Technology
Life BioScience (LBSI) was founded to develop and market a number of products derived from its proprietary, photodefinable glass substrates. These materials are well suited for a creating miniature structures (i.e., smaller than 1/10th the width of a human hair) in a rapid and scalable manner. This is accomplished by altering the composition of the glass to create various glass-ceramic materials, which share properties with both glasses and ceramics.
The process to accomplish this structural change is straightforward: a mask or pattern of the intended design is made, placed on the glass wafer, exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light and baked.
The regions of the glass exposed to the UV light, and baked, form a type of ceramic which can be etched faster in acid than the non-exposed glass regions. This process allows micro-features to be patterned in the material. LBSI anticipates that this capability will have applications in a wide range of markets -- medical, biotech, electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, automotive, and many others.
