Niels Bohr Institute Researchers Successfully Cleave Delicate Nanostructures

Scientists in the Quantum Photonics Group at the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen who are developing new technologies for photonic and quantum-information applications used the LatticeAx to alleviate one of their biggest sample preparation challenges: precise cleaves on small samples without damaging delicate fabricated nanostructures. Scientists are engaged in leading edge research to investigate the quantum interactions between light and nanophotonic semiconductor materials. They needed a way to cleave small sample without damaging the delicate devices. Cleaving using hand held scribers and cleaving tools did not produce the quality needed but the LatticeAx 420 cleaving system was able to do the job.
