One of the research focuses of the Leibniz Institute for Photonic Technologies (Leibniz-IPHT) is on optically pumped magnetometers. A partial task for the production of these magnetic field detectors is the structuring of silicon. Since wet chemical processes are not applicable to certain geometries and substrate thicknesses, a machine is required for an alternative process. Due to the advantages compared to other non-classical ablation methods, this was limited to ultrasound-assisted milling. In this context, the supply and installation of a 5-axis portal ultrasonic milling machine is put out to tender.
