Request InfoFiber Optic Center Inc.Fiber Optic Center Inc. offers AngstromBond AB9104, a clear, low-viscosity adhesive for optical alignments. It cures at room temperature with low shrinkage and can wick to fill small bond gaps. It bonds to glass, ceramic, metals and most plastic substrates. AB9104 exhibits low outgassing characteristics, resists chemicals and solvents and acts as an electrical insulator. It is also suitable for applications requiring low stress and high strength.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaARTICLESPhotonics Spectra January 2024 IssueHybrid Photoresist Helps Meet Demand for Smaller ChipsTo achieve performance gains in microelectronics, semiconductor size continues to shrink, with feature sizes now in the sub-10-nm range.
