Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems
The goal of the AziTrim project is the further development and optimization of a process chain for the production of variably oriented lattice structures for use in augmented reality (AR) applications. The project is based on the ion-beam trimming process of a scia Trim 200 system, which provides the basis for a demonstrator. The focus of the work is the simulation-based development of an innovative fine-beam ion source operated with inert and reactive gases. By combining the ion-beam source with a novel 5-axis system, elaborate masking and handling processes are eliminated, ensuring an efficient process. Furthermore, this creates additional degrees of freedom for the design of waveguides in AR applications.
