Buhler Group
Daniel de Sá Pereira joined Bühler Leybold Optics in 2021 working in the semiconductor market segment as a Technical Sales Manager. Daniel is a Microelectronics Engineer who graduated at the New University of Lisbon, Portugal (2015) and holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Durham, United Kingdom (2019). His research focused on the characterization of organic materials for applications in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). In 2021, Daniel joined the Business Unit Optics at Bühler Alzenau GmbH, focusing on the technical sales of vacuum equipment for optical coatings and trimming innovations for emerging applications that combine the worlds of optics and semiconductor such as augmented reality, photonic integrated circuits and ambient light sensors. The specialized product portfolio includes magnetron sputtering, evaporation, ion beam trimming, and the recently announced atomic layer deposition.
Presentations
Scaling Integrated Photonics by Advancing Wafer Uniformity via Vacuum Technologies
Integrated photonics will revolutionize both optical communications and quantum computing, yet mass-production scalability remains in early stages of development. In this talk, Bühler Leybold Optics presents unique perspective on its experience with high vacuum equipment, highlighting systems that enable thin films with high uniformity, low losses and roughness, as well as production scalability. We aim to advance Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) manufacturing to its expected mass market by showcasing surface correction capabilities such as Ion Beam Trimming (IBT Series) and optical coating systems like Magnetron Sputtering (HELIOS Series) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD 1200) on wafers up to 300 mm in diameter.
