[mems-talk] Making holes in Pyrex glass wafers?

[Carsten Wesselkamp]

Plan Optik GmbH in Germany produces glass (e.g. Pyrex) wafers with holes.
The wafers can be from 100 microns (thickness) up to 5000 microns. The wafer
size can be from 1" to 12". The minimum hole diameter is approximately 500
microns (there is no maximum hole diameter). For that a newly developped,
numerically controlled, ultrasonic drilling process (so called USHD) is
used.
