We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Micromachining",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release MEMS process innovation wins Europe-wide award from
Bosch Automotive OE Division, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two Bosch Group researchers have been named 'European Inventors of the Year'".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release High power laser diodes set for show launch from
Bookham: "Bookham will unveil an expanded portfolio of high power laser diode products at Photonics West later this month".
In November 2006, we covered the news from Oxford Lasers
- take a look at Management buyout at Oxford Lasers
which says: "Oxford Lasers has been wholly acquired by its management team".
Take a look also at the news release from Oxford Lasers, Micromachining system advances Welsh centre,
as well as Plasma source suits larger wafers from Surface Technology Systems,
and Oxford Lasers boosts manufacturing capacity from Oxford Lasers.
