Antique Framed Print : MEMS production, furnace processing
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
MEMS production, furnace processing
MEMS production. Row of silicon wafers entering a furnace during the process of producing MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) devices. The wafers are being placed in the furnace so that they can be thermally oxidised. This helps to fix the structure of the devices deposited and etched on their surfaces. MEMS devices are constructed on a microscopic scale using technologies such as wet and dry etching and thin film deposition. Applications include sensors and optical displays. Materials used to construct MEMS devices include silicon and polymers such as plastics. Photographed at an INEX facility. INEX is a British microsystems and nanotechnology company that was founded in 2002

21"x16" (54x41cm) Antique Frame
Bevelled wood effect frame, card mounted, 15x10 archival quality photo print. Overall outside dimensions 21x16 inches (54x41cm). Environmentally and ozone friendly, Polycore® moulding has the look of real wood, is durable and light and easy to hang. Biodegradable and made with non-chlorinated gases (no toxic fumes) it is efficient; producing 100 tons of polystyrene can save 300 tons of trees! Prints are glazed with lightweight, shatterproof, optical clarity acrylic (providing the same general protection from the environment as glass). The back is stapled hardboard with a sawtooth hanger attached. Note: To minimise original artwork cropping, for optimum layout, and to ensure print is secure, the visible print may be marginally smaller
