into one particular group or span more than one classification of material.
A sample of these include; Transparent Conductive Oxides (TCOs) such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) which is widely used as a thin conducting film due to its excellent electrical and optical properties. Composites such as carbon fibre, which have high tensile strength and low thermal expansion.
In addition, other common minerals such as Silicon Dioxide which is widely used in microelectronics.
A further class of materials is that composed of stacked layers, where the layers may vary from hundreds on nanometres through to hundreds of microns and beyond. Here lasers are particularly useful where top layers can be selectively removed without damaging the layers below e.g. in OLED stacks, metals on ceramics, metals on FR4 etc.
All of these materials and many others can be drilled, milled, cut or patterned with ultra-high precision producing features on the micron scale.
A sample of other material we can machine include:
Transparent Conductive Oxides (ITO, ZnO, SnO) | Composites (e.g. carbon fibre) | Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) | Plus many more...
